The Great Momentum is the ninth studio album by Austrian symphonic metal band Edenbridge. It was released on 17 February 2017 on the SPV label. Bassist Wolfgang Rothbauer left Edenbridge in 2016, so Lanvall performed the bass in the recording of this album. Drummer Max Pointner had also quit in 2016, being replaced by new drummer Johannes Jungreithmeier.

The Great Momentum received mixed professional reviews. While the Sonic Seducer was very positive about the production of the album, the musical diversity and drummer Jungreithmeier's debut, the Italian edition of Metal Hammer called the album "almost disappointing". The reviewer wrote that it was far away from the class of previous releases like The Bonding. According to the Soundscape magazine, there was "not a lot of variety within the songs" and the album did not contain any new ideas.

The Great Momentum reached position 82 of the German album charts being the band's second album to chart in Germany.

All tracks written by Lanvall. Tracks 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 also written by Sabine Edelsbacher.

The album also contains a bonus disc featuring the instrumental versions of all tracks.
