^ I heard it long ago, but I haven't listened to it in years.
Less heavy than Vanden Plas, much more melodic. A bit more theatrical as well.

True, but some of the music is really excellent.

I didn't mean it negatively. It's definitely a good album.

So maybe you can explain to me why I think this is great... and Ayreon isn't?

Ayreon is same applied formula over and over and also the more it got applied, the worse and less interesting and less entertaining it got. Just my opinion. Because of that I can't stand anymore albums with multiple singers, a cast of them like Ayreon does. Edited by Cristi - September 25 2022 at 12:56 |

I never minded Avantasia... it is what it is, some of it is a bit samey, some of it is very good indeed... but I think I could apply your above opinion to this as well... it seemed to get less interesting with each album?

Fair enough.. I won't ask you for your thoughts on Edguy either, then..

Edguy was a second hand Helloween for me.

They sounded like Helloween only much worse (to me). I gave up on them rather quickly.

^ Seeing you gave them a listen made me do the same thing.
 I rarely listen to them, but in the right mood, they do the trick. \,,/
