{"product_id":"blind-guardian-the-forgotten-tales-grey-vinyl-2lp","title":"Blind Guardian The Forgotten Tales (Grey Vinyl) [2LP]","description":"Additional personnel includes: Piet Sielck.\nKicking things off with two of the most bizarre metal cover selections imaginable (\"Mr. Sandman\" and a lightning-paced, double-kick version of \"Surfin' U.S.A.\"), Forgotten Tales is mixed bag of counter-intuitive tributes and mellowed-out retreads from the Blind Guardian catalog. It might be possible that this lightweight effort is more of a palette cleansing than the halfhearted recording that it appears to be upon first inspection -- considering that this experiment was released just before the incredibly ambitious Nightfall in Middle-Earth and A Night at the Opera. Speaking of Queen titles, \"Spread Your Wings\" is easily Forgotten Tales' shining moment. Not so surprisingly, the rock \u0026amp; roll treatment of \"Barbara Ann\/Long Tall Sally\" works much better than the metal-ized pop and rock covers mentioned above. The seven Blind Guardian remakes are consistently slow, earnest, and boring, so for those curious about the laid-back Blind Guardian, Forgotten Tales offers more than a little insight into the group's less serious side. Otherwise, there isn't much that will hold the interest of most prog\/speed metal fans. ~ Jason Anderson\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 4\/12\/2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blind Guardian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49092141482273,"sku":"QCD9H7-4DFB-IC","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/5099\/0625\/files\/blind-guardian-the-forgotten-tales-grey-vinyl-2lp_IOBR1.jpg?v=1740266930","url":"https:\/\/birds-nest-records.myshopify.com\/products\/blind-guardian-the-forgotten-tales-grey-vinyl-2lp","provider":"Bird's Nest Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
