For whatever reason, that Blind Guardian album just never connected with me as much as Nightfall in Middle-Earth or A Night at the Opera. Nightfall in Middle-Earth has a darker edge, and A Night at the Opera is just so sonically lush, and every song is just an earworm (with the exception of the first song, although I dig the first half). If it were either of those two then it would be a lot harder to choose.

I've been so busy that the only thing I've had the energy to do when off work is get high. I have the day off, though, so I'll update this shortly.
