	COMMENT \| How rediculous.... posted by : Dead of Winter 8/2/2004 5:54:20 PM

	What a silly cover. Dragon's don't even exist. Did these guy's parents not teach them anything? What's the next cover going to be? Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy? Jeeze.

	COMMENT \| ummm... posted by : Dead of Winter 8/2/2004 6:04:32 PM

	"Ridiculous" and "Dragons" for the spelling and grammar police. Actually, I am one of them. lol

	COMMENT \| I can't wait for the release posted by : TheBlackWizardsBTR 8/2/2004 6:07:24 PM

	This album seems like it's going to kick ass. If it's anything like their last album then it will blow me away. This is an epic, symphonic power metal band at it's finest. This seems liek a huge production with Christopher Lee and all of the guest musicians. I'm very excited for it's release. Regarding the cover art, I do think Rhapsody should maybe try to have cover art without a dragon every now and then, but the painting kicks ass and is very detailed. Rhapsody always have awesome album covers.

	Rhapsody is a guilty pleasure for more metalheads than will admit it. I for one am not embarrassed to say that I love this band. They are so damn good at what they do, it's easy to tolerate the cheese factor. I can't wait for the album.

	Fucking Disney metal ...

	I'll take Rhapsody over any of those pathetic satanic black metal bands who think they are so fucking dark and scary with there cliched blood n' guts bullshit. Yeah Rhapsody is cheesy as fuck but they can still out play you!

	COMMENT \| Nice posted by : SoulReaper 8/2/2004 8:07:38 PM

	Much better than the EP artwork ("Hey. look, we could afford Christopher Lee!"). I wish they started a whole new storyline, though. This "Part II" stuff doesn't impress me,, though the material sounds solid - I especially like the cover song on the EP, maybe because "Non ho sonno" is a better Goblin song than "Phenomena." Still, I think Luca's solo albums are better. Dude, I don't believe in guilty pleasures. We, as metal fans, spend too much time enjoying music that you're not "supposed to" enjoy to let social embarassment get in the way of the ones we do. Just enjoy it, and tell the naysayers to grow a sense of humor. I mean, anything is ridiculous if you look at it the right way.

	COMMENT \| They played this on the local metal station, 98.5 "The Bone"... posted by : epac 8/2/2004 8:55:40 PM

	I thought it was stupid...all symphonic, like a Disney musical. Occasionally, they threw in some crunching guitar or double-bass drums to remind you this is supposed to be metal, but it was all cheese. BRING ON THE NEW ARMORED SAINT - REAL METAL!!!!

	COMMENT \| Yeah posted by : Monos 8/2/2004 10:37:47 PM

	''the Dude'' is damn right and Rhapsody are a guilty pleasure for me too. Turilli is a killer guitarist.

	COMMENT \| posted by : Wanky McJerkoff 8/3/2004 12:40:54 AM

	fuck you, haters. rhapsody is the shiznit. listen to bloody rage of the titans, and suck luca turilli's guitar-shredding cock

	COMMENT \| posted by : molotov 8/3/2004 1:00:59 AM

	yawn. this band just straight up makes me yaaaaaaawn. MESHUGGAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	COMMENT \| That's ironic... posted by : the Dude (~\m/~) 8/3/2004 9:27:05 AM

	...a meshuggah fan claiming Rhapsody makes them yawn.

	COMMENT \| Dead of Winter posted by : JadedShock 8/3/2004 1:44:13 PM

	I'm not a huge Rhapsody fan or anything (they're kinda pretentious) but saying that dragons don't exist hence putting them on an album is stupid is absurd. Look at half the monster-type shit on extreme metal albums. They must be cooler because they use more blast beats or something.

	COMMENT \| rhapsody is the best! posted by : Donethur 8/23/2004 6:35:29 PM

	shut up fucking children, you dont know nothing about music! rhapsody is the best band ever!!!!
