Music reviews of Theater of Salvation

Music Review: Welcome to the Theater...
Rating: 5 Stars

Edguy's "Theater of Salvation" is the final Edguy outing to feature a "typical" European speed-power metal sound although they still touch on that style in places in later releases. I mean the follow up "Mandrake" has some of that speed-power metal style but they've expanded to a more unique sound that would eventually define the band.

But despite this album having a distinctive European power metal style to it, it's an Edguy gem done beautifully. Songs like "Babylon" and "Wake Up The King" are your typical high energy power metal anthems. Songs like "The Headless Game" and "Land of the Miracle" are more midtempo or slow but still beautiful melodically. "Babylon" and "The Headless Game" and "Land of the Miracle" have a similar order to "Vainglory Opera" in "Until We Rise Again" "How Many Miles" and "Scarlet Rose." "Theater..." has this very heavenly sounding atmosphere to it, and that grand piano and string sections on this album are just to die for! Tobias Sammet's voice is also beautiful, he's got a vibrato that he shows off like hell but I didn't find it annoying at all. Great piano moments: Land of the Miracle, Another Time. Great speed metal: Babylon, Wake Up The King, Arrows Fly, The Unbeliever.

I think the epic of the whole album is the title track, which beautifully comes in at the end of the whole album. It's such a spiritual, heavenly song that soars with the angels with every listen, along with "The Piper Never Dies" on "Hellfire Club," this is my favorite Edguy epic. The chants of "Hallelujah! Hallelujah" at the song's climax gives me chills up and down my spine everytime I listen to it! And of course, what's an Edguy album without humor? The track closes off with a very interesting backmasked conversation over cheesy music =)

Well, I say this album is at par with "Vain Glory Opera," - those two have grown to be some of my favorite European styled power metal albums. "Theater of Salvation" is definitely a must-have for power metal fans, and chances are if you love Edguy you've got this album in your library. New to Edguy? You can start with this album!
