Blind Guardian Albums Ranked

[@metalheadindian9174]

"Somewhere far beyond" and "Nightfall in Middle Earth" are two of the absolute best albums ever made. Blind guardian is my fav Power Metal band along with Rhapsody of fire

[@griefforest1870]

Cool list! Here's mine 1. Imaginations from the other side 2. Nightfall in middle-earth 3. Somewhere Far beyond 4. Tales from the twilight world 5. At the edge of time 6. Beyond the red mirror 7. Follow the blind 8. Batallions of Fear 9. A twist in the myth 10. A night at the opera I don't dislike any of them, but the last two didn't really do it for me, although they have a handful of amazing songs.

[@anthonyrosa8401]

Absolutely no bad thing to say about this band.

[@Pr0t3ct0rHimself]

In my opinion Beyond the red Mirror and A night at the opera most underrated albums, they have so much symphonic potencial

[@juanjosegutierrezmerchan2669]

"Nightfall In Middle Earth" MASTERPIECE

[@plapoytasplapi1013]

1. Imaginations 2. Nightfall 3. Somewhere far beyond Bonus: The Forgotten Tales (love those remakes) 🙏❤️

[@mr11maiden43]

What a great band just got into them and Somewhere far Beyond is my favourite so far

[@Top10-k1g5o]

1) Imagination from the other side 1000000000/10 2) Somewhere far beyond 10/10 3) Nightfall in middle earth 10/10 4) At the edge of time 10/10 5) A night at the opera 9.5/10 6) Tales from the twilight world 9/10 7) Beyond the red mirror 8/10 8) Twist in the myth 7.5/10 9) Follow the blind 7/10 10) Battalions of fear 7/10 11) The God machine 6/10

[@panoskarliotis382]

and my favorite BG album is A Twist In The Myth, an album that got so much hate by some...and my second favorite is A Night At The Opera, another album that got hate...but I ADORE both of these albums!!!!!!

[@matttalksbeer1474]

my 7 year old son Luke, loves Blind Guardian! "Mirror and Mirror" and "Valhalla" are two of his favorite songs!

[@mariomunoz9473]

1- somwhere 2- imaginations 3- tales 4 Nightfall 5- at The Edge 6-follow 7 forgotten

[@juanjosegutierrezmerchan2669]

thanks to blind guardian I have read a lot of literature

[@christianrounds85]

1) Imaginations from the other side 2) At the Edge of Time 3) Nightfall 4) Somewhere Far Beyond 5) A Night at the Opera 6) Tales from the Twilight World 7) A Twist in the Myth 8) Follow the Blind 9) Beyond the Red Mirror 10) Battalions of Fear Imaginations is without a doubt a perfect album, not a single bad song on the list. I think At the Edge of Time is very close to perfect actually, even the demo versions of the songs are great to listen to, but I just couldn't get into War of the Thrones. It's a similar story with Nightfall, loved everything except the interludes and Into the Storm.

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

Into the storm?? That's a love at first sight type song!!

[@saiborg7175]

I am looking forward to a Best Power Metal Albums vid and I know BG albums are going to be a major contender

[@thenomad4123]

Love this list! Though I'd probably like any possible list, all the albums are pretty much likeable and quality does not differ much. Mine would be, for now anyway: 10 - Beyond the Red Mirror (only album I do not enjoy as much as others, still don't understand why probably the lyrics and production) 09 - Follow the Blind 08 - A Twist in the Myth 07 - Battalions of Fear 06 - Tales From the Twilight World 05 - At the Edge of Time 04 - A Night at the Opera 03 - Nightfall in Middle Earth 02 - Somewhere Far Beyond 01 - Imaginations From The Other Side (doubt my number 1 pick will change, so much sentimental value and nostalgia on top of awesomeness) Legacy of the Dark Lands seems interesting but not listened enough yet.

[@Vi7Z]

Dude you would have loved their live performance at Hellfest last Saturday, they basically played the whole Somewhere Far Beyond album for its 30th birthday! It is available on Arte's KZbin Channel

[@matttrer6150]

In conclusion: Blind Guardian does not write bad songs.

[@nisinduperera7130]

I've only listened to 2 albums but At the edge of time just blew me away It's a banger

[@grimbelfix2648]

Sacred Worlds got me into Blind Guardian unknowingly, it is the title theme for the RPG Sacred 2: Fallen Angel which i played when i was like 9 years old and i loved it, a few years later i began listening to BG purposefully and i found Sacred Worlds again and from then onwards "yeah this is your favourite band from now on until forever."

[@panoskarliotis382]

I would like to see an album ranking video about Stratovarius, if you haven't done it already :)

[@mindful2864]

Blind Guardian is my favorite power metal band and aside from Legacy of the Dark Lands, they have a flawless discography. Here would be my ranking: 11. Legacy of the Dark Lands 10. Battalions of Fear 9. Beyond the Red Mirror 8. Follow the Blind 7. Somewhere Far Beyond 6. At the Edge of Time 5. A Night at the Opera 4. A Twist in the Myth 3. Tales from the Twilight World 2. Nightfall in Middle-Earth 1. Imaginations from the Other Side

[@blackwaterrust476]

Agreed with your #1.

[@spritefroggy]

Hard list to make, but here it is. 1: Somewhere Far Beyond. Has an incredibly dark, forboding atmosphere with a light shining through that offers hope. Easily the most atmospheric of their albums. 2: Batallions of Fear. 3: Imaginations From the Other Side 4: Follow the Blind 5: Nightfall in Middle Earth. This is the album that got me into Blind Guardian, but I find it doesn't sit well for 'casual' listenings. 6: Tales From the Twilight World. 7: Beyond the Red Mirror 8: A Night at the Opera 9: A Twist in the Myth 10: At the Edge of Time

[@85vesti]

A Twist in the Myth is a bit underrated by many, it's by no means a bad album at all - just some average-ish songs weighing it down, but it has some real classics. Otherland is in my top 10 BG songs. Oh - and it's got the best of all their album covers!

[@sirspookybones1118]

Otherland is probably one of their best songs in the 2000s

[@thenomad4123]

Yeah its cover is one of the best.

[@eslwgpg1226]

A Twist In The Myth has “The New Order” on it which is my third favorite Blind Guardian song, so it deserves major points for that alone. Also “Another Stranger Me” was the song that got me into the band in the first place so definitely some sentimental value right there.

[@eslwgpg1226]

It's there new album I listened to and liked but I listened to songs off of albums u said but not full albums yet.

[@Alithia451]

Make a Top 10 BG songs video please.

[@metalanthology]

It's difficult to point a best band ever but when I have to, it's BG. Their discography has this wonderdul evolution filled with diversity while staying true to their sound. Yes, you can put any fucking song and, in 3 seconds, you'll know immediately which band is playing. They are unique and they just never made a boring album, every one of them is worth listening. Depending on the mood you are, there's a BG record for you. 1. Nightfall in Middle Earth 10/10 2. Imaginations From the Other Side10/10 3. A Night at the Opera 9.5/10 4. Somewhere Far Beyond 9.5/10 5. At the Edge of Time 9.5/10 6. Tales From the Twilight World 8.5/10 7. Beyond the Red Mirror 8/10 8. Follow the Blind 8/10 9. A Twist in the Myth 7.5/10 10. Battalions of Fear 7.5/10

Blind guardian ranking? I never clicked on a video so quickly

[@arsenalkristin]

There is an special edition of nightfall of ME without the interludes, you should check it out

[@Chris-qo4rt]

My favorite BG albums seems to be the ones everyone else hates, the first 2 + A Twist in the Myth. I'll throw in Imaginations there as well as the popular choice!

[@METALSCAVENGER78]

Millennial kids and newbies hipsters try to dismiss them as not sophisticated and progressive enough for their "superior" intellectual, so they are wired to hate the first 2.They can't feel the 1980s metal feeling enough and get their greatness.. Brainwashed tools if you ask me.The first and third are my favorites, afterwards the fourth,second, fifth.Of course, Blind Guardian were great from the start, from their demo days as Lucifer's Heritage.

Where would the new album go?

[@KingArthas]

Imaginations from the other side holds the No1 spot for me for personal reasons and Beyond the red mirror (which is the only BG album I haven't bought) goes to the bottom of my list! Awesome video Questy!!!

[@mysticsaxophone4181]

Imaginations From the Other Side is in my books the best power metal album in existence. Ranking them after that is actually pretty brutal but I would probably have the same top 3 as you, just a different order. Also, Beyond the Red Mirror has grown one me loads! I might prefer it over At the Edge of Time nowadays. Edge has stronger start and finish (Wheel of Time my fucking god) but Mirror has more going for it in between.

[@lui6link]

Sonata Arctica next

[@MovieMasterMike]

From best to worst: At the edge of time Imaginations from the other side Nightfall in middle-earth(without the interludes) Somewhere far beyond Beyond the red mirror A twist in the myth Tales from the twilight world Follow the blind A night at the opera Battalions of fear

[@joeyuzwa891]

Nightfall at number seven makes no sense

[@blackwaterrust476]

Makes sense for me, I still enjoy it though.

[@joshthefunkdoc]

Fun fact: Imaginations is the #1 rated power metal album of all time on rateyourmusic! Somewhere Far Beyond & Nightfall are also in the top 5 - feels like those are the common fan favorites anymore. Interestingly, Somewhere Far Beyond didn't get quite as much love back when i first discovered this band. i think The Bard's Song becoming so famous over the years (with all the KZbin reactions etc.) made people give it more of a look...

[@bjarild999]

Blind Guardian is a amazing band🔥 but I have Imaginations as no1 ...thst album and Hansis voice is just too good...

[@panoskarliotis382]

the albums after Nightfall In Middle-Earth have taken so much hate by a lot of people...these people probably are more pissed off because the albums after Nightfall In Middle-Earth didn't have lyrical themes related to Tolkien, Lord Of The Rings, goblins, Middle-Earth and other stuff like that...that probably might have pissed them off and not so much the fact that BG maybe became less of a "speed metal" band and more of a "progressive" "operatic" metal band...

[@bernabefernandeztouceda7315]

Nah, Imaginations is not Tokien oriented album and everybody loves it

[@RichardRG86]

My ranking: 1. A Night At the Opera 2. Imaginations From the Other Side 3. Nightfall in Middle Earth 4. Tales From the Twilight World 5. Somewhere Far Beyond 6. At the Edge of Time 7. Beyond the Red Mirror 8. Follow the Blind 9. The God Machine 10. A Twist in the Myth 11. Battalions of Fear 1/2 and 6/7 can alternate at any time, and I still need to listen to The God Machine more.

[@joshthefunkdoc]

Yes, someone else who has A Night at the Opera as their fav! Tough pick for me but i love how over-the-top it is and wouldn't skip any of the songs if listening to the whole thing.

Tales from the Twilight Hall (Welcome, Candle, Tommyknockers, Twilight Hall - The "Thrash" album by BG 8/10) 6. Follow The Blind (Valhalla, Title Track and Banish are brilliant, the rest is ok to good 7/10) 7. Beyond the Red Mirror (Ok album - no outstanding tracks and no stinkers 6,5/10) 8.A Night at the Opera (Light and shadow - Silence and Under the Ice are fantastic, rest is partially boring 6/10) 9. Battallions of Fear (Majesty and Guardian of the Blind great, the rest could use some rework 6/10) 10. A twist in the myth (Fly is terrible, Turn the page, Edge and Lionheart are ok, rest is just boring. Lacks either the bombast from opera or heaviness 4/10)
