Music like this shows you how shallow and numb the pop music is.

Tobi's early stuff has never really been my cup of tea. This is no exception. At points there are moments where Tobi's songwriting abilities poke through and come up with something great. The Tower, Avantasia, and Glory of Rome are good examples of that. However, some tracks just feel motionless with their repetitious choruses and stagnate instrumentation. The production sounds weirdly clean and tinny. The drums, however, are consistently excellent. Wish I liked this more than I do, theres great stuff here but the entire thing is bogged down.

Awesome power metal band and record. This is the first record by Avantasia and has some
amazing melodies and guitar work, which is characteristic of Power Metal. The guest singers
are very well matched in the songs they were assigned with. Michael Kiske (Ernie for those
not-in-the-know) outshines every vocalist on this particular record and his contributions
are among my favorites off this record. which include: "Reach Out For The Light, Farewell
and The Tower"

The best power metal album ever created - ever song is an absolute fucking diamond. I
first heard it about 6 years ago and I have regularly listened to it ever since. Quite
possibly my favourite metal album of all time...
EDIT:
6 years after leaving this initial comment I still bloody love this album and listen to
it on a regular basis. It embodies everything that is silly and cheesy about power metal,
but it's just so well polished and written that it really does transcend the trappings of
the genre. Top stuff, and Sammet hasn't topped it since.

What can I say about Tobbias' Metal Opera?
It's a master piece.
It has everything: good solos, nice keyboards arrengments, a fascinating sotry, and excellent vocals.
This an innovation in our times because it is really an opera, this album as you know has a lot of guess musician.
Simply brillant, give it a try.
