Avantasia II

[JayKeeley]

Does anyone have it yet? How about a quick review?

My copy is on order, but I'm dying to hear the fan response before I start wasting away and downloading...

JK: Check the Sonata forum. There's a thread about it over there, since the Europeans got it first (naturally)

 

[JayKeeley]

I'm European and I didn't get it...*sniff*

Surprise surprise though - the SA forum discusses it before the PP forum! Damn!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

If it features twin guitars and vocals that remind you of having your balls in a vice, the SA forum is all over it

I have it on mp3, it rocks......As good as the first one IMO.....

The land of happiness that the SA forum is.... By the way, what's up with the In Flames board - it died a death on the thread links....

I went to the Tobias Sammet homepage, and they have a poll where everyone voted for "The Seven Angels" to be the greatest track on the CD... true?

*biting nails in anticipation for the most eagerly awaited album of 2002*

Boring!!!
It sounds just like the first one (he should have released a double CD). I definitely prefer Edguy.

But that's a good thing, right?!

7 Angels is a good tune, but I prefer Final Sacrifice (which was on the single of the first one...) as the most balls out rocking tune on the new disc. And whomever said it was boring, must be a PoS fan...... ; ) j/k

JW - who ALSO prefers Edguy to Avantasia

It sounds similar but is weaker IMO. I am not a big fan of Avantasia but I have to say the first one is way better than the new one.

 

[JayKeeley]

Maybe Avantasia II sounds like the "left overs" from Avantasia I perhaps? Mmmm.....the mind ponders.

Actually, I do not like PoS.

 

[Demonspell]

I'm a huge POS fan and I think Avantasia sucks.

 

[Tess]

And I really like it
It's very good...
I would describe it as sounding very...
familiar ...

 

[JayDubya]

I will admit the best tune on the new one (Final Sacrifice) was on the Avantasia single from the first cd. I really like the new one a lot. I ain't budging.......

Hey JW - did you download or buy the album? I'm just curious because the only site I found this album was on metaldisc.com.

Mine is still in the mail.
