I doubt that too Chris. You managed to score yet another Edguy album in the 90's. You're going for a record.
Ok on a more serious note, i find this album to have a few stinkers that ruins the good impression of some songs.For me there are great Edguy songs on every album, but it's more like 2-3 great and 6-7 average to just worse. The only exception is of course VGO. This album doesn't stray much from the above formula. The album opens great with Sacrifice, which is a good hard rock/melodic heavy metal combo with a very infectious chorus. The other songs which have slowly been growing on me are Wasted Time and Catch Of The Century. Good catchy melodies always have an impact on me, i'm guilty of that. Save Me sounds as bad as 99% of Edguy ballads and i think that The Asylum is a blatant copy of Piper Never Dies.
I really don't see the similarities between The Asylum and the Piper Never Dies. I mean the Piper Never Dies is a godly song. Gave me goosebumps the first 100 times a listened to it and still does sometimes. The Asylum is no where near the absolute amazingness of TPND. Still a good song though.
It's probably the rhythm, that Dio-esque stomp that each song has. I agree, though, I don't hear any similarities really, just that like slight similarity in stucture, but that's a stretch.
Chris mentioned a Bon Jovi similarity in "Save Me," I don't hear that, but I totally hear Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" in "Wasted Time."
