	Transcending the Mundane: Review of 'A Night at the Opera' by Blind Guardian
		Blind Guardian’s A Night at the Opera is probably the most ambitious, theatrical, grandiose metal album ever recorded.
		A Night at the Opera, Blind Guardian’s 7th all original album, is their most adventurous album to date.
		Blind Guardian has been honing their fantasy metal sound since their 1988 debut album Battalions of Fear.

	Metal Reviews - Metal Coven Webzine - Metal Reviews - Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera
		But Blind Guardian takes the wiser route and continues their evolution and exploration in different directions, creating an album that is no sequel to "Nightfall in Middle Earth," but is no worse either.
		There was no way Blind Guardian could have created another album in the same style as 1998's "Nightfall in Middle Earth" without being highly disappointing.
		Many bands in the past have released an album that is the apex of their career, and then spent the rest of their existence trying to match it.

	eSpudd: Blind Guardian Review
		If there were ever a champion for power metal, it would have to be Blind Guardian, and it's with their newest spear head A Night at the Opera, that they finally slay the dragon of misconception.
		A Night at the Opera is a great album.
		What I will say is that Blind Guardian have once again moved power metal further into the mainstream while staying true the genres roots and background.

	I-Mockery.com Music Reviews
		A lot of metal bands have strange album art, and Blind Guardian are no different.
		Although not everybody's cup of tea, I personally think that this album is one of the best I've heard in a long time.
		Review: Blind Guardian are a surprisingly good German metal band.

	.: Metal Storm - Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera - review
		Blind Guardian is great there, as in any other album.
		However, being a loyal Blind Guardian fan, I just listened to the album whenever I could, and after about the third time around, things started to take shape, melodies and guitar work began to crystallize, and the album began to reveal its beauty.
		Blind Guardian spent a lot of time recording this and it was definitely worth the wait.

	Amazon.com: Battalions of Fear [IMPORT]: Music
		Blind Guardian may have gone on to become the dominant force in power metal, but you'd hardly know it from their 1987 debut album.
		I love the way that blind guardian put out there first albun the guitar solos r alot like iron maiden's their fast amazing and full of tallent.
		If you're new to Blind Guardian and are looking for a good starting point, skip this one and go straight to Imaginations from the Other Side.

	SnakeNet Metal Radio - Home of the Metal Nation!
		A Night at the Opera is not what I would call a bad album, but compared to the class of the band, it is disappointing.
		Through the wish of being much more than just a metal band the guys in Blind Guardian take a step closer to losing the meaning of themselves as a band whatsoever.
		Blind Guardian are not lost for the world of metal, but they are exploring the limits of the realm.

	New Reviews [Gothic/Ambient]
		On the new album "A Night at the Opera", Blind Guardian are very symphonic, fast and powerful, but have less distinctive songs.
		If you are at the start of your journey into Blind Guardian, "A Night at the Opera" may appear to you as definition of Best of Euro Metal 2002, bursting out quality and confidence, while "Tales from the Twilight World" would be too guitaric and basic.
		Be it so, but my rating for "A Night at the Opera" is 3 3/4 and the answer is no.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - BLIND GUARDIAN - A Night At The Opera
		"A Night At The Opera" for sure has been one of the most eagerly anticipated albums of the year 2002, almost four years after the release of their last album "Nightfall In Middle-Earth" and BLIND GUARDIAN are amongst the most acclaimed Metal-bands worldwide by now.
		Get "A Night At The Opera" and give it a little time, because just like good wine this album sets free its class only with time and thanks to the many layers you will still discover new details and parts after the tenth listen, just like it should be!
		To describe BLIND GUARDIAN as "progressive" is not completely out of question.

	Untitled Document
		I am a Blind Guardian's fan almost since their beginning and I considered Imaginations From The Other Side and Tales From The Twilight World as their best albums...
		I warned you with the single And Then There Was Silence, Blind Guardian is unpredictable and believe me this song has nothing to do with the full album, absolutely nothing.
		is their best ever effort as A Night At The Opera will stay in the history of metal forever.

	Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera - Review @ MetalHordes.com
		But the difference in style like in any Blind Guardian album is surely one to listen to more than once.
		But once you got a few listens in you really discover the true beauty wich is A Night At The Opera.
		So I started listening to this album and at first I thought, wow they changed a lot.

	KNAC.COM - Reviews - Blind Guardian A Night At The Opera
		And if the opera ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings, Blind Guardian wheel out an Oprah-sized closer in “And Then There Was Silence.” The labrynthian, 14-minute opus -- which, incredibly, was released as the album’s first single -- took four months to record and sounds like every second of studio time was used.
		Germany’s Blind Guardian jumped on the epic speed metal bandwagon just before it was driven off a cliff by the early ‘90s grunge invasion.
		Blind Guardian don’t so much record an album as construct one.

	Encyclopaedia Metallum - Reviews for Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera
		Blind Guardian's albums up through 'The Forgotten Tales' were straight up, face-ripping power metal, with speedy guitar riffs underneath Hansi's amazing vocal power.
		Blind Guardian has time and time again proven themselves to be amongst the greatest medieval power metal bands of all time (if not the best).
		Blind Guardian delivered Speed/Power Metal during the early years, but in time the music has become more polished and symfonic and at the same time it have reached new and unexplored widths.

	The Metal Crypt - Reviews
		Blind Guardian is one of those bands that after listening to one of their albums you feel out of breath and simply spent.
		To say that the new Blind Guardian album is one of the highly anticipated albums of the year would be an understatement.
		After the incredible release of their last album "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" I was wondering how they were going to top themselves and the answer was received loud and clear with "A Night at the Opera".

	METALKINGS.COM - GIG REPORTS - BLIND GUARDIAN
		As to the controversial new album "A Night At The Opera", it was represented by just three tracks, which was quite surprising (I would have chosen three different tracks off that one), but worked just fine, for the new songs were unknown to a considerable share of the crowd.
		I personally was looking forward to see Blind Guardian as well, even though their latest album did not seem convincing to me and though I was extremely concerned over the acoustics of the hall.
		The Blind Guardian music is very demanding, and to be honest, the skills in playing the bass that I could provide the band with are not good enough right now, so I would have to spend a lot of time rehearsing bass properly and I doubt that I will find the time.

		The album was recorded on the band's A Night At The Opera tour.

		If you are a fan of heavy metal, this is the essential purchase; A Night at the Opera is a grandiose, powerful, and moving heavy metal album that should already be considered a classic.
		The heavy metal minstrels return with a glorious new album that should further solidify their place not only at the top of the power metal genre, but also make Blind Guardian one of the most important modern heavy metal bands.
		Lyrically, A Night at the Opera is a combination of tales that deal with variety of topics.

		And now I've renamed the album & night at the opera" of "Blind Guardian" to "Night of the opera" to prevent merging it with "Queen", but I think this isn't a good solution.
		Now I see that it has been added to the album "Night at the opera" by the artist "Queen".
		Isn't it possible to implement an option in future versions which prevent the merging of tracks which are located in diffent folders on the harddisk.

	Review On A Night At The Opera - Blind Guardian by esgallindeion -- MouthShut.com
		After a long gap of about four years, Blind Guardian have made a brilliant comeback with their new album & Night at the Opera’.
		I don’t think I have ever heard Blind Guardian or any other band for that matter play something like this.
		Once again they have broken all borders and taken their music took to a new level with the orchestrations as the major point to notice resulting in 10 songs swimming with orchestrations and numerous choirs.

	Hard Rock & Metal - Night at the Opera - Blind Guardian free mp3 full albums download
		This album is the Japanese version of the long-awaited "A Night at The Opera" (ANATO) from Blind Guardian.
		Additionally, that title "A Night at The Opera" makes your expectations rise to the heaven, and you will find yourself quickly landing (or crashing!) after immediately discovering that this ANATO from Blind Guardian has nothing to do with the ANATO from Queen -which was in fact an instant classic.
		I guess that old die-hard fans of Blind Guardian will love this CD because of its aggressiveness, its intensive work on choirs and its speedy-power-metal sound, but those longing for more diversity and finer music will be certainly disappointed?-in spite of the masterfuly crafted arrangements and compositions.

	Blind Guardian - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		German epic-metallers Blind Guardian had a couple of speed/power metal albums out before releasing what the band and fans consider the first of their "epic metal" albums.
		Nevertheless, Blind Guardian are a band that is in total command of melody, and my complaint seems trivial when weighted against the album's often-excellent songwriting.
		Blind Guardian asks, "Why stop at two guitars in a harmony?" The result is a Queen-style, epic sound, laced with atmospheric keyboards, as well as some nice acoustic sounds.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
		In this track specifically, you see that this Blind Guardian is energized and that they have added to their musical palette.
		But still this retains the complicated arrangements that Blind Guardian are known for.
		"Battlefield" has that end of the play (or opera) kind of feel - the final battle has ensued and there are no victors.
