Blind Guardian: as good as all the reviews claim? Or pure cheese?

As SickBoy mentioned, Savage Circus is also a great band, much like the album that should've fallen between IFTOS and NIME of Blind Guardian. Piet Sielck (sp?), it should definitely be noted, is also in the band.

Piet Sielck is in Savage Circus, are you sure? Maybe he produced it, since Thomen collaborated as drummer in the first Iron Savior album where Piet plays.

Sielck produced the record and is also a member of SC, yes.

He doesn't sing on the album, isn't it? Sad because he got a good voice for that kind of music.

On the 2 songs I heard (on their website) Piet does all the backing vocals, just like in every band he has produced so far
