I'm sorry if this offends anyone hear, but I'm about halfway through Ghost Opera (on "Mourning Star"), and I'm not impressed by it. I think it's bland power metal, right next to Stratovarius' Elements, Pt. 1. It might take a few listens to get comfortable with me, but the only slightly enjoyable song was "Ghost Opera." Bands like Iced Earth and Symphony X didn't come off like this, and DragonForce kinda did, so maybe it's just that I don't like some flavors of power metal.
