Terra Atlantica - Age of Steam
80

To be honest, I still don't quite understand why this group has so few ratings on AOTY

It's pretty self-contained, unlike the rest of the symphonic metal bands, or at least the ones I've listened to

Yes, I haven't found any hits yet. Although 1 will be in the next album, I know that. But this does not negate the fact that albums are listened to in one breath and do not mix into mush. So far, so good

Terra Atlantica - A City Once Divine
75

I won't add anything to the playlist, but among other similar symphonic metal bands, Terra Atlantica has its own sound. So far, it's interesting.

Rhapsody of Fire - Power of the Dragonflame
70

Gargoyles, Angels of Darkness... 19 minutes...
Interesting

Rhapsody of Fire - Legendary Tales
75

I turned on the debut album, completely forgetting that it was a symphonic metal band. To say that I was surprised is to say nothing

I consider the prelude to the album not "IRA Tenax", but the beginning of "Warrior of Ice". There was power

Blind Guardian - Follow the Blind
60

After listening to it completely, all the tracks are mixed into some kind of homogeneous mass

But "Barbara Ann" is a fun off-top addition with Elvis' mood, and the melody of the track "Don't Break The Circle" is the only one I can remember

Perhaps Blind Guardian is the least like themselves here. But none of the tracks on the album were rewound, so it's still relatively enjoyable to listen to
