CD ReviewsTheir finest. Vesperal Vanguard | 02/27/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the best album that Candlemass has ever produced. It doesn't have any classics such as "Ancient Dreams, At the Gallows End," or "Mirror Mirror" but there is so much power and emotion on this album. Messiah is at his best, the riffs are darker and heavier than ever and the production value is top notch. You still have the epic drums and crushing guitars accompanies by the piercing solos. Lyrically this is a great album as well. Overall this is the best this band has ever produced (in one man's opinion). The album flows well and is the only album where I can listen from start to finish and be equally amazed. I think the album "Ancient Dreams" is their second best so if you are a fan of any of Candlemass's earlier works, this will make a nice addition. Also, give their new album a few spins. It has a tendancy to grow on you." Sweet Swedish Metal! Simon Booth | 08/20/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Heavy guitar sounds and an operatic voice... Unique blend that mixes so perfectly!" Doom Metal classic Simon Booth | UK | 03/03/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Candlemass were probably the first metal band to out-doom Black Sabbath with their plodding riffs, spastic solos and deliciously operatic vocals. The Swedes seemed entirely earnest in their pursuit of the highest levels of metal cheese, and there is no doubt about their technical proficiency. Tales Of Creation is their concept album about... well, it's not entirely clear, but I like it! It doesn't really have any anthemic songs like Mirror, Mirror or At The Gallows End, but all the songs are good and the production is excellent. The 2001 remaster has finally made it to the US (5 years late, but at a much more affordable price than the import) and does the album credit, sounding as good as I remember it sounding on vinyl 17 years ago (if not better). I'm not nearly as much of a metal head as I was back in 1989, but I still enjoy metal done well - and this album is a fine example of that concept. Worth anybody's time, in my opinion!"
