5.0 out of 5 stars Rage 2000, November 28, 1999

Wow! Talking about inteligent power metal cd. Here is an album that continues the next step to the power melodic songs from XIII. All songs are great from the slow opener The Beginning of The End to fast song like Love and Fear Unite. This album features orchestral elements in all songs making each one of them a beautiful tune to remember the rest of your life. If you liked XIII then you'll definitely like this one even better. Bonus track includes End of Eternity, a speed melodic song that is worth listening. Other highlites are: well, they all are! but listen to Back in Time, Fear, Ghosts, End of Eternity, Love and Fear Unite and Wash My Sins Away.

"Ghosts" is the 13th studio album by German heavy/power metal band "Rage" ,originally released in 1999. Having first blended their brand of metal with the sounds of classic orchestra in 1995, "Ghosts" is the second all-original symphonic metal album in the group's catalogue. In addition "Ghosts" was the first album to feature perhaps the most appraised line up of the band; Founder bassist/vocalist Peavey Wagner is joined by virtuoso guitarist Victor Smolski and well travelled drum innovator Mike Terrana.

In retrospect, one comes to realize that "Ghosts" indeed stands the test of time: The song-writing is built on memorable melodies and large harmonic choruses while the contribution of the "Lingua mortis orchestra" is nothing less than substantial. The orchestra for that matter carries core melodies on each song adding its own flavour to the compositions rather than simply complementing the electric instruments. One has to also take intro account that the production qualities of the album are of very high standards. No instrument sounds thin while the group has somehow managed to maintain all the various musical elements to the foreground.

Songs like "Wash my sins away", "Back in time", "Love and fear unite" as well as the title track will draw the listener time and time again to this release. In fact, each time one plays the album, one discovers something new whether that is a melody, an improvisation or an underlying backing vocal. Overall, "Ghosts" would be the first in a series of groundbreaking albums that team Wagner-Smolski-Terrana would come to release therefore essential in establishing "Rage" as a major player in metal for the new millennium.
