Ok, so part 2 of the double album, but part 3 of the trilogy (the end basically).

So, what did I think.

To be honest, this is the weakest out of all 3. Usually the end album would be spectacular and incredibly epic, but it was a wee bit dull. Maybe I just need it to let it sink in a little more.

It's still a great album, with some classic Avantasia songs, but at times, it does seem a wee bit rushed, and the songs don't have the same longeifity factor as the other 2.

Again, I'm still confused by the concept.

1. Stargazers - Epic power metal at its best. If you really want a good chorus, just get Michael Kiske to sing it. 10/10

2. Angel Of Babylon - Interesting chorus. Such a happy song, considering the subject matter. 9/10

3. Your Love Is Evil - Another pop metal classic. Great chorus. 9/10

4. Death Is Just A Feeling - Surprisingly catchy. Great chorus and an amazing vocal performance from Jon Olivia. 10/10

5. Rat Race - Very cathcy. Thats all you need to know. 9/10

6. Down In The Dark - What a chorus. Great vocals. 10/10

7. Blowing Out The Flame - Quite Elton John. A wee bit filler. Quite week. 8/10

8. Symphony Of Life - A good stab at a symphonic metal song. 9/10

9. Alone I Remember - Very bluesy. I like the intro. The chorus is so 80s. 9/10

10. Promised Land - One of the best chorus on the album. Killer song, with Jorn exceding expecations. 10/10

11. Journey To Arcadia - For some reason, the last songs on these 2 albums are quite weak. This song does have its moments, but it really doesn't leave a lasting effect one me. It is quite epic at times though. 8/10

CONCLUSION: And thus ends the trilogy. Better than the Lord Of The Rings, I think so. I suggest you buy them all and make your own decision, and don't forget, you're money will contribute to Tobias' ever changing hairstyle and facial hair.
