Learning to Fly? I don't ...

Worst: Unbreakable

Rage1979

Trinity is not good. At all. Just my opinion.

Symfonia is decent but that title track is awful (so are the ballads) and the rest of the songs sound like Timo just couldn't shake the Strato writing tradition. It literally sounds more or less like Strato, just with Andre Matos on vox.

I Agree ...

Fright Night (4/10)

Dreamspace (7)

Nemesis (8
Eternal (9)
I go for this...

Start with 01011001 or the Human Equation

I get where you're coming from, musically, but I don't think it's a good start lyrically. Especially 01011001. If that's the first album one listens to they'd most likely have no clue what it's about.[/quote

Does it matter really? For me it is no big ...

I guess Soldier Prayer on Tolkki's first soloalbum is one of the demos.

Rage1979

never been a fan of ayeron,however SO MANY people recommend it that I feel tempted to pick an album, and it seems this one is the best.
anyone care to share thoughs on ayeron? where to begin?
to me this track sounded a bit like wakeman solo stuff

Ayreon is my all time favourite "bands".

Rage1979

Best Stratoalbum in 15 years, simply amazing

9/10!

Rage1979

... is to make o conceptalbum for the first time!

I believe it would be really cool!

Rage1979

Please remove "Unbreakable" and "Under Flaming Skies" otherwise its a great setist

The production is better but many of the songs are old rippoffs of his own! You have Heard it all Before many times.

Avalon II is a result of lack of time.

Rage1979

Have been listening to the entire album now and it is not good

Rage1979

Not Sweden?!

Rage1979

I Believe it's their weekest album but Floor is without any doubt their best singer!

Rage1979

I have got high hopes for this one but I refuse to pre-listen until I get my CD!

This is the best Kamelot-album in 10 years!

Two songs in three albums is way to little I think. He is not a main songwriter in Stratovarius.
Could've at least had Timo then. Kotipelto/Kupiainen is the new Lennon/McCartney.

Read my second post!

Not even Close... But everytime I listen to New Era I Think "I wonder how good this album could have been as a proper Strato-album". Well, we will never find out.

Two songs in three albums is way to little I think. He is not a main songwriter in Stratovarius.

Rage1979

Damn.. the option "Timo" Disapeared!

Rage1979

In Stratovarius of today is Jens Johansson without any doubt my favourite songwriter. His songs stand out the most bur I must say that all four of them is exellent ofcourse!

Avalon II has been growing on me once I took out the Rise of the Fourth Reich from my phone.

And after thet the Allem/Lande-album..

Rage1979

Agreed! Elysium is their best album after Ininite!

If the guys do a new Elysium.....

let me say it that this can be a extra epic win.

but Elysium looks as one of those "special" moment in the life that happen sometimes

Anyway, one second "Nemesis" isnt bad too

I will tell you the true

By me ...

This song does remind me of a song from the album infinite

Good band anyway!

Madness strikes at midnight
Dragons
We hold the key
Will the sun rise?
Season of change
A million lightyears away
I'm still alive
Darkest hours
Galaxies
Lead us into the light
Forever
Father time

Why are we here?
Will my soul ever rest in peace?
Runaway
I walk to my own song

None, I never listen to music when I sleep, eat and have sex. Otherwise pretty much all the time

that is the common conception, but with TT I think I prefer no news, he needs to rest a while to recharge batteries a to find new ways to present music , if you guys remember when stratovarius and he split up he was the first to present music, in fact he has done more albums than strato guys, the ...

Avalon seems to be over though. The site has been down for moths now and Frontiers doesn't want to comment on the project.
damn! were the sales of that album that bad? those are bad news as I enjoy a lot metal operas, except for that ayeron stuff that I just dont get.

The first album was very ...
