The longest winning streak.

Night at the Opera switched me off Blind Guardian, never really paid attention to what they released after that, but loved everything they did until then.

I'm not a fan of it myself either, but even for fans who do like it, surely Night at the Opera still represents a cliff drop in quality coming after Nightfall in Middle-earth..? The later stuff I don't find very exciting personally, grand for background music though.

I actually prefer it to Nightfall. Precious Jerusalem, Soulforged, And Then There was Silence are probably some of my favourite stuff they've done, the drop for me came with A Twist in the Myth

Have you gave The God Machine a listen? More guitar based, tones down the symphonic elements, and in general it's a lot more like their 90s stuff

I don't think anyone's mentioned Clutch yet. They've released some classics over the years. They're not all as high quality as the likes of Blast Tyrant so that maybe throws off the winning streak.

I'll throw NatO on again later for another chance, but my memory of it, in total contrast to Nightfall, is of an extremely uneven hotch-potch of tunes that don't really work that well together.

I've listened to all their albums at least a couple of times each (some many times more, natch), but the later stuff mainly slipped into the background: inoffensive, grand. Will try give The God Machine a proper listen though, cheers

Someone must have called Crypt Sermon over these eight pages? Everything up to and including the new ep is gold for me ( what about the job they did on De Mysteriis, fuck me, outstanding ) , I recall a few naysayers over last year's album , The Scrying Orb in particular rubbed some folk up the wrong way but for me they're a phenomenal band on a phenomenal run, three albums and an ep of the finest Trad Doom you're likely to hear this side of Solitude Aeternus or Candlemass.
