Overview Edit

Imaginations From the Other Side is an album by Blind Guardian that was released in 1995. The atmosphere of this album is darker in comparison to their earlier works, such as Battalions of Fear, which had a relatively happy tone. This album also marks the first since their debut in which Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray) did not guest on vocals or guitar, and the last album to feature vocalist-bassist Hansi Kürsch as bassist. It is also their first album which resulted in the release of singles, "A Past and Future Secret" and "Bright Eyes". It was remastered and re-released on 15 June 2007, with bonus tracks and videos. The songs "Imaginations From the Other Side", "Bright Eyes", and "And the Story Ends" form a thematic arc.

Needless to say I shoulda done that a lot sooner. As I anticipated, this album is way over the top, but in a good way, and is a helluva lotta fun to listen to…

Blind Guardian are a much-loved band in power metal circles. Anyone who had the guts to play this sort of metal since the beginning of the 90's and has not wavered deserves my respect.

To be truthful, I own only the 3 domestically available BG albums, this one being the next-to-last in their oeuvre. The best thing about BG is their tremendous vocalist and the vocal arrangements, bombastically operatic in nature. When they work, they send shivers down my spine. My main criticism about their appro…
