We need to see the complete performance!! AMAZING.

DUDE!! The organ sounds so incredible.

Wow, that song kills live Powerful as hell. I'd have loved to see Matias' solo :luv1:

Instant classic
Koti seems to be much better

Kotipelto sounds awful during the chorus IN STUDIO. I don't want to imagine how bad he sounds in it live, especially considering he sounded awful during that entire video.

The song would be perfect if it were not for the chorus though.

Probablymy least fav song on Elysium.

I'd rather hear The game never ends and Move the mountain

I love the song, it's actually one of my favorites on the album, I enjoy many of the progressive elements in it.

I'm sure that live kotipelto puts on a great performance.

This just came in

I don't really like Timo's voice on the chorus, but I think is overall good. The final chorus is better than the first one.

I agree

This is from Bogotá, I think regarding the chorus TK did very well this time. Unfortunately the audio quality is meh

the game never ends is the only fresh song on that album, move the mountain is , sorry jens, dull.

shit dude, I don't see how that's even possible. IMO that's one of the top 5 songs the band has ever made

I thought the whole album kicked ass, who cares if it wasn't as you put it "Fresh".

I only care that what I hear coming out of my stereo sounds awesome

well, I dont expect maiden to sound "fresh" for example, I expect a Maiden record, but if you dig in the songs they always come up with great stuff between their trademark songwriting. that keeps the band new and interesting.
I certainly dont want copycats of black diamonds, or Hunting in evry strato record.
like I said elysium got that something, that polaris didnt., nevertheless, some songs are...well.......not that great,like move the moutain-

True but I also can't express emotion in text so if I sounded upset I really wasn't, just trying to make an observation.

I agree I always like it when a band does something new and inventive however if they happen to come out with an album that sounds similar to another it doesn't bother me.
