No, no the best song is wings of tomorrow ain't it? believe me

Wings Of Tomorrow is really good indeed !
Actually, i think this album is really special.
How to explain... it is so great ithat you don't listen to the tracks, but to the album !
I mean, You don't put the CD in your player and say "ok, i'll play Thin Ice" or "now Hold On To Your Dream"... You just say "I'll play the whole album with the repeat mode !!!"

Seriously, Dreamspace is one of those VERY rare Albums where all the songs are exceptionally great! And, I do like Chasing Shadows&Wings of Tommorrow very much, too!

Sorry offtobic.

Sorry offtobic.

Off Tobic ?
Well, actually we are off topic since a lot time !

@BEG : You are right, "Tears Of Ice" is a really great song. Timo's voice is great.
my favorite part is the solo, with the piano, the oboe (i'm not sure of the name) and the bass. I made a bass tablature of that song
I think "Fourth Reich" is really good too... and also "We Are The Future"... and of course "Dreamspace". "Reign Of Terror" is cool. "Abyss" is really cool. "Wings Of Tomorrow" is positive...
aaaaah, great album !!! I still remember when I had it. it was the really first Stratovarius album that i heard....
Anyway... we could have a whole and long topic, just about this album !

Timo, I think everyone has different taste, and it's quite a good thing. The world would be so boring if we all liked the same things !
But personally i really hate that song. It's really "nanana-nana". I understand that some pp who are not into metal music can like it, because it sounds really POP, but as a big Stratovarius fan, I prefer their others songs, which are more representative of what the band is and plays. And well... you can't compare "A Millions Years", "Playing With Fire", "The Abyss Of Your Eyes" with "Visions", "Destiny" or "Paradise"

[timo the soulforged]

yes but this doesn't mean that if someone likes one of this songs is nesseserilly(or how the hell it is written)not a metalhead..... playing with fire is for me one of their worst songs such as babylon....

[timo the soulforged]

and also i'm not the one who can say which song is pop and that kind of stuff... i'm just 16 years old and listen to metal only the last 2 years...... from what i've understand u(cliff) are a bit older than i am...

Since we are discussing the Tolkki Era--I'd like to say that Twilight Time is an exceptionally good album! I like all 8 songs, and it is one of my favorite albums-right up there with Dreamspace! I enjoy Twilght Time, Hands of Time, Madness Strikes at Midnight, but my favs are Out of the Shadows&Lead Us Into the Light!

Could be, but TK says different. Besides, it is in everyones best interest that they get along even if they are still angry with one another.
Lets just wait&see what the future brings!
