    Wasn’t apprehensive about listening to their other stuff, but imo none of Blind Guardian’s other songs come anywhere close to comparing to Wheel of Time, so starting with that one left me pretty disappointed with the rest of their work… which is shitty, cuz a lot of it is still really good, but just didn’t meet that insanely high standard set by Wheel of Time.

      That’s a great way of putting it, and I think usually the case in situations like this.

      Which therefore kinda suggests that the bigger and more amazing the song can actually be detrimental for the prospects of fanhood.
