I've been into Avantasia for a while, the impetus now is mainly that I've usually focused on the last three albums (well, it was last two when I got into them, since that was before Moonglow came out), and now I'm becoming more interested in the earlier era. For whatever reason, when I first listened to Wicked Symphony a few years ago, I couldn't get into it, so between that and finding The Scarecrow a bit uneven, Angel wasn't really a consideration. Now that I've gotten into TWS, my interest in that era has grown.
