This great band is a side project of Tobias Sammet who is the lead singer of the German prog/metal band known as Edguy. This was conceived to be sorta a heavy metal rock opera done on a massive scale with lots of extra musicians helping with the project. Now some fans of the prog/metal scene, and possibly some of the fans of the band Edguy may become dismayed when they find out this fact, but track 2 ("Lay All Your Love On Me") is actually a cover song originally written by the band Abba. It's actually a rockin' cover and is done in the same vein as Disturbed and their cover of the Genesis song "Land of Confusion", same rockin' upbeat and a new spin on a great old song. This entire cd really rocks, it flows quite well, I'm glad to see that the making of concept albums have never really gone outta style and since this is my first contact with these musicians I'm intrigued enough by their talent to check out more of what they've done. If you love prog rock that has heavy metal guitar licks then your certain to really dig this cd. Check it out!Read full review
I bought this CD because of the cooperation with Ayreon, to discover the band and decide if i want to complete the collection, but was deceived. Nothing exceptionnal here, just good pop/metal, for the ones who likes this genre ;)
