Shine is the fourth studio album by the symphonic metal band Edenbridge. Produced by Dennis Ward, it features 12 tracks that have been compared to the style of Edguy, Stratovarius and Masterplan.
The German edition of Metal Hammer awarded 5 out of 7 points but noted that singer Sabine Edelsbacher could not convey as much pathos as Amy Lee, Sharon den Adel or Tarja Turunen. She was instead found reminiscent of Candice Night when singing slower, medievally inspired tracks. The reviewer for Rock Hard wrote that Edenbridge had found a balance between romanticism and kitsch, but requested more uptempo tracks.
The Korean Version of the album features both bonus tracks and a live CD
