Re: What do you think of downloading music?
That's like taking a big steak home from the butcher's shop and telling him "If I like it, i'll come back next week and pay for it." :lol: I generally agree with your outlook and do the same thing, but you must admit that the music distribution model is completely broken.

Re: Good Album & Bad Album
What's with all the hate for Black Clouds and Silver Linings? I think that album is brilliant. I never thought that Dream Theater would top Scenes From A Memory. Much to my amazement, I think they did with Black Clouds... Back to topic... I am happy to say that I have never bought an album that I to...

Re: Scorpions Farewell "We have reached the end of the road
I'm curious to hear the new album. Granted, I haven't heard every Scorpions album but their last one, Humanity: Hour 1, was great. Easily the best album that I have ever heard from them. If their mindset is to go out on a high note, then Humanity would have been a good one to end with. But from the ...

Re: Recommend me some SONATA ARCTICA
Thanks to everyone who offered their input and suggestions. I ended up ordering Ecliptica and Silence just based on the responses from this thread. To be honest, there really wasn't anything that really grabbed me on either album. I liked Silence quite a bit more than Ecliptica, but I really couldn'...

Re: bon jovi the circle album
I think it's a good album. Despite being more or the same old same old, I actually really like the single. Bon Jovi has always been good with the hooks and "We Weren't Born To Follow" is certainly no different. I also agree that it's great to hear Ritchie playing some more leads. His guitar work has...

Re: Recommend me some SONATA ARCTICA
every song. if you tell a little of your taste i can give more specific recommendations. Melody is by far the most important element of music for me. Heaviness is not so much a factor. That's actually one of the things that attracted me to Strato. Beyond that, I really like albums that are well pro...

I keep hearing about this band mostly among Strato fans. While I was waiting in line before the Strato show in NYC on Wednesday, I once again heard several people raving about this band and I finally decided that I should check them out. There seems to be more than a few posts on here about them, so...

I've done a few with other bands and this one was one of the best experiences so far. I would have liked to have seen them do more Polaris material, but it was ...

Extra Meet and Greet Ticket for NYC show.
I purchased 2 tickets for the show at the Nokia Theater show in NYC through Enter The Vault and unfortunately was informed just a few days ago that the person that who was supposed to be coming with me is not coming after all.

Re: The Worst Album and Song?
Am I the only one who likes that album? Far from the best ones, but I think the black album is better than Polaris for example. I quite like the S/T album as well. I don't understand why it is so unpopular with the band and fans. There is one track that I don't really care for, but everything else ...

Re: The Worst Album and Song?
I really don't dislike anything that I have heard from Strato. I still need to hear this "Full Moon" track that I keep reading about on here.
But my least favorites would have to be:
Album: Fright Night
Song: Gotterdammerung (Zenith Of Power)

All jokes aside, this is a HUGE blow to music. Whether you liked him or not, you can't deny the talent the man had and the legacy of his career. He was a talented songwritter and, at his peak, one of the best entertainers that the world has ever seen. MJ was my childhood idol until I discovered Iron...

This is a tough one for me because I really love both albums.

I really think Tolkki did a great job with the songs. There are one or two on there th...

Just out of curiosity, where can I find this "Full Moon" track that the rest of you are speaking of. I own all 12 Strato albums from Fright Night through Polaris plus the Intermission CD of rareties and I've never heard of it. Is it a b-side? Japanese bonus track? Anyone have a torrent that I can do...

Re: Strangest song by Stratovarius?
I voted for "030366." Really very odd but I love it. I don't know if any of the guys are Queensryche fans, but did Tolkki get any inspiration for that song from them? It is quite similar to "Screaming In Digital" from Rage For Order with it's odd time changes, use of synths, and gothic sound. The ar...

Re: What is your first Stratovarius album what hvae you listened
Infinite. I was looking for some new music online a few years ago and stumbled upon "Hunting High And Low" and it was exactly the kind of music that I was hoping to find. I decided it was worth investing in a Strato album so I started asking around about what the best starting point for a new fan wo...

That's not to say that I let the fans opinions of something dictate my opinion of something because I do occasionally disagree with them as well (case in point, I love the Elements albums). B...

Well I finally tracked down the Stratovarius demos of the album, and after spending the last week listening to both versions, I am even more convinced that the album would have been better if Tolkki had finished the album with TK, Jens, Jorg and Lauri. Like someone else mentioned, I think the demos ...

This was even more disappointing to me because as a...
