▒░▓▓▓░░ Description: ░░▓▓▓░▒
▒ 9▓a▓▓ ▓▓a▓9 ▒
* ░ ▒▓░█ Before I begin spilling my seed over how much I love █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ this album, I think itÆs appropriate to justify a █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ rating of 100%. Technically speaking, 100% would seem █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ to imply absolutely nothing is wrong with whatever is █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ being reviewed; however, I believe imperfect beings █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ cannot create perfection. I use the percentage rating █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ (perhaps incorrectly) to emphasize what portion of the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ album is considered high quality: gripping: memorable █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ or any other adjective that fits the situation. Of █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ course, quality is in the eye of the beholder, but all █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ reviews are based on opinion anyway. Strangely enough, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ an album might be ranked higher than an offering that █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ is actually preferred; it all depends. Is Nightfall in █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Middle Earth the greatest album ever made? I donÆt have █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ an answer to that question. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ When I first listened to this beautiful beast, my █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ tastes centered almost exclusively around aggressive █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ thrash metal. Despite that fact, I pushed aside every █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ other album in my collection and listened to Nightfall █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ in Middle Earth exclusively for the next few weeks. Not █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ once, did this album grow tiresomeànever did I skip a █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ single track. Blind Guardian taught me a lesson in █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ musical, emotional variety. No longer did metal require █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ brutality to hold my attention. Such a compelling album █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ almost single-handedly served as a gateway that █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ expanded my tastes further into the annals of heavy █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ metal variety. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Now, onto the heart of the musicà █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Blind Guardian truly created a masterpiece of melting █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ pot genres. At times, the album is laced with █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ high-octane speed: pounding double bass and rapid, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ alternate picking. Without warning, Guardian switches █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ to appropriate pompousness: soaring, operatic vocals █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ and memorable melodies. Nightfall in Middle Earth █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ combines speed and power metal, folk music, choir and █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ classical. The songs flawlessly change tempos and █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ symphonic elements mix with aggression. Each track █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ leaves the listener at a lost to guess whatÆs next. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Technically can often be a slippery slope, leading too █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ excessive, instrumental masturbation. Blind Guardian █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ does not fall into that trap on this album. Instead, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ the bandÆs instrumental prowess enriches the music, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ rather than bogging it down with narcissism. Marcus █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Siepen handles the role of rhythm guitarist with █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ beautiful precision. The riffs alone are more █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ technically apt than a great number of solos performed █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ by other artists, yet never create an aura of boredom █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ (unlike Dragonforce). AndrΘ OlbrichÆs agility with the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ six-string is nothing less than astonishing. His █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ flawless leads cover every aspect that makes a metal █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ guitarist great: eloquence: melodic creativity and █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ restrained virtuosity. Thomas Stauch is one of metalÆs █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ finest drummers, with masterful double bass and █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ tasteful fills. The bandÆs leader, Hansi Kⁿrsch, is a █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ unique vocalist, able to capture the essence of both █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ primal aggression and smooth serenity. A cast of █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ talented guest musicians provides bass, keyboards and █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ additional backing vocals. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ ôThe Curse of Feanorö is the perfect example of █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ GuardianÆs ability to create unique song structures. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ The track begins with unbridled rage, highlighting the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ bandÆs speed metal origin. Over the course of nearly █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ six minutes, the epic tune offers multi-layered █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ harmonies; numerous solos and vocals that drip with a █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ musical passion few bands are able to emulate. ôTime █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)ö is also an █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ idiosyncratic contribution, with a bridge between verse █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ and chorus that conjurers images of Elves playing █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ flutes and dancing in the forest. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ It is very difficult to name any standout tracks on the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ album, for each song has its own accolades and general █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ feeling. ôNightfallö takes the listener on a journey █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ through human loss and perseverance, compliments of a █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ sing-along chorus that pays tribute to inspiring bards. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ ôMirror, Mirrorö is a quick-tempo symphony of galloping █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ ôC Majorö notes, tearful refrains and one of metalÆs █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ finest, multi-faceted solos. All aspects of heavy █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ metal; rather music in general, are covered in this █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ magnum opus. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Lyrically speaking, the album is based on TolkienÆs █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ ôThe Silmarillion.ö Anytime a band tackles a concept █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ throughout the entire album; a certain amount of █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ emphasis must be placed on the fluidity of the lyrics. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Blind Guardian rose to the task. Each sentence █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ delivered by HansiÆs unmistakable voice accents the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ bandÆs meaningful interpretation of the authorÆs █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ original work. Truthfully, even with sub-par lyrics, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ the music would speak for itself. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ Are there any flaws to this album? Production wise, the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ drums could have been mixed a tad better; however, a █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ reduction in the overall rating is not warranted, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ because none of the musicÆs power is lost. The frequent █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ interludes serve to aid the storytelling of the songs, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ but really donÆt offer anything to the overall █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ experience. ôWar of Wrathö is the exception to the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ rule, simply because it builds anticipation for the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ opener, ôInto the Storm.ö Otherwise, the interludes █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ neither add, nor take away from the feeling of the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ album. █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ To summarize, Nightfall in Middle Earth is an album for █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ fans of the avant garde. The staggering, properly █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ heterogeneous variety in musical style leaves the █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ listener wanting for more, while simultaneously █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ providing a feeling of closure. For those who do not █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ like heavy metal saturated with external influences, █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ this album may not prove satisfactory. I; however, am █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ enthralled every time I hear this offering of Blind █░▓▒ ░ *
* ░ ▒▓░█ GuardianÆs majesty. █░▓▒ ░ *
