I am so disappointed with this album. Same dull as "From Chaos To Eternity" from a decade ago. No melodies, music just playing through but brings no emotions whatsoever.
And nothing like last album, which was great melodically and nearly each song was a killer.
Are they trying to get by this into prog/power field? If yes, this attempt failed. There nothing alike Laybirnth or Secret Sphere. Therefore 4/10. Meh.....

It's not that it's bad, but they've put out a lot of better efforts, this is pretty forgettable inside RoF's discography.

Very nice album. Better than the last one.

Unispired borefest of the year

This just doesn't sound like Rhapsody anymore and it hasn't since all the good members left. Just a continuation of the last bland album. You can tell it's all written by a keyboardist because everything else is shoved into the background. "I'll Be Your Hero" sums up this iteration of Rhapsody for me - generic and bland, sounding like a billion other bands of the genre. Rhapsody used to really stand out for me in their approach and sound. I also still don't like this vocalist. I know it's hard to follow Fabio but the guy sounds like he's just about to burst into tears constantly.

A few catchy songs nonetheless: Maid Of The Secret Sand, Infinitae Gloriae, Chains Of Destiny. Still it's uninspiring and forgettable as a whole...

I don't like this new vocalist anyway, I don't think even best writing and musicianship in this world can save this band if Fabio is missing.
2016 was last good album and I guess it will stay like this.

Infinitely better than the last effort... I'm actually really surprised by this one. Biggest surprise of 2021?

As much as I like Staropoli, I have to be real. This is no longer Rhapsody. This is just an average power metal band now.

I don't know. Good album, but earlier stuff is undeniably better. I enjoy this, which shows Turilli isn't the necessary member of the band, especially since his split work has been so-so. A bit more generic than others, but good still overall.

Boring, boring, boring... sorry. My top band fall somewhere under standard.

Can you not tell what is wrong with this post? You could easily apply this logic to any band member, and it is simply not true. Not to mention incredibly douchey and ignorant.

Decided to relisten to this after ages, and wow. I am not a fan at all, this must be the best I've ever heard from them. I like the vocals better, guitar work is good, not to much pointless shredding, orchestration great. Fun songs, not bloated at all (like their early stuff imo). I rarely like anything from this band, but the most recent albums from both bands has actually been quite good.

Na, I stand by it. Alex put himself front and centre following Luca leaving and his keyboard is inescapable. Call it douchey and ignorant if you want, the band still is nowhere near as good as they were before Alex became the primary songwriter.

Ah... ignore the name-calling. I actually do see where you're coming from, I just don't mind it as much as you
