This CD is just awesome! Songs that get under your skin! Powerful voices ingenious riffs, catchy choruses, bombastic and variety in perfection. Avantasia combines Epic Rhapsody and the excellent power metal of the brand Gamma Ray to an indescribable whole that you have to have just heard. Here the music also serves those who otherwise can not start as much with metal. As are, for example, the wonderfully beautiful "Farewell" and called never boring "Sign of the Cross". Novice and genre fans will love these two titles. There are few albums, which I really like every song, this CD is without a doubt to do so. Buy, enjoy, and wait for the second part, which will hopefully soon.
