Edenbridge - MyEarthDream
Review by Cammie B.
Edenbridge's MyEarthDream is a captivating album that showcases the band's musical prowess and storytelling abilities. The album is a true masterpiece that takes listeners on a journey through a world of fantasy and imagination. The band's signature sound, consisting of symphonic elements, progressive metal, and soaring vocals, is ever-present throughout the album.
The album's opening track, "The Force Within," sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is a powerful and uplifting anthem that celebrates the power of the human spirit. The album's title track, "MyEarthDream," is an epic masterpiece that combines intricate guitar work, soaring vocals, and a symphonic orchestra to create a truly unforgettable experience.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Undying Devotion," a beautiful ballad that showcases Sabine Edelsbacher's stunning vocals, and "Whale Rider," an epic tale of a journey across the ocean. The album's closing track, "The Last of His Kind," is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the last remaining member of a dying species.

Summary by Cammie B.
Comments
The band's 2008 album MyEarthDream finds them employing A#-tuned seven-string guitars, resulting in graver riffs and a possibly more "modern" sound: however, the album doesn't hold up as their previous ones, as some of the tracks rely on mere Metalcore breadowns ("Undying Devotion", "Fallen from Grace") or simpler riffs ("Shadowplay", "Undying Devotion"). "Adamantine" becomes salvageable only during its second half, "Place of Higher Power" is a shaky and irreverent combination of cerebral grooves, upbeat mid-tempos and slurring leads, and the final suite, the title track, features only an interesting guitar solo and lots of pseudo-epic pomp that doesn't impress anyone. A misstep.Highlights: "Adamantine", "Whale Rider", "Place of Higher Power".
