Like fuck... does anyone ever say their latest release isn't "one of my best ever"?Is it wise for a business to downplay their own product?Music is a product and you need to sell it. This is how you market things by saying it's the best and hyping the hell out of it.Also, Musicians have no way of knowing if an album will become their best selling album of all time. There are times when the new album ends up becoming something spectacular where it does become their best of all time. But these take time as well to come to fruition as being considered the best (insert band name) album.Errr.....Avantasia are not the type of band that will dramatically sell more albums by the creator coming out and saying it's the best thing ever. That's just ridiculous, they aren't some manufactured pop outfit for the masses.Maybe not sell more, but potentially sell less by not saying it.I do not care for when artists say their latest is the greatest, but it's hard for me to say they shouldn't say it. I just accept it as promotion/marketing.

Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.
Fair enough. I'll live with that. I wouldn't expect artists to not say it but can see where Chad was coming from. I think he just threw that out as simple thinking aloud type of random thought, not expecting it to get fully analysed.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now?

That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".
Remember the mark of a great vocalist is if TAC hates them with a special passion
Pretty good song actually, great chorus. Hopefully this album is better than the last one.I still hate Sascha's guitar playing though.
Yeah, that's an odd title (thanks for sharing). Not sure how I feel about it. But no release date yet or track listing?
This gentleman has taste, folks.
Pretty good song. Lots of energy. I made the mistake of reading along with the lyrics. “Rechannelize”?? Is that even a word? I think I’ve come to terms with the fact that Avantasia lyrics just don’t make very much sense, so I just put them out of my mind and enjoy the music!Looking forward to the album. I was disappointed with Moonglow, so I’m hoping this will be a return to form.

Well I found that pretty average. If Rolf sang any higher I wouldn’t be able to hear him!
Sore point. I have a Rolf painting that used to be worth serious money - now it’s virtually worthless 🤬🤬🤬🤬No excuse either - I had my specs on! 😁
