A nice comeback by Timo Tolkki, who on Return to Eden delivers some solid European power metal with serious positive vibes and an array of cool guests. Some parts will bring Avantasia to your mind, but the album overall is quite consistent, as the plethora of different vocalists doesn't work against its cohesion. Anneke van Giersbergen fanboys (like myself) should definitely check "Hear My Call".
