I have heard Edguy songs before, but this is the first CD I buy from the group. After hearing Avantasia, and some songs of previous Edguy releases, and after reading great critics of their latest CD 'Mandrake', I decided to go ahead and purchase it. After playing the album a couple of times for a couple of days I decided that I definitively love this CD, a brilliant work of power metal, and certainly it has become one of my favorite power metal albums.

Except the bonus track and 'Wash away the poison', all the rest of the songs are not just good, they are great. 'Golden Dawn', 'Jerusalem', 'The Pharaoh' and 'Painting on the Walls' are beyond great.

I think "Mandrake' sounded great, their choruses went beyond beauty in some instances, really magnificent. In conclusion, as a power metal band (their music), and as singers (choruses and Sammet's solo vocals), 'Mandrake' is certainly a five star album, no doubt. I'm looking forward to buying some of their previous works.
