Re: Helloween - Pumpkins United
how long until a Stratovarius reunion? anyone wants to bet? I'm thinking less than five years. I think 10, but it's only after Jens and TT see each other in an Avantasia project. Time to start a separate metal opera project and invite the Stratoguys in pairs until they reconcile their differences W...

Re: Helloween - Pumpkins United
I think at the current point, Timo and Jens are too successful with the existing band to attempt to relive the glory days. I mean hell, they play all the old stuff already, and Matias and Lauri are better performers than TT and Jari, so what do they have to gain aside from at best a small uptick in...

Re: Jani + Anette OTP
I was expecting this release. I didn't really really liked it... I'm feeling a bit let down by my favorite artist recently. The thing that I despise the most is the copycat formulaic repetitive shit pop music does all the fucking time (still there's a bunch of really awesome pop music out there) an...

Re: Jani + Anette OTP
I got a Nightwish vibe, again, at the beginning of the song. Thankfully not nearly as blatant as Antemortem. Good song for a single, I enjoyed it. I hope there's some meatier power metal type stuff on this album but whatever it is I'll be picking up a copy. Did you say Nightwish vibe? https://www.y...

Re: What do you want to hear on the next album?
I think the Matias era albums sound great... One thing I do miss about the late 90s production is however Timo mixed the drums - I think he also used some VST samples on top of Jorg's playing, for some reason - the drums sound FUCKING HUGE. Now I know Jorg beats the hell out of his drums anyway, bu...

I just want a decent mix. Is that so much to ask? Elysium and Eternal both sound atrocious. Are you kidding? Matias doesn't mix as well as the other guy, both both still have a great, crisp sound to them. Autism is REAL! :roll: Listen to Infernal Maze and compare it to "Eternity" or "Coming Home" a...

Hasn't been announced, just got the feeling, you know. It's almost that time, and they're reflecting on Eternal, so fingers crossed we'll hear some kind of news on going into the studio soon.

Re: What do you want to hear on the next album?
Announced or just the feeling? I saw Timo say "probably next year" on FB, but that was also the plan for Revolution Renaissance, so who knows. There wasn't a single bad track on Eternal, but I don't want to see the guys get complacent. All my favorite albums have been the ones where the guys really ...

Guess there were some ego-clash between Timo and Andre as well. But didn't Timo write a whole album worth of material in Siberia before they officially called it quits?

New Era was fine, but the keyboards just never developed for background music or even the build up.

Re: Timo Tolkki to perform Strato/RR songs
I feel like Trinity was the pivotal moment of Timo Tolkki's career. That's the best collection of songs he put together this Millennium (Assuming that "Millennium and the rest of that album were written in 1999), and what does Tolkki do? Raids the bands remaining fund to try and launch an (admitted...

Breaks my heart seeing the guy who got me into guitar and is probably the inspiration for most of my music, xanaxed to shit, morbidly obese and unable to play the same songs he's been playing for the last 20 years

Yeah the middle section definitely drags on. Personally Rhapsody seems to follow the rule of 3 for me. I hate one album, then love the next two. Legendary Tales feels unfinished and bland when stacked against all of the other albums. Rain of a Thousand Flames had a nice heavy element, but nothing pa...

Re: Rhapsody Of Fire - Into The Legend
I never thought of that. A live album with Giacomo might have been a warmer way to introduce him to the fans!

Re: Top 10 Stratovarius songs of the new era
I see what you did there ;) Great picks, nice mention of the bonus songs! I was very tempted to put Giants on the list - that is an amazing song - but I decided not to, for fear of jumping down the bonus track rabbit hole... Stratovarius does some great ballads; If The Story Is Over is really high ...
