Yeah it's really emotionally involving album and the lyri...

Same here !

And here

How about adding a poll here to see some numbers

Easy as hell. Night on Bröcken I don't care that much about, Spectre Within is very very good but Awaken The Guardian could very well be my favourite HM album.

Maybe Destruction as well
