Thoughts on the Twilight Time album

Post by strangehighways » Thu Feb 24, 2005 10:35 pm

Well, I'm listening to it now... first thoughts..... an underated gem of an album. THe songs... Hands of Time and Out of the Shadows are among Stratovarius's best EVER songs I think and would definately be on a 'best of' cd if I created one. What do others think??

Very good album, and very underrated indeed. But Strato made better albums than this one imo, Dreamspace, 4th , Episode, Visions, and both Elements are way better. But I was also very surprised when I got TT, cause people describe it as total bullshit but it is actally very good. My favs are Break The Ice, Out Of The Shadows and Madness Strikes At Midnight.

I can't agree on Elements being better than twilight, I know it's just opinion, but I felt that ELements 2 was so bad.

I agree with you 100%! But, my fav is Lead Us Into the Light---a very beautiful, emotive song. Hands of Time is on both the 14 Diamonds&Chosen Ones Compilations.

interesting, as all three albums with TT on vocal, that contain a bit different music, significant development is heard since Fright Night. Songs you mentioned are on The Chosen Ones, which is a kind of best of album. I'd add Lead Us Into The Light - one of the best their ballad
So where does the power come from to see the race to its end?

No problem :D There can be lots of things like that. For ex. I can't stand rhapsody's SOEL2 but I have friends who think it's very good...

I think it`s way better than Fright Night, which is waful. Hands of time, Out of the shadows and Lead us into the light are one of Strat`s best, Twilight time and the hills have eyes are weak, the rest is okay.
And I think this album is better than Dreamspace.
