Ok, so I'm on my third listen to TA and I'm loving it. It's melodic, camp and glorious. I know it's not going to be Brent's cup of tea as there's not much that will work outside the concept.
Obviously not every single bit is awesome but the whole is a delight.
I love the change of pace, the acoustic parts (yes they sound a bit samey on first listen but some of that will be deliberate), piano, orchestration.
Yes, I've gone full fanboy.
We've already got metal DT, prog DT, hair metal prog DT, whatever the fuck SC was meant to be, so it's good that they've changed it up.
There's some Queen in there, some Savatage even, musical Theater :biggrin:and I think when viewed this way it makes sense. I Would go to see the show with actors playing the parts in full Phantom mode.
The only criticism? The bloody awful Disney ending where everyone (almost) lives happily ever after. I'll happily be the executioner for
Jaime Lannister Darryus.
James kills it.
The metal heads are going to fucking hate it
I've not touched the Avantasia yet. I yank it's going to be a bit half arsed after this :
Edit to make chads post look silly! And why the fuck you not heard it yet? I know it's early but... And if we're discussing the album there will be spoilers?
Have you seen Star Wars yet ? People die...
