I like this album. Lots of excellently reworked songs with quality ideas.

중세풍의 묵직한 헤비메틀을 들려주는 블라인드 가디언의 가벼운 외출 느낌의 앨범이다. 커버곡과 어쿠스틱 버전의 곡들이 주로 수록되어 있는데 블라인드 가디언의 힘을 뺀 이색적인 면모를 즐길 수 있다. 디스코그래피에서 큰 의미가 있는 작품은 아니지만 밴드의 다른 모습을 즐긴다는 측면에서 접근하면 무리가 없을 것 같다.

메탈이라고 하기 힘든 곡들 다수. 아는 곡이 많으면 재밌게 들을 수는 있겠지만, 이 앨범에 별다른 음악적 가치는 없다고 생각함. 게다가 리메이크 곡 나오다가, 자신들의 곡 오케스트라 버전 나왔다가, 뜬금없이 라이브가 나오는 등 앨범에 일관성 없음. 개인적으로는 'Spread Your Wings' 한곡 들을만함.

편집음반인데 어쿠스틱 버전의 곡들이 정말 멋지다. Bright eyes, mordred's song 은 원곡보다 훨씬 좋게 들었다.
