Tobias Sammet's Avantasia project proved two things. Number one, a metal opera could be done and very well done, number two it apparently sells well. Since then, metal operas have flourished throughout Europe like mushrooms. Even Arjen Lucassen's projects came back into fashion, especially Ayreon. On this not so positive note in terms of money matter, the famous German guitar player-producer-visionary Sascha Paeth decided to try. Actually, he was mandated by the label boss of Transmission Records and, well, knowing lots of musicians, Sascha was an obvious pick! The result? In fact, if I started by underlining my suspicions concerning the genuine approach to the making of this record, that's because it's probably the only "major" flaw I can pinpoint.

Positives: Glenn Hughes, more coherent story than The Metal Opera (Avantasia), Michael Kiske, 60+ mins, Sass Jordan sounds like Kimberly Goss, no one singer dominates the show, Glenn Hughes.
Negatives: The Beast Within, Marco Heitala is under used, the made-up language is over used.
Miscelanious: It's the only thin I've heard on which Andre Matos doesn't sound like a castrati.
