A couple of years after The Scarecrow shook things up, Tobi is back with not one, but two new albums of brand new matieral featuring the cream of metal's vocal talents. Don't expect Metal Opera all over again from these albums, stylistically they are not too dissimilar from the previous album, as they mix elements from power metal and stadium rock to good effect.

Not bad of an album, definitely better than it's follow-up, Angel of Babylon.

A very nice album and well done by Tobi. It keeps so much the winner formula from The Scarecrow, and has more power than Angel of Babylon (and more Kiske  ). Just two a little weaker songs (Crestfallen & The Edge). Outta those ones we get very great songs again from Tobi (my great favourite being Runaway Train  )

Same problem as Scarecrow that there's too many songs that doesn't cut it. The Wicked Symphony, Scales of Justice and Runaway Train are the good part of the album and the rest I really can't remember even if I've heard them several times
