Okay, after one listening session, I can definitely say that I like the new Avantasia stuff (fave songs so far: "Lay all your love on me", "The story ain't over" and "Scary eyes" - subject to change!).
However, another aspect of the two EP set deserves a huge kick in the ass of whoever had the idea. Of course, I'm talking about the bonus stuff, or rather, the technical aspect. That media player thing is just terrible. It seems people are having major trouble with it left and right, at least that's what I gather from the forums.
It does work for me, but for some reason, the "Lost in space" video clip doesn't run smoothly. I couldn't believe it when I played it last night. Hell, it's just a clip. Who programmed that player?! And if it's a problem of the video itself, who encoded it?! Geez...
Also, the whole implementation makes it impossible to get the videos and pictures from the discs as they're saved in a weird way that makes it impossible to access them without the player. Great... not :|
So, a big thumbs up for the tunes, but a huge "Booo" for the extras section.
On the other hand, the new pictures are... nice. Mmmmh, Tobi :D~~~
