The inventors of Hollywood metal have been very productive
lately since this is only a bridge between the last album "Dawn Of Victory"
and the new one which will be released in February next year if nothing goes
wrong. Fans of the band will not be surprised when I say that this is another
masterpiece of symphonic epic power metal done the way no-one else can. When
Luca Turilli is involved you can be sure that the final result is nothing else
than exceptional, something he has proven time and time again. The music of
this album is as pompous, ambitious and bombastic as ever before but I miss
the kind of extra spark that all the other albums have in the shape of the
last track of the album. The last track is great this time as well but it
doesn't have the same delicated edge as usual. Perhaps that is saved for the
forthcoming "real" album. This album is even more movie music sounding than
the previous releases which makes the music extremely majestic and almost
manages to lift your roof an inch or two. If you are not hyper-allergic to
anything with the slightest resemblance to power metal you should not miss
this release. Rhapsody is one of a kind and I can't wait to hear the new
album in February.
