STUNNING, INSPIRED AND EMOTIONALLY STIRRING

"OK, here it is in a nutshell... I'm not a teenager, I've been a Metal fan for well over 20 years, I have over 1000 Metal albums, and 'Above The Weeping World' is my favorite of them all. All hyperbole aside, 'ATWW' is an absolute Metal masterpiece, period. If you think otherwise, you are either callow or you quite simply haven't REALLY listened to or given the album the time it richly deserves. To my ears, all things considered, 'ATWW' is the best Metal album ever recorded. End review.
P.S. - If you'd like to read my far more in depth review of 'Above The Weeping World' you can do so here.
P.P.S. - If I didn't know that 99.9% of the population hates this kind of music (growling vocals) I would have 'Last Statement' played at my funeral. Hell, I may do it anyway!"
