What's great about it: everything, from start to finish
the only down side was having to wait 2+ years for the release. i enjoyed both discs from start to finish. this will also make new fans for TSO.

What's great about it: Diversity
What's not so great: Need more pieces that are carachteristic of the band.
This collection has many songs that are a mix of music and sung by a great tenor, but TSO has shined on music that was once classical and they transform and bring to a more moder dimension, this collection is lacking precisely this, more modern touch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Awesome music at a great price!
What's not so great: nothin that i can tell so far!
This band is absolutely AWESOME! They give one heck of a show on stage, anyone who likes them should see them on tour. I saw them and now want to look into seeing them on their first non christmas tour because they are just great.

What's great about it: It's finally released! Nutrocker, Tracers finally on disc & done well. Nice packaging & storybook.
What's not so great: Too many recycled songs from previous albums of TSO & Savatage for such a long wait (writer's block?).
I've waited for years for this album to be released and am somewhat disappointed. I don't understand why, since this has taken so long, there is so much recycled material from previous Savatage and TSO albums. It's as if they ran short on new work and rummaged through the old trunk in the attic for filler material. Vocals on several numbers sound like a Broadway singer who's trying just a bit too hard to project, thus marring the effect of what would have been an emotional, stirring song. Those aside, I truly appreciate finally having Tracers on disc - it's one of my favorite concert numbers. Nutrocker does ELP proud with a crisp,bright touch with Greg Lake himself on bass! This album is a worthy effort by O'Neill & the TSO gang, I just wish they would have put a bit more effort into creating NEW material - just what WERE you folks doing all these years while we waited?! Buy it and, by all means, go see TSO live, as that version never fails to disappoint!

What's great about it: there is no wizard in winter on this cd but it is a solid cd. sparks will be a concert favorite. it will be nice to see
What's not so great: a vietnam soldier gets killed...been there done that.
I put this cd on when I received it. I was doing chores around the house next thing you know the cd is over. this is a very good cd easy to listen to. there are rockers on this disc. there are your tpical TSO tunes also. sparks should be a good song live.

What's great about it: the music arrangements are great
What's not so great: too much singing, want more instrumentals
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra always produces a magnifident CD. This one is included. I enjoy the instrumentals, but it could use more of them and not as much vocals.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Great TSO music
I was so happy to see the Night Castle was finally released by Trans Siberian Orchestra. The music on it is great. Unlike previous TSO cd's, there is not much of a Christmas theme with this one. If you are going to their live show, they play a few selections from the cd but do not do the complete set. Overall, the cd was worth the wait for any T.S.O. fan.

What's great about it: The music, the story, the booklet, the price (at Best Buy).
What's not so great: Nothing!
This CD is among the very best I have ever heard! I LOVE TSO - so I was sure I would love this CD. I loved their other "non-Christmas" CD also. And of course, the Christmas CD's are great. I didn't know what to expect with
Night Castle and it did not disappoint this listener! I have never heard the
other bands ( Savatage etc,) so I can't compare the music, but it doesn't matter - this one is fantastic. Thanks to the wonderful musicians who created this musical journey - it's great! If you love TSO, buy this CD - you will NOT be sorry!!!

What's great about it: for a band known mainly for Christmas music, this album will not disappoint you ..
What's not so great: none
For a band mainly known for Christmas music, this album will not disappoint at all.. its the next big rock opera .. being the perfectionist TSO is they wanted to make sure everything was just right for this album and they hit it just right
