I guess Matos' voice is hard to get into if you're new to the sound.Balu wrote:Pretty much an average Strato song with a lot worse musicians. Especially Matos, such a terrible voice (even though he's technically good).
The song is uninspired overall. But then you have Fields of Avalon and Come by the Hills, which are the samples we have listened to. Neither of those comes to offer anything new, in my humble opinion. The first with those verses we've also heard a THOUSAND times and it's Avantasia's "Shelter From the Rain" esque chorus that makes me think Matos really liked to perform that song with Sammet during the Avantasia tour back in 2008. Come by the hills sounds chessy, EXTREMELY cheesy and weak. Many could be excited about the sound of Fields of Avalon, but the fact that a song is fast and catchy does not make it good and innovative.adrian9 wrote:what rip off!! is the same exactly chorus!!, I swear to god is in the same exact note and then the high octave...fuck......Febo wrote:Imo, te song is nothing above average...
I've listened to that chorus before... (Revolution, evolution, Revolution renaissance, Revolution, evolution, Finding our way back to light, Revolution, resolution, Revolution renaissance,, Revolution, resolution, Out of the darkest night).
I hate comparisons, but I'd say this song is a joke next to Elysium's title track.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... 
I think I'll pass... but, waiting for the rest of the album... to give it a second chance!yeah is a mix between RR and Vision songs, but your are right some other samples sound better......stratodan1990 wrote:It is VERY similar indeed. But never the less, some of the other samples sounded better. I'll give it a try when they're released.
3:45 - has a good melody there that could've been expanded on. Good solos there, like the video game sounding part.
Too much 'Visions' for my own good :crazy1:That sounds like two fat opera singers fucking.
Matos' voice isn't weird or anything, just plain simply bad.NeverendingAbyss wrote:I guess Matos' voice is hard to get into if you're new to the sound.Balu wrote:Pretty much an average Strato song with a lot worse musicians.

But the rest of the band are well-respected in my book.

I noticed the damn autotune toorikkertje wrote:Cool music. Only reason I'm not buying this CD is Matos. What a terrible, whiny, thin, annoying voice he has. Yuck.
Oh, and Matos is SO HEAVILY AutoTuned in the In Paradisum song.

It's better than most of any of his stuff after 2003, though.

The setlist in this thread seems to be incomplete, the song in youtube is quite clearly Pilgrim Road.
Sounds nice, wish i'd have been there.
it summarizes my thoughts. not bad but not so good as well... I don't like background choruses and matos performance either... I'll wait for the whole album with the right soundSusie wrote:

Maybe it's better in good album quality. Now it actually isn't that bad here. Still I dislike the high vocals, sounds like a siren
