 ... permissible. This is a bit of an odd single, essentially promoting the contemporary 'Imaginations from the Other Side' album but highlighting a title song that isn't even on the album, rather than the earlier Japanese version of this single that led with the edit of 'Bright Eyes.' That song, the second track on this release, remains a classic from the 'Imaginations' album, but Andre Olbrich's most excellent guitar solo has been chopped, which is a real shame, and the B-side 'Hallelujah' and 'Imaginations from the Other Side' d...more

Fun beats, differnt to anything else out there will offend some people

Back on form, Classic tracks in front of a 250,000-strong crowd, Also available on DVD Three guitarists is a little crowded sometimesDoesn't represent some of the best materialLong song groupings get tedious

Prog fans will be happy, and some songs make good use of the new sound. Disappointing change of style resulting in a difficult album to listen to, with few stand-out moment

Lots of bangers Nothing specific

Some great covers and the band's fine acoustic work reproduced. Some less great covers, and overall an unbalanced perspective on the band.

Blind Guardian aren't completely written off yet, and the album may attract new fans. Folk tendencies now work to its disadvantage, as do the other traits left over from the last release
