After the huge success of Edguy's leader with his side-project Avantasia, some Edguy fans feared that Edguy would suffer from the popularity of Avantasia or even that Edguy would just stop existing, at least for a while. But, for God's sake, Tobias Sammet is a very productive writer and with a stable line-up, Edguy released "Mandrake" in 2001. Successor of "Theater Of Salvation" , this album has been awaited by fans since 1999 and it was carrying a lot of hopes. But with this strange artwork , well, I was afraid to be unsatisfied by the music. How wrong was I!

This album is very good, better than I expected for sure, "The Pharaoh" and "Tears Of A Mandrake" are the best songs on here, but "Jerusalem", "Golden Dawn", and "All The Clowns" are also very good. It's a very memorable album indeed, with very catchy riffs and choruses. A real classic German power metal album, up there with the best imo.

The first seven songs are all top european power metal tunes. The three last ones are a bit underwhelming. Worth getting the version with the bonus tracks as both are pretty good.

A perfectly enjoyable power metal album. I would have loved this had I found about it back when it was new. At this day and age I have heard about million similar power metal albums already, so Mandrake doesn't have much to offer, for me at least. If I remember correctly, the reason I didn't pick up this even though I knew the band was the jester image that I found stupid, but turns out I was the fool all along.

A fantastic power metal album, in my top 20 for the genre. The first half is definitely stronger than the second though.

8.8/10 for me - 'Tears of a Mandrake' and 'Golden Dawn' are the standout tracks. 'Jerusalem' and 'All the Clowns' are both also fantastic.
