(Rated this album with 10 out of 10) Reviewed by

I borrowed this CD from a co-worker and wasn't expecting anything like the brilliance that this album contains. The songs are very similar to NWOBHM songs as the previous reviewer pointed out, but this album is much better than most of the music put out during that period. The best songs are I Died for You, The Hunter, Dark Saga, and, one of the best songs ever, A Question of Heaven. The emotion shown in all of the songs is amazing. The middle songs aren't as strong as the others on the album, but they are still worth a listen. Iced Earth is one of the best metal bands to emerge in the 90's and are vastly underappreciated.
