Edguy Space Police - Defenders Of The Crown

2014, It was forseeable that SPACE POLICE - DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH would add some impressing numbers to this formidable balance. That's because this record features all of the qualities that the willing fan expects to come from Tobias Sammet and with which chart-stormers à la AGE OF THE JOKER were able to impress: gorgeous melodies at their catchiest, hymnic songs at their best - and additionally many a musical innovations to overawe. With this album, which has been recorded under the aegis of regular producer Sascha Paeth, the quintet from Fulda hands us a masterpiece that raises the bar of compositional skills from its already high position to an even higher one - SPACE POLICE - DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH doesn't only ring in the fifths season almost a few months earlier this year, but also heralds the start of a new era of musical high culture.
