Edguy - Age of the Joker (2011)

[JC_AOR]

Edguy have a new album on the way, their 9th in fact, and is titled 'Age of the Joker'. I don't know too much about it but Tobias has desribed it as "anthemic" and "melodic". I love the cover art too. Release is set for August 2011 on Nuclear Blast Records.

 

[phaffas]

woohoo.

 

Good pick up justin

[Nightrain]

yeah i'm curious on this album as well, anthemic and melodic sounds like a contender to Hellfire and Rocket, but hopefully Toby isn't just boasting this off

[Glen]

Cool, August is shaping up to be a killer month.

[Dark Star]

Oh yea gotta add this to My Must buy list!!!

[Dead Planet]

I own all their releases so picking this up is a gimme...

[exact3]

nice cover art. Ill give it a try. I didnt like the last two much. I still prefer the Mandrake and prior material.

[phaffas]

Toby does tend to talk up releases a bit... the last one wasnt as huge as what it was meant to be, but i still loved it. He is a genius.

[Nightrain]

i agree with the term of 'genius', although Tinnitus and Avantasia Babylon isn't as good as I expected, at least The Wicked Symphony is pretty solid in my book.

 

Didn't expect much from this, but hopefully he can top out Tinnitus this time, at least on par with Rocket

[Geoff]

Very excited about this one, has potential to be a real winner.

After the last pile of shit they released, I officially am on suspect status, I will wait and listen to samples before I blow my hard earned money like I did last disc, imo Hellfire Club is a pinnacle album and cant be outdone, so im basically just buying Edguy discs in search of hopefully a couple good new songs, at most!

[Nightrain]

i'm surprised you claimed Rocket Raid a shitty one

[Leykis101]

No Tinatus Sanctus or whatever the fuck its called is a shitty one, no Rocket was an excellent album

[Nightrain]

i thought when you say pile, then it's more than one, so I'll assume it's Tinnitus and Rocket haha

[Leykis101]

NO ROCKET RIDE WAS ABSOLUTELY KILLER!! I LOVED IT, IF THEY EVEN LANDED AN ALBUM THAT WAS A QUARTER OF WHAT ROCKET RIDE WAS I'LL SPORT WOOD, I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN!!

[Nightrain]

that's what I'm expecting so hopefully this one is a great mixed bag of their classic melodic metal of Hellfire and melodic hard rock of Rocket

Yeah we live in hope.

[heaven&hell]

I just bought Tinnutus Sanctus and yup it's not that good. There's a few good songs and the sound is good but I wonder if Tobias is spreading himself thin with Edguy and Avantasia projects every year. Hopefully this new is good.

[Glen]

Edguy are back - sounds HUGE!

From the first preview: Haha... bad sign that I was already fast forwarding the 'Robin Hood' song - terrible, but 'Nobody's hero' is excellent. 'Rock of 'Cashal' is awful too, 'Pandora's Box' sounds good.

 

From the 2nd preview the last song sounds brilliant... but the ones before sound like duds too. Overall, it sounds like there will be plenty of fillers, but hopefully the good stuff is good enough to make it an overall winner.

[JC_AOR]

I like the previews so far, should be much better than Tinnitus Sanctus.

[Glen]

RIFFAGE.......................fuck me this is AWESOME.
