I don't know yet, so be sure to tell us. I was a big fan of both Metal Opera's (the second one moreso for whatever reason.) and I've been holding off on checking it out for the sheer fact that Edguy has been getting more and more harder to swallow with every album. Sure Rocket Ride isn't pure garbage yet, but they're clearly on a trend of not even trying anymore.
I'll tell you this, they really have tried in this one, the songs have real flavor to them; Twisted mind has some fantastic lyrics and make the song both creppy, epic and moving. They really fit in with the tune. Wow this is a great song!
The Scarcrow is more instrumental, I think it would have fitted better as the starting song, it's also very good...And long, 11.13 minutes. Infact it is a also a very very good song.
Going through it the whole album seems really good, differnt but really good. I would pick it up if your into the band.
some of it even seems a bit proggy.
