I once heard Avantasia's "The Metal Opera" and was disgusted and overwhelmed by bad
feelings about it. It was really cheap metal used for those who wants not so much from
music.But I do want a lot and I think I found it in "A Night at the Opera". Almost like Symphony X, but still different. But you not, this "fantasy" style of prog metal is always similar one to another, so we should overlook these coincidences. Same case as with jazz, same background, but these little things that makes it special are important. I really feel like in Opera, atmosphere is furious and you really feel that you're part of this play. The problem is that I'm not sure if it's for everyone. This is nothing calm, you'll not be allowed to rest for a second and taking pauses, or the worse, leaving during this would be not polite. And is this music polite after all ? Well, it's offering a lot for your senses. 5(-), offering a lot, demanding not so much, melodic and done in true metal style (metal equivalent of prog rock), one of their best albums, what else should I ask for.
