Re: Tony Kakko's voice has really deteriorated in the last decad
I actually love The Days Of Grays, and I think it's pretty much the other way around - I think he sings better than ever in the album. To me, their best album is Reckoning Night, but The Days Of Grays is really a refreshing break from Unia. I think it's actually better than Polaris, almost as good a...

Re: Koti`s voice?
I was a bit concerned because I thought his voice wasn't great in Polaris, but Gather The Faithful blew me away and now those worries are a thing of the past. His voice is better than ever in that album. I don't know what to say about his live performances, though. I've seen him live twice, and both...

Re: What do you expect for the next album?
- Catchy epic songs. Higher We Go , Blind and Forever Is Today are catchy, for example. Emancipation Suite (both parts) and King Of Nothing are good epic songs, but they're far from catchy. Compare that to Destiny or Infinity , catchy, epic songs. I disagree. The Songs on Polaris were quite Catchy....

I personally think all browsers suck. The web sucks. When you can't watch a video at a decent frame rate with a modern low-end computer, you've gotta realize the underlying technology sucks.

Re: What do you expect for the next album?
I liked Polaris, but I think the next album is going to be better. After quite a few listens, I'd rank Polaris only in front of the black album (not taking into account the pre-Kotipelto era albums, which I don't realy consider to be in the same league). I think there's a consensus about what the co...

Re: Can we have Eternity back as the opener?
That does sound fantastic live! I don't think it would be a good opener though. I love Destiny as an opener, in fact.

Re: Next Recommend Me: Freedom Call
It's a good band. It's more of a complementary band to me, I listen to Freedom Call only when I want a break from the stuff I listen to everyday (Stratovarius + some other favorite). I once got hooked to Dimensions . Now it's just a regular song for me, but you might like it: <object width="425" hei...

TT/RR concerts in São Paulo
Heh, that was odd. I really wanted to see TT live again, I still consider him one of the best, if not the best power metal composer ever. The problem is, I couldn't find precise information anywhere about the concerts. For me, the workshops and pocket shows would simply not happen at all, they weren...

Kiko Loureiro's Fullblast
Kiko Loureiro just recently released a new solo album called Fullblast. For those unaware, he's one of the guitar players for Angra. The album is pretty good, probably even better than his first solo album, No Gravity (I don't know about Universo Inverso, never listened to it). It's not 100% metal (...
