Really really good songs!

Well, I think that Kotipelto compositions are not Stratovarius-like compositions. Sometimes people use to compare it to Strato power metal songs... I like very much his stuff, and for me their best songs are:

1- Last Defender (Serenity).
2- Mr. Know it All (Serenity).
3- Coldness of My Mind (Coldness).

I like "Waiting For The Dawn2 too. But as a solo albums I like too much "Coldness" for the feeling that has all the album. Dark, obscure, but deep.

Serenity is his best album, by far. I hope someday he'll release a new album.

In no particular order

Serenity
Reasons
Angels will Cry

In YES! particular order.

Not an easy decision.

1. Battle of the Gods (so f'ing epic)
2. Around
3. Lord of Eternity

That said, I think Serenity is the best album. Last Defender is indeed fantastic, I remember I used to listen to it over and over and over...

1. Waiting for the Dawn (album)
2. Coldness (album)
3. Serenity (album)

In other words, every f*cking song is my favorite. Timo K. could sing the phone book and I would love it.

1. Serenity
2. King Anti-Midas
3. Reasons

Man, it's hard listing just three songs, if I could I'd list the entire of the Serenity album! Easily one of my favorite albums of all time.

chosen by re
dreams and reality

I didn't know people liked the Serenity album so much.
To me it has a bunch of excellent songs and then really weak fillers. Coldness on the other hand is amazing and Waiting for the Dawn could very well be a strato-album.

Last defender, Movement of the Nile, Beauty has come.

Serenity
Seeds of sorrow

I've always been a big fan of his work.

(Movement of the Nile is a masterpiece!)

Hell yes, I guess I would put that in the top 5, if not the top 3.

Last Defender

Can You Hear The Sound

Mr. Know It All and Seeds Of Sorrow following

I also love "can you hear the sound"

I would put that in my list as well as a close second to the others.

Those days that Timo is playing acoustic gigs with Jani Liimatainen are a good chance to listen live some Kotipelto songs!

Here is "Beauty Has Come"

That's a good one, I wonder what Jani is up to these days.

Kiitos, Shogakat!

Take me away

Take me away was another one I really liked and debated over whether to put it in my list.

Beauty has come
After the rain
Can you hear the cats fucking.

I thought you only can listen to dog fucking

It's hard not to listen the cats when they fuck outside my window. At 3am, mostly.

How's mishka the antrophomorphised wolf/dog? Does she... have a Dogfriend?

Jäjä, she has!
