Best post-Tolkki songs
It's have been about five years since Tolkki left Stratovarius. After that Strato have released three albums and 42 songs (bonus and mixed tracks included, you are able to correct me if I counted wrong). I think it's a good time to make some kind of "best of" list. So let's make top 20 list. To me personally it's very hard but I try to.
Here is my list:
1. Castels In The Air
2. Halcoyn Days
3. Out Of The Fog
4. Darkest Hours
5. Stand My Ground
6. Under Flaming Skies
7. If The Story Is Over
8. Nemesis
9. Elysium
10. Unbreakable
11. One Must Fall
12. Move The Mountain
13. Abandon
14. Deep Unknown
15. Winter Skies
16. The Game Never Ends
17. King Of Nothing
18. Somehow Precious
19. Infernal Maze
20. Fairness Justified
After the first ten it got very hard to list those songs. There are some songs in the end which could be in higher position and vice versa. If I make it again later it would be maybe a bit different, but I'm pretty sure that the songs I included now would be there later.

Re: Best post-Tolkki songs
20 songs out of 42? I mean I like all of the songs on all three albums, but choosing the better half is a bit much.

Re: Best post-Tolkki songs
From Polaris : Deep Unknown + Winter Skies
From Elysium : Elysium + Infernal Maze
PS: Under Flaming Skies fits perfectly live, and it's, for me, a good option too.
From Nemesis: Castles In The Air and Stand My Ground.
PS: Unbreakable live is bombastic!
I personally think that those 3 albums are better than Elements Pt.I, Elements Pt.II and Stratovarius, and perhaps Elysium the best since 1998 and Nemesis since 1997. Way to go!

Re: Best post-Tolkki songs
Disagree on the first but agree on the second. I think Nemesis contends with Episode and Elements Pt. 1 as the best Stratovarius album of all time. Elysium is definitely Destiny-level material. Polaris isn't as good but it's still pretty fun to listen to and if I learned anything from Jens, it's to be happy in every single location, every single time of day.Shogakat wrote:

Age is irrelevant if you have a huge penis.
