Does "End of the Age" not remind anyone else of a Blind Guardian song? Which one do you have in mind?

I got it and oh boy is it ever amazing. I'm also calling album of the year for me. I need to go listen to it again now. Also, doesn anyone remember in one of the videos when Wisdom was recording vocals it had him looking like he was building up to something and some text scrolled on screen and said something like that and then he did a really short growl to kinda punctuate the vocals. Does anyone know if that made it into a song? Chris You can find it in the song 'Self-Existent'

Does "End of the Age" not remind anyone else of a Blind Guardian song? Which one do you have in mind? Any Blind Guardian song! Who knows how many freakin' layers they use to get those epic choral sounds? For example, in the Blind Guardian song "And Then, There Was Silence," there's the "Never give up! Never give in!" part...see what I'm saying?

If you are speaking of Wisdom in the Web-sodes singing... One there was a text like on the screen the said...."Solid Dorkness"...Instead of darkness for the song "Ransom.... And on the same web-sode Jason was sing"I watched him Die...I watched him Die".....And there was a build up a pause in the song...."Self Existent"..And text on the websode said something like "There must be leading to something big"...Then Jason....Didn't nail the next line....Then Jason promply didn't hit the next Vocal....So the text read..MAybe Not...I am missing a text in there...Something about playing a air nu-guitar maybe don't remember...?? Yeah. That bit. I got it and oh boy is it ever amazing. I'm also calling album of the year for me. I need to go listen to it again now. Also, doesn anyone remember in one of the videos when Wisdom was recording vocals it had him looking like he was building up to something and some text scrolled on screen and said something like that and then he did a really short growl to kinda punctuate the vocals. Does anyone know if that made it into a song? Chris You can find it in the song 'Self-Existent' Thanks. I hear it now. And that little part makes me happy. There is so much stuff to take in. Chris

Self Existent and Ransom are my two favorite songs right now.

I love the album a ton! Some minor complaints would be the length of the album, there is no long epic song, there could have been parts that could have gone on longer like the end of Mountain Of Souls etc.

Another note:
For all you Extol fans out there, don't you think the riff at 1:31 in Evil Unseen has a lot of similarity with the riff at 1:11 from Renhetens Elv?

So yea, amazing album. I still think I prefer TPOF on an instrumental level, but this album is more complete all around. It's signature BTA epic, and it's HEAVY. My only complaint might be it runs a little short, but that's just because it's so awesome.
