 TSO delivers again. Nov 21, 2009
Great story, great music. Was nice to get a chance to hear the CD before the 09 Tour even if they did only do a couple of the new songs.
 More of the Same Nov 21, 2009
TSO have been working on this album at least the last 5 years. I became dissapointed with it before I even heard the music. I have been a loyal TSO fan since the beginning and a Savatage fan since I discovered them in 1993. From the moment I started to open the CD package I could tell it was more Savatage rip-off. The artwork contains references to Savatage's "Dead Winter Dead" "The Wake of Magellan" and "Streets". Then when I listend to the CD, there was nothing that really stands out on this CD. It sounds exactly the same as the others (except Beethoven's last Night) which is by far the most unique and best. And again on this CD they STEAL Savatage music. Track 7 - "Mozart And Memories" IS NOT A TSO SONG!!! This is a Savatage song from "Dead Winter Dead" called "Mozart and Madness." It is EXACTLY the same, except the added a SHORT little extension to the end. No credit or reference to the Savatage album is given. And then they flat out place a Savatage song from the "Streets" album on here - track 23 - "Believe". They give credit to Savatage for this one. But WHY put this on here? It sounds EXACTLY like the original studio recording!!! They have a different singer do the vocals but he tries to sound and sing like Jon Oliva (but doesn't pull it off). Savatage have re-recorded this song several times and have more interesting versions. There is no reason to put this on here. At least they should have changed it and made it sound like a TSO version. So overall this CD is a big dissapointment. TSO is clearly running out of ideas. I think it is about time they hang it up.
 Music is even better if you read the story first Nov 21, 2009
I am enjoying this CD. The melodies don't grab as quickly as those on the Christmas CD's but they fit the story. The story booklet in the CD had some pages missing but you can read the whole story on the TSO web page. Knowing the story makes the music more meaningful.
The song "Believe" is the best on the album, better than the Savatage version. I have found myself listening to it several times a day and it keeps sounding better.
Outstanding CD!! Nov 21, 2009
This CD has been a long time in the making, but well worth the wait. The music is amazing, as you would expect from TSO, and the story is detailed and well-told. The CD includes a 60+ page booklet with both all of the lyrics and a very detailed story that ties all of the music together. And the bonus tracks are almost worth the very low price of the 2-CD set themselves. All in all, an amazing CD set that is more than worth the cost.
Awsome CD Nov 20, 2009
This is a Awsome CD waited a long time for it to come out!!!! well worth the wait.
