Stop accusing the band for reminding you of Metallica. If this is the case then all metal bands sound like Iron Maiden and all rock bands sound like Beatles!! Despite the fact that people accused the band for turning soft, seeking for more sales with this album, a fact remains that this is the favorite album of thousands of fans, including me. All songs, one by one, are great and if the last 7 minute song doesn't make your hair rise then ...I don't know what!! Buy the album for the following reasons: 1. A turning point for the band's music style 2. Great concept album (Spawn fans will know!) 3. Two ballad-songs that made 2000 or so fans in Rodon, Greece sing each single word out loud!!! The rest of the songs just made them scream!! 4. The best thing that the band could have done after their first three albums: "Iced Earth", the "Night of the Stormrider", and the "Burnt Offerings", which by the way even though they are just a bit better than the "Dark Saga" you cannot say which is the best of all!!
