Product Description

Re-recorded versions of the original demos used by the German metal act to shop for a label in 1995. The originals have long been unavailable after the initial pressing was sold out during their first gigs and is now considered highly collectable. The band re-worked the material to take advantage of their improved studio prowess (the originals were written and recorded while the band were still teen-agers). During the re-recording process the band had many ideas on how to improve the songs, including adding new parts. These are totally new vers

4.0 out of 5 stars old school edguy, October 29, 2001

By A Customer

this rerecording of edguys dabut album is ok it dosint sound as good as new edguy when this cd was made thay dident have the kind of talent that thay have now. but the vocals from Tobias Sammet and the lyrics to the songs are as good as thay are today if that is the mane reson you like this band buy this cd if you are more intrested in the musical talent by guitarist Jens Ludwig
i would save your money for theater of salvation or mandrake. but if you are a die hard edguy fan then get this cd.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just for the hardcore fans only, July 20, 2000

By	Rob Smith (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

To my friend, music fan from Costa Rica, I guess you forgot to read the explanatory notes on the sleeve, and therefore were unable to realize that this was a re-recording of their first demo they sent to the record companies in germany. And it shows. The songwriting is average (who said that fast was better?), the musicianship is tight and Sammet's vocals sometimes can be annoying, but those moments are few. Don't get me wrong, I have their previous two and they are excellent albums, but If you're just getting started with this band, I strongly suggest you get the previous two releases which are a more better portrait of what this band is all about. If you already have them, get this, just to add it to your collection. The album sounds good, but you'll find yourself crawling back to VGO for the real deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faster and New!, July 11, 2000

By A Customer

This time Tobias Sammet shows all his power, he is very near to Michael Kiske but he is a better composer. This Cd is much Faster, and now they play louder, what a great drumer they have(Felix Bohnke), he reminds me of Ingo Schwichtenberg, they have also improved the guitar solos, but this Cd doesn't have as much instrumentation as "Theater of Salvation". So what else can I say? /That Kai Hansen was right when he recomended Edguy and said it sounds like Keeper I&II
