I have a question to do.
Jens, you and the rest of the band presented their compositions to Timo?
he really did not let them into the album, or was that you had no songs to him?
Tell us a little about it
Thank you

I think Jens said in some other thread that they presented their compositions to Tolkki and he prefered to use his own for the Album. Jens also said that this is normal and he would do the same when he would be in this position.

Close enough! It was different degrees of this depending on what year we are talking about. BTW I always liked TTs writing and had no problem at all with whatever he decided artistically.

So what is the spread of the composition for the new album? Are they all written by one of the band members or is there some collaborations as well?

I think this was addressed in another previous thread and Jens had said that all the band members had contributed something song wise to this album.
I'm thinking it's something now that's more along the lines of the Helloween songwriting process.

I don't think jens has said who wrote what songs or how many songs each member wrote.

I know, I'm just saying that it's been said that the writing process is more democratic now
