I got the limited edition scarecrow with a DVD about the music and story.
Alice plays an eerie business man who wears a top hat, that enjoys other people's pain, because then he can sell them pain relief...
Tobias describes The Toy Master as a weird song, very well suited for Alice, heavy, dark, evil.
Tobias also talks about Eric Singer when making the video for Lost in Space, saying that the plan was originally to record a video in the German studio, not a big deal. They ended up after a delayed and diverted plane, on an 8 hour bus journey in Serbia with 40 drunken men trying to get to the video shoot. Tobias talks about Eric being sat near a Serbian guy wearing many bags, and Eric asks him to move a bag that was in the way.
"These bags contain documents, I've lost them once, I wont lose them again."
Tobias says he can still see Eric sitting there muttering to himself "We'll just shoot a video in the studio in Germany, not a big deal".
Tobias says he still thinks Eric is mad at him for this, planning on being a simple shoot in Germany, he says they end up being on a bus in the snow with 40 drunken men in East "Bumf---".

I've been listening to this on YouTube since it came out, but yesterday I bought it on iTunes.
I absolutely ADORE it! The lyrics are perfect, and I love the melody. I can't stop playing it and when I don't I have it running in the back of my mind anyway! It's simple and classical, but so efficient.
There are a few things I could do without, some of the sound effects and backing voices (is it over dubbing?) it would gain from being more "raw". But all in all it's one of my favourites for now.

The best thing about it is Alice's vocal

I think Alice's vocals on Elected have to be placed above anything on Brutal Planet or Raise Your Fist!EyeAm wrote:
And the rumor about it being the hardest song Alice ever recorded: not true. The Brutal Planet album attests to the contrary--or else, "Roses & White Lace".
Just listen to the phrasing and delivery of a master lyric and that scream!

Alice matched it with Welcome To My NightmareParish wrote:
The Alice Cooper Group apparently raised the bar way too far for Alice to match it...

Re: Avantasia (The Scarecrow ) Leaked
Everytime I hear this song, I'm impressed with how good it is. A fantastic tune. I don't think it's been discussed all that much for how good it is.
I don't know all that much about Tobias Sammet or Avantasia aside from this album, but I'm going to have to check out more material.

Re: Avantasia (The Scarecrow ) Leaked
Watched a few of tobias's vids/performances on you tube..one performance he seems to have Alice's top hat and kiss's stage..lots of influences...as for this song..Alice's voice fits in well for me..but is like BP/Dragton..if Alice wanted to return to this sound, Alice could even borrow it for Welcome 2 (well the original welcome had escape on it(music orig allegedly written by others if I recall correctly)..Vgood
