Edguy's fourth album is actually their first album. In 1995, they recorded SAVAGE POETRY as a demo, but it found no success. When the band eventually did, they recorded it again, arranging this and that, and here is another top power metal record.
The songs are consistent, and Tobias Sammet's voice annoys me less than it used to as well, and I have to say the way he hits that high note in "Frozen Candle" is pretty impressive, even if it is helped by studio trickery. Other songs of note are "Keys To My Fate" and "Sacred Hell", but there's plenty more pleasure to be found here. I don't know how the original recording sounded, but this one is certainly first rate.
