Rock & Metal World Edición English 87 | Page 11

Legendary Years is an album which introduces the younger members, it’s also a way in which Alex Staropolli (cofounder) celebrates Rhapsody of Fire’s 20th anniversary. One way or another, this album has become the talk to the town and has caused controversy, generating different opinions and critics, some of them well done and others, made of gossips and even pure hate. At the beginning, when they announced this compilation, I didn’t believe it was the best way to present the new line up, especially Giacomo. But I cannot deny I’ve been enjoying the album, it’s not the same feeling when I listened the songs for the first time, naturally on that time the circumstances, the sensations, the experience, even the technology were different. 11
