That's good for you.
I, and more people here, didn't. And let us tell you the album rocks.
Can't wait to have the physical CD in my hands though!

Oh, btw, Fireborn and Hunter are really cool too.
Fireborn is in line with Halcyon Days. Synths everywhere. But then the chorus takes it back to old fashioned Stratovarius sing-along chanting. Love it.
Hunter has this suprisingly hard rock-ish intro. TK's voice in the verses is great. The chorus is too high for him though. Cool after-chrous choir parts.

As of right now, I think Halcyon Days is the one I've enjoyed the most. The electronic sounds just make it sound so fresh and agresive... there's however one reason why I'm still not voting.
From 3:51 to 3:54, Timo's voice has a very odd effect. Almost auto-tune sound like. And it's REALLY distracting, since it's the only time in the entire album that it happens. Maybe it was intentional... but I don't know... I feel it weird.
I'm still in the process of understanding all the songs, but I think I pretty much like them all. It's just that for now, Halcyon Days is the song I listen to the most from the album.
No need to feel so afraid, colors last a lifetime and fade to gray...

I'm not gonna lie, I downloaded the album. But I've been here long enough to where everyone knows that as soon as the album comes out, off I go to buy a copy. Always have, always will.
That being said, I love the new album and can't wait to hold an honest-to-goodness copy in my hands!
Favorite song...I think it's still too soon to pick one favorite. There isn't a bland song in the bunch, if that says anything. "Dragons" kicks ass. I think "Stand my Ground" is gonna be an awesome live song. Love "Halcyon Days" and think it's a great choice for second single. "If the Story is Over" is a Stratoballad at its finest and damn near made me cry the first time I heard it. The title track is excellent. "Fantasy" almost hearkens to Strato of old (I want to say it sounds like something that could have easily been on Infinite).
The rest of the songs are f*ckin' killer and I love 'em all.

If the Story is Over has to be the best ballad Strato has ever written.
Almost gets those tears flowing.

I still enjoying A LOT this album. Now I can say that it is in their top 4 or even top 3 for me. I can't stop listening to Stand my ground, what an incredible song! To hear the album from beginning to end is an amazing trip.

Agreed. The first half of the album is growing on me and I'm thinking Nemesis is Strato's best so far. Also, all four bonus tracks are breathtaking, the best bonuses since Ride Like the Wind

I loved the whole album from the first time listening.
Don't really favourite a single song. The whole album screams "F**k yeah! We're back - STRONGER THAN EVER! And that's what it is!
