│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Normally I don't review compilation albums. But ║ │
│║ for Edguy an exception can be made for some very ║ │
│║ good reasons. First, on a very personal note, ║ │
│║ Edguy was the single most influential metal band ║ │
│║ to bring me back to heavy metal, after suffering ║ │
│║ ten years of grunge, nu-metal, and Garth Brooks ║ │
│║ in the Nineties. Also, there probably wouldn't ║ │
│║ be a Dangerdog Music Review site had it not for ║ │
│║ 2001's Mandrake and the subsequent Burning Down ║ │
│║ The Opera live album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But on the band's side of things, Monuments ║ │
│║ celebrates Edguy's 25 years in the heavy metal ║ │
│║ business, and they're doing it in style. The ║ │
│║ CD/DVD package includes 22 of their best songs, ║ │
│║ five new songs, and one old unreleased song from ║ │
│║ the Savage Poetry recording session, Reborn In ║ │
│║ The Waste. Also included on the DVD is the ║ │
│║ complete 2004 Hellfire Club concert film from ║ │
│║ Sao Paulo, and all their promotional music ║ │
│║ video. If you order the special limited edition ║ │
│║ the package also comes with book featuring a ║ │
│║ history of the band. I know all that sounds like ║ │
│║ a commercial, but it's also a fitting ║ │
│║ celebration of the band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ But what of the new songs, you ask. Solid Edguy, ║ │
│║ pure and simple: that mixture classic heavy ║ │
│║ metal with nuances of power metal and nods to ║ │
│║ melodic hard rock. Here's a taste of three. Open ║ │
│║ Sesame is a powerful racing metal tune, driven ║ │
│║ by fast riffs and thundering drums. Wrestle The ║ │
│║ Devil bristles with sharp riffs over a crisp ║ │
│║ rock groove. Landmarks is pure Edguy power ║ │
│║ metal, brisk and bristling from the start, with ║ │
│║ one of those Tobias Sammet soaring refrains. As ║ │
│║ for Reborn In Waste, it sounds like early Edguy. ║ │
│║ You know, reinterpreting classic NWoBHM for the ║ │
│║ next generation. Sammet's voice definitely ║ │
│║ sounds a bit younger. But you'll be more ║ │
│║ surprised by the presence of a keyboard solo, ║ │
│║ and ominous lack of a guitar solo. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Generally, most compilation albums are done for ║ │
│║ the fans, but they can be a good introduction to ║ │
│║ uninitiated as well. Monuments serves both ║ │
│║ groups well. Yet, of most importance, Monuments ║ │
│║ is a fine celebration of Edguy's 25 year career, ║ │
│║ one that I'm sure that's not ending anytime ║ │
│║ soon. Easily recommended. ║ │
