Metal Reviews

I agree with you,HT!I just can't take this band seriously.Besides ,it is very overrated:their best album ,be it VGO,be it TOS or whatever you like is JUST ok;but no more than ok;i will never call that a masterpiece!

Yes, Blessing In Disguise is a power ballad that is, sadly, pretty crap. I say this as someone that normally likes Edguy ballads.

True, but doesn't it sound a bit out of place? I'll have to compare the other riff now...

Heavy Metal Hamster. Come on, how can you forget that turd-fest?

Yeah I don't mind it as the intro, but when it keeps cropping up later in the song it pisses me off.

I disagree. I like it. It's not amazing, but it's a good, solid tune with a pretty good hook. There is also an "epic" version of "Superheroes," which is simply a piano version of the song, so there's really two ballads on the album. I really love how the song translates to the piano ballad form. Great stuff.

One thing we need to remember is that, like the King Of Fools EP, only "Superheroes" is going to be on Rocket Ride. The rest are essentially b-sides.

Remember "Life And Times Of A Bonus Track" from the King Of Fools EP?? Hahahaha! Talk about goofy!

Yeah !! But it was good anyway. The first time I heard it I was quite surprised...it's because usually, I always read the lyrics BEFORE to listen to a CD (don't know, some kind of ritual, I guess...) and...I was expecting more a "fast" or "angry" song for that one...I never expected that there would be some piano, haha ! Goofy...and I had a good laugh at it !

Yeah, it is actually good! =) Tobias's voice in the beginning of the song when he's talking sounds weird, does he really sound like that? Hahaha. Speaking of their goofiness:

"Against certain rumors and speculations, Tobias Sammet [EDGUY vocalist] has not undergone a sex change operation yet: 'Of course, after the success of NIGHTWISH, WITHIN TEMPTATION and EVANESCENCE, we sat down to discuss what kind of sacrifice we'd have to make to hit big time with this new album. In time of female vocal domination, we came to the conclusion that it's the penis that stands in our way. I mean — literally, of course! That being said, to avoid any rumors: if it's gonna happen I'd become a lesbian woman. In case this trend is gone and we're too late, our drummer Felix considers to join me to the operating room and become a cockatoo. Though we talked him into believing that cockatooed drummered bands are gonna be the next big thing it's not for business reasons. Felix discovered his cockatooish side just when reaching puberty. Ever since he's felt like having been born in the wrong shell. He's more that cockatoo kind of guy, you all know what I mean. Whatever, in case all this won't work, we just recorded the most ambitious EDGUY album so far — just to be on the safe side. It's the most diversified stuff and we'll post the songtitles soon. The first press reactions are superb and I feel not playing it close to the chest was the best thing we could have done. It's still EDGUY at any second, it's funny here and melancholic there, fast and slow and really diversified. You'll hear 'Rocket Ride' on January 20th. And the first part of the tour is booked too. Tickets are gonna be available early next week, watch out for some real big entertaining HM-party. See you all and stay metal. You are the best."

I wonder how many people are going to believe that.

Toby to replace Tarja.

Ha ha, I'm no big Edguy fan, but that press releasing was an awesome quotation.

It's unfortunate that some of the comedy is lost in translation.
