I just finished listening to my copy of TSO's Beethoven's Last Night and I have to say that this thing is fucking brilliant!!!! I absolutely love this thing!!!!
For those of you who haven't heard it yet, it is a lot more rock than the previous TSO releases. In fact, I would say that it is closer to the Savatage-Dead Winter Dead album than anything. It still has the heavy classical influences and the assortment of guest vocalists, but this thing is just simply stunning.
Check it out. I have to change my vote for album of the year.

For those of you who have heard it, I am interested in your comments. I have heard very little of it on this or any other forum.
