Prog Metallers and Progsters united!!!
Finally also Italy was able to win the challenge with the foreign Metal Acts!!! Naturally in the mark of the Prog!!! (p.s.: Prog Metal... But it doesn't matter. ..!!!).
How in the better Italic tradition Power and Prog marry the Classic Music with love and devotion!!!
And for these reasons I love this album!!!

This is my favorite power-prog-album of all time! (maybe the only one I truly enjoy...) I love Wings of Destiny, Fabio Leone's voice is just amazing (I'd pick him if LaBrie ever dies... but then again, NO. DT IS Labrie and the other 4...)... Eternal Glory is also great. But my favorite song:
"For the king, for the land, for the mountains, for the green valleys where dragons fly, for the glory, the power, to win the black lord, I will search for the Emerald Sword."
That chorus may well be the most bombastic, glorious thing ever to come from the power metal world...maginificent.

The epic title track does it for me. Pompous, OTT, but wonderful.

My vote goes to Riding The Winds Of Eternity ... I really like the whole album, but this song really has an awesome melody.

Waaaay over the top.
I'll second Easy Livin though, the epic track is nice.

Great to see a topic related to Rhapsody / of Fire. I have had "Symphony " for some years now and I still count it as one of my favourite Power Metal (with classical prog overtones) albums. It is hard to choose the best track but in the end I have gone for "Emerald Sword". Over the top metal - yes - but great music to get into.

It's not my favorite Rhapsody album though ... I always preferred Dawn of Victory.

Symphony of the Enchanted Land 2 is better than this one IMO
