Quick Review: Aina (The Metal Opera) - Days of Rising Doom
One word review: Imaginative

Favorite Songs: Rebellion, Silver Maiden, Flight of Torek, Serendipity

Revisiting this Metal Opera 7 years after its initial release has been a great pleasure. I have mostly listened to Rebellion since I reviewed the album, as that song was a personal favorite, but sitting down and listening to the whole album again, any hesitations I had, about it not enduring the test of time, were put to shame. I quickly rediscovered how enjoyable and surprisingly complex the music is. Glenn Hughes is still the standout vocalist, among many greats. Even if it falters slightly towards the end, this is an outstanding concept album, done right. If you missed it first time around, I recommend you to seek it out and if you're a complete Aina fanatic, be sure to read my interview with Amanda Somerville. I am still patiently awaiting the sequel.

Style: Far-reaching Symphonic Heavy Metal

Rating: 8/10
