Loved the first two, simply because, damnit, there's always some room for some cheesy power metal and those bring in in spades. "The Seven Angels" from the second CD might be the uncrowned king of cheesy power metal, with an all star line up of vocalists to boot. Kind of soured on the later stuff, same with latter day Edguy, for that matter. Tobias Sammnet does power metal GOOD. AOR/hard rock, now...doesn't work for me.
