I would have liked to have Castaway as part of the main album instead.

Event Horizon: Castaway sounds more like a modern re imagining of Black Diamond so I prefer it being a bonus track. I feel like Event Horizon fills the gap quite nicely before Move the Mountain with the change in style and with the build up to Elysium.

I also think that Event Horizon should stay on the album. Castaway, as Krigo stated, reminds a bit of Black Diamond. Besides, EH fits in much more than Castaway. I find this bonus track less spectacular although I really love both songs I wish Stratoguys had placed them both on the album

I loved event horizon I felt it has more "fresh" elements and experimentation than cast away. but cast away is.....

First time I listened to Castaway, I thought that it was a Black Diamond parody.

I told 'em the same...

Guess who's the castaway who likes castaway

But it seems they did well in putting Event Horizn there then

What song should Stratovarius cover on the next album?

Arnold Layne

This. I'm actually not a fan of any of Elysium's bonus tracks, they all sound very subpar for Stratovarius and given the other material that made the album I'm surprised at how unlikeable they are.
