What? Nobody commented this one yet?

Great album, as always. If some their earlier albums sounded like heavier version of Blind Guardian, this time it's more like a little lighter version of Nevermore. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, since I personally love both of them. The vocals are mixed way too low for my taste, but that's more or less my only really big issue here. Oh, and the name itself, it's very confusing and stupid considering they named their previous album nearly the exact same and neither are live albums.

Albums like these need more than one spin to really get into, so this opinion is just some first thoughts that came to my mind and might change radically over time. But for now I kinda like it. A lot. It always makes me happy to see old dogs learn some new tricks.
