Thanks to whoever gave that last vote that made it a tie!

Inside... Tobi doesn't need to write 2.5 minute ballads.

I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Inside


I'll be very surprised if my favorite song is also someone else's favorite.

Yeah, Inside is among three songs I don't really like, and it's a ballad, so no contest.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Part of the reason this album is easily the lowest ranked of all Avantasia albums (for me), is because 5 of the 13 tracks are filler.  There's really only 8 tunes here.  Anytime I listen to this album, I'm just waiting for the 5 tunes to be over.

Oh wow. That's a bold statement for me. TMO pt. 1 is my favourite Avantasia album.  :)

Well, I don't really mind that filler. I mean, I mind "Inside" cause it has vocals and it's the worst tune here, but I don't consider the other instrumental pieces as songs. They are serving their purpose well. It's like Kamelot's "Epica" and "The Black Halo", they have the so called interludes, but I just count them as intro to the songs. And I'll take that approach everytime to uninspired TMO pt.2 pieces like Neverland or Memory.

It's shameful how Tobi ripped himself off here and basically opened Hellfire Club with this track.
