Resurrection of an old thread :)

Anyone pick this up yet? I managed to grab it over the weekend and it kick's ass. I think it has a bit more feel than Avantasia.

The european release is in 2 weeks i think. It's been out in Japan for a little while.

I would certainly still categorise it as Metal. It has plenty of Power Metal type moments, but it does have a few softer moments(these are predominately sung by Kiske) that fit in quite well.

It's well worth a listen.
 
I didn't realise this was an old thread, and I was all set to post the exact same reply I did before until I read my post. Then I was confused.
