I would say the current rating of 6.6 is pretty low for this album. It is quite solid epic conceptual "metal opera", reasonably long, and althoug not really outstanding and innovative, the job is done well. Something around 7.5 (compared to MS rating standards) would suit it much better. Now it looks kinda like a garbage, which is definitely not.

The neoclassical 'Rondo Alla Turca' interlude in 'The Great Escape' is even great, I'd say. Also the 'Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye' adaptation ('Guns And Drums') had drawn my attention.
