Considering this first true release from Edguy was when Tobias Sammet was still a teenager, this is a great album. Power metal is difficult to produce without it straying into the parody that is Wonderboy by Tenacious D, and Edguy manage to avoid those pitfalls with this album. Particularly impressive are Sammet's vocals, but some excellent tracks can be found here: Wings of a Dream, Heart of Twilight, Deadmaker, and the brave but successful 18 minute epic, The Kingdom. Nice work, all told.
