After the last albums were always slightly weaker, with this album is also no change in view. Albums like "Oceans Of Time" or "The Masquerade Ball" still included consistently brilliant songs, especially the ballads had absolute goose bumps status. But unfortunately, we examine those songs on "Mystica" in vain. For me, one of the weaker albums. It is a moral imperative-earth metal / rock but no song stands out in particular. Axel Schade .... But perhaps spurred him his marriage and he now starts again with full ..... I would wish it to me. For fans, the CD is absolutely OK - for new listeners I would recommend first time the older discs!
