^ 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.

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.

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?

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. Tongue
I rarely listen to them, but in the right mood, they do the trick. \,,/
