Night Castle

by Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Overview

Night Castle appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the realm of the season. Night Castle brims with all the drama, pomp, and circumstance of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other records, but channeling these traits through a newly created narrative does have the effect of hearing it in a somewhat new light, shifting the focus entirely to the band's attack, not melody. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
