MyEarthDream

MyEarthDream is the sixth studio album by the Austrian symphonic metal band Edenbridge. It is the first album by the band that was recorded with an orchestra, namely the Czech Film Orchestra. The music focuses on b-flat-tuned 7-string guitars and is darker and heavier than the band's previous releases.

Reception

The German edition of Metal Hammer as well as the Sonic Seducer praised the quality of the production. The former noted the participation of Karl Groom and Mika Jussila while the latter magazine called the MyEarthDream the most intense album that had so far been released by Edenbridge. About.com's reviewer wrote of "well crafted songs and good musicianship" and observed that the band was best when they stayed within the symphonic metal genre without drifting too far into power metal.
