5.0 out of 5 stars Actually very surpirsed by it., March 16, 2003

I first discovered this band while searching for things associated with the 1986 movie, Labyrinth starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. It was in one of these searches that I came upon one of Labyrinth's songs. I believe it was "I Feel You". After I heard that song, I went on a massive search for them. I was dissappointed to find that they are not very popular in the music world. Well, I bought three of their cds and listened to each one. By far this one would have to be my favorite. Unlike their other cd, Return to Heavan Denied, this one was more mature and made upon experience. I had never before listened to a cd that was like this one too. It told a story about a king who falls in love and it's after effects. Sort of like listening to the old folk songs and following along, except in a more heavy metal tone. Personally, I'd recommend this to people who like heavy metal, but aren't really that experienced with it.

Another great album by Labyrinth.Yeah this album has it's bad songs on it but the rest of the song's make up for it.The awesome song Chapter 1 starts the album off and then Kathryn which rules,then Sons Of Thunder then Elegy then Behind The Mask which is not a good song,it's a boring song then Touch The Rainbow which is an okay song then the very original Rage Of The King that has the best solo's in that song then the fast Save Me then the all piano song Love with Rob Tyrant's voice being so amazing in that song then you have the song I Feel You which isn't by Labyrinth and that song sucks.The solo's in this album are amazing by Olaf Thorsen and Anders Rain,which if you know Labyrinth you know that they are hard core shredders.This album is one big story.Oh,and by the way Hammerfall,Iced Earth and Blind Guardian are not powermetal.

I have to knock a star off the horrid production on here, otherwise could have been a brilliant album. The Labs brought in well known American producer Neil Kernon to handle the production, Olaf was not satisfied with the sound or mix. He went in to try and "fix it", and the whole project ended up a mangled mess. What worked on their previous LP & EP, you have to ask yourself, if it's not broke, why fix it? As usual, great song ideas abound with a flair for the epic, and a nice little concept running, I just can't get past the production. The thin guitar riff sound, the trebly leads, the mewly sounding keybroads, boxy and flat drum sound, even Rob sounds way off in the mix. Olaf ended up quitting to concentrate on Vision Divine. This album could've been a monster. I do like every track on here, except for the last two. Sons Of Thunder did find them start leaning toward more progressive terrain.
