Yeah, I used to want to own this original, but after repeated listens I decided it's pretty lame - the melodies do nothing for me.

I have to admit that the A-side is soooo much stronger than the B-side. Somehow that intro that starts the B side completely destroys the magical feeling for me. But overall I'm glad I got a copy of this one.

Thanks Omen for sharing

Thank you very much!

I had already listened to most of this album's songs, but I can't still make up my mind whether the band plays wonderful and catchy melodic metal, or they are just wimpy.

Probably the fist choice!

The first choice. I've probably stated this a 100 times now but it still holds true: "Final Warning" is the greatest Melodic Metal album of all time. Period. Daniel needs to get back on his meds

I'm gonna back daniel, totally wimpy material on this one IMO.

Wimpy but good!

That's crazy-talk!

I really think this album is a textbook example of how Metal can be VERY melodic without feeling the least bit wimpy. There's absolutely zero (0) radio-DJ-cum-burps about their melodies - just pure melancholy gold.

Hehe. I'd say 'Heroes, Saints and Fools' is the greatest melodic metal one, well I can't think of many other candidates presently... ?

I can understand why not everyone likes it, but i think this is a classic, very catchy and with the right kind of atmosphere to it.

"Where are you" even sounds like a BEATLES-song, but i can still enjoy it. Weird!

Sorry Dan, you're just gonna have to accept that in this case I'm right and you're wrong

j/k To each his own!

At least we all agree 'Heros Saints and Fools' deserves high praise

I don't need to know anything about your sheep-fondling habits Dan! No record is so good or bad that it should invoke the molesting of livestock!
