What the hell is this? Some crazy heavy metal, guitar-noodling Andrew Lloyd Weber rock opera about the fall of Rome, or Egypt, or something? Not sure what to think of this-reminds me of those bad 80s science fiction movies where every time they had a battle scene or an action scene, they'd through in some heavy-handed musical interlude with some deep-voiced chick singer (they have one here) basically narrating the storyline in case you couldn't tell what was happening during the movie. Lots of fast guitar tapping and the same damned drum beat and bass lines throughout pretty much every single song.
