2nd Review of ***** The Blessed and The Damned by Iced Earth – The Definitive Collection of Their Work


I am a huge fan of Iced Earth.  Surprisingly, 4 discs of their stuff has gotten me nearly endless hours of happy listening enjoyment .  The other 2 discs are Days of Purgatory.  In the following blog: “50 Great Metal Bands: Maybe Some Are More Deserving, But I Figure This Is a Good List,” I rated Iced Earth number 3.  Also on the following list for www.amazon.com, I rated this work, The Blessed and The Damned of Iced Earth number 3, “40 Great Metal Bands and an Awesome Album by Each.”
Metal has been a defining characteristic of my life and it really started before my time with the Baby Boomer generation’s band Black Sabbath, which has also been a favorite of my generation as well, and may continue to enthrall younger generation for years to come.  So, IMHO, it is probably a good idea to pick up one of the great musical works of our time because I do believe that some of the metal of our time will be remembered as Beethoven and other classical masters will be remembered.
