  Man, this album really puts my "Just say 'It's not for me'" policy to the test.

  European symphonic power metal is very much NOT MY THING. I don't like it, it does absolutely nothing for me, and I find it utterly ridiculous. A bunch of very serious looking guys doing lengthy song cycles about elves and wizards? NO THANK YOU, SIR.

  But hey—that's me. Is it any more ridiculous than a bunch of very serious looking dudes singing about the devil? Probably not. And I am grown-up enough at this point to admit that while it may not be to my taste, these guys write a good song and play it well. All of which is to say, if that's your bag (and there's nothing wrong with that), Soulbound is probably worth a listen.
