"Freedom" was not a big favorite of mine at first but now I'm getting more into it these days.

Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
Nice topic.
I didn't like We Hold The Key at first (don't shoot me, don't shoot me!)
Now, it's one of my favorites.
The same happened with Father Time and 4th Reich.

Wings of Tommorrow... I never really listened to it for a while becuase the 80's keyboard styling horns in the beginning made me think the whole song was gonna sound the same... but after a while I listened to the whole dreamspace album from start to finish and I found it to be way tight in its own way...
Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
That`s tough to answer. Because some songs - in various genres - need more time to do their "click" in your head.
But I have to say I didn`t like the whole Destiny album at first, now I love all songs except three of `em.

Thin Ice :p It isn't one of my favourites but I like it quite much now.

Same. And now it's my all-time favourite Stratovarius song.Wanderer wrote:The Kiss of Judas: When I heard it for the first time I didn't even listen it to the end.. But now I listen it every time when I listen to Strato.
Season of Change didn't open in first times, but now it's veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery good, also in my all time favourites.
+ All songs (expect The Hands of Time) of Twilight Time
+ Some songs of Visions (now it's best album in the world and all songs are GREAT)
+ Slow songs of Episode
+ Others...
And now they are my favourites...
Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
Probably "Seasons Of Faith Perfection". I really hated the opening, especially the singing, but nowadays I just love that song. One of my fave ballad songs of Strato, with "Mother Gaia" (also one song that I couldn't stand at first)
And maybe the same feeling with "Drop In The Ocean".
At first I thought that this song was weak and boring, but it's really interesting. The chorus is definitely one of the best that Strato ever recorded.

Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
Same here. Now I love that song and listen that every time when I listen Episode/Visions of Europe. The same feeling I had with Night Time Eclipse too. But actually there are many songs which didn´t open to me when hearing them first times, but which I like now much. Just have to say Stratovarius has so much good/very good songs. There are only a few bad ones of which you already can guess which they are. (not 030366 though, it´s goodStratofanius wrote:Yes, at the first times.

Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
I did not like 0303066 at first because of the weird sound, but it grows on ya. I like it now.
I did not like the first album, but its really OK now. I think its fine.

Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
im surprised, some of you guys did not like some of the songs i loved the first time i heard them, (kiss of judas, most importantly), but liked songs i really dont like (seasons of faith perfection, we hold the key [yes i dont really like it]) in the end, i dont think it matters, though, its strato love it or hate it (gasp)

Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
I didn't like Black Diamond very much. No it is ok for me, but not the best fast song of Stratovarius (Speed of Light, Find Your Own Voice and the great old ones: Hands of Time and Chasing Shadows)
And I liked False Messiah but I don't like it now.

Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
When I heard Startovarius for the first time, I didn't like them in general. I showed my friend "Forever Free" and he thought the key change where Koti's singing goes a little higher was really gay. I thought so too, and I put the CD away for a long time. I didn't like power metal in general. It was a combination of things that made me like Strato for sure though. Then, in the end, it was Tolkki's amazing composition skills that made me love them so much today. I really like Kotipelto's singing and power metal now. I'm still not into any of the Ballads though.

Re: who here loves strato songs that u didnt stand at first
I wasn't impressed by Eternity at first, but now I think it's the best song the band has ever done - hell, possibly even best a Finnish band has ever done.
Hopefully it'll be in the live set on the Hammerfall/Strato tour![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Cant remember. Well Full Moon was crap at first, but I grew into it somehow, so I will listen to it now.

But anyway, I have to mention that Fright Night was first an album which I really didn´t understand much. It sounded too much like a young band´s demo (though TT´s guitar solos sounded already fine). But now also this has opened to me and I like it more. Darkness is e.q. a very good song. So, only Destiny is an album, which hasn´t opened me totally yet.

I don't like many of the Elements I songs at all--the earlier Stratovarius stuff I like much more. But, I grew to enjoy listening to both the Elements CDs the more I have listened.

Season Of Change is the best song ever.
Especially that live-version of it.
But it's true that when I heard it first time I didn't like it very much.
