I just picked up the Savage Circus CD today. Awesome. You could burn this album, give it to a fan of Blind Guardian, and easily get away with telling them it's the new BG album.

Two major differences:

Pieet's guitar solos suck. The songs, riffs, and melodic parts are absolutely amazing, but his solos are ripped right out of 80's cock rock. He should just stick to melodic and harmony riffs like BG do, or work on his chops/writing.

The vocals are better. I swear to god. Not overall, Hansi has obviously had his moments of godliness..., however Jens singers lower, as high, and just plain stronger than Hansi does lately. Add to that there are some really well written vocals on here. The chorus and background vocals arent as soaring or layered as on BG albums, but there's still a whole shitload of em.

In general, I went into this thinking I was going to get a decent powermetal album from a band that sounds or tries to sound like Blind Guardian. Instead, I got the follow up to "Imaginations from the other side". I honestly think I know why BG delayed the release of the new album and put out that e.p. instead. They're about to get one-upped.

If you like powermetal, buy this. $9.99 at Newbury Comics.
