2.0 out of 5 stars
An unfortunate release for Edguy, November 23, 2008
I really wish I didn't have to say this, but I have to echo the thoughts of the individual below me. This album was just dismal when it comes to any previous release by the likes of Edguy. I have been a fan of the things that most people like and most people don't like of Edguy, and upon listening to this, I feel like this was a HUGE step back for their creative writing process. Tracks that used to be very full of sound have been severely cut back to very bland sounding 4/4 time rock jams. Vocals and lyrics are just not hitting me as they used to. I readily admit I'm a terrible reviewer so give me some credit.
Ok, I get it, this isn't supposed to be Avantasia, and this isn't supposed to be like the previous works per-say, but this album gives me the feeling of a lot more lost than evolved. But hey, it's bound to happen. Bands release bad albums and most of the time produce epics after that. Can't learn to produce results without a few mistakes along the way right? Anyways, I'm not one of those guys who's going to say "I will never buy another album from them" etc because Edguy are still one of the bands I truly love and respect. Better luck next go around.

Quite disappointing, May 23, 2009
Ever since seeing Edguy in concert a year and a half ago, I've been a pretty big fan of theirs. I immediately picked up Rocket Ride, and later Hellfire Club...loved both CDs. This album, however, fell quite a bit short in my opinion. This was one of those releases that I wouldn't mind listening to, but nothing about it really stands out to me. The first single, being Ministry of Saints, was something I'd expect to be an album cut on any other Edguy CD, so I was quite disappointed to find out that the rest of the album wasn't even up to snuff with that. Overall I wouldn't recommend this CD. If you're going to get an Edguy album, pick up Rocket Ride or Hellfire Club. You'll be much more satisfied.

Great ... Disappointment., November 25, 2008
The lack of creativity can be felt through the whole album here. No one song is good enough (by the levels set for Edguy).
I am very sad about this, cause I have been a Edguy's fan since I first listened to them back in the 2005, all their other albums are really good, full of spirit, inspiration and CREATIVITY, all recommended.
I think no good sells will come from this CD, because many, many edguy's fans will be disappointed too ... And this last should be good for Edguy's future. They will have to make a big analysis about where the band is going, and I really hope that with this they return to the road and their roots and finally next edguy's realese could be outstanding. ( As some times have happened with other good bands - ex Helloween)
Edguy's is recognized as a great power-metal band for albums like TOS, VGO, Mandrake, even rocked ride is full of creativity and inspiration even it is more like Rock-pop. Tobias must remember that ... forget about money and contracts and offer again honesty in his work.
