I think that's what I meant by my "boner" post! I was too drunk for the right words. So thank you my friend, you are genius!

I really think that these genre's are making a strong comeback.

2009 is definitely the year for these genre's

Lauri, I believe you just have too much free time... jajaja

Thanx for that little taste of what you are doing... although I'm just waiting for a video or at least one complete single. I also can´t wait til the 21 May!!!

(And the videos are funny)

You've obviously never recorded an album

The song @ about 1 minute of the song is so written by Jens or at least has quite a lot of influence by him. And the part at 2:20 reminded me of some of Jens' solo material. AMAZING stuff!

Love it

Well, to me, the video is very nice. Music and everything... I see the guys having fun, but still I can't help myself, it lacks some spirit... it bears some marks of dullness in my opinion. Not regarding the music, not shooting. Just the atmosphere.
Don't blame me, I just wanted to say this. Im looking forward to hear the album.

RazielSR · Post by **RazielSR** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 7:44 pm

Mystical, that lack maybe is in your mind (don't get me wrong). You know, when you are used to see a band with a line-up and now you see another, these kind of things you are feeling are normal sometimes.

Wait man, wait and see. They are fantastic and maybe that "lack" will dissapear for you, believe me.

I had that feelings some months ago, but not now.

Mystical · Post by **Mystical** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 9:16 pm

I am not saying that they are not fantastic. I have the best hopes for the coming Polaris

Metalcentral · Post by **Metalcentral** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 1:21 am

Lauri is my new idol for sure! Seems to be a real funny guy!
I really hope that the last song is a song that will end up on the album. Sounds really good!

plus that this band played a very structured kind of music and without big changes album to album (except "stratovarius").
This album means so much in the fact that Stratovarius (and TT) is open to a new world, and for me is an amazing feeling

I believe that Polaris will certainly be a radical departure from the previous self-titled Stratovarius.

If some of the newer tracks sound a bit frantic it would not be a bad thing- since lots of good metal could easily fall under that description. Moreover, these guys probably have a lot of pent up energy, ideas, and expressions that otherwise might have never made it onto a Strato release if Tolkki was still at the helm.

RazielSR · Post by **RazielSR** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:04 am

But, people, which are the main differences you can find by listening/viewing to the video? I said it seems we are gonna have more keyboards because well, we can hear a lot of keyboard in the video. And faster guitars, because fast guitar is sounding too in the video. Well, there are some slow sounds too...

But, what do you think about the whole thing?

StratoBOB · Post by **StratoBOB** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:55 pm

Sounds really cool. I smeels more keyboards in Dreamspace style. Great!

Polaris · Post by **Polaris** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:40 pm

Just Amazing.
This is the album I have been waiting for a loong time!!!

Hey Jens! You said some months ago that you were using Kotipelto's KARMA as a controller. Are you still gonna take the DX-7 on tour?

STRATO RULE!

eternity_strato · Post by **eternity_strato** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 3:09 am

Like someone said, not only it sounds better than any RR song, also it seems to have the classic strato sound.

Although I think that without Tolkki this can't be stratovarius, this sounds really really well!

hiro23 · Post by **hiro23** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 8:04 am

it sounds just as it's meant to be

Like A Stratovarius Album

I would also like to mark the day I saw that video to be the first day I've ever seen Jens' teeth.

Seriously.

hiro23 · Post by **hiro23** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 3:41 am

Really? I saw his teeth a lot on the old Yngwie malmsteen band pictures

Azenkayst · Post by **Azenkayst** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:41 am

Yeah, I`ve already seen Jens`s teeth.

But I never heard his voice ._.! Hey Jens! =D Lauri should interview you on next video! =D

I own almost every Yngwie album, and I've never looked inside a single one of the booklets, and I've never looked at old band photos. xD

I saw Jens in the Lock Up the Wolves album booklet by Dio...but that's the only part of the album I remember Jens being in, because I certainly didn't hear him in the music. Way to shaft one of the hottest keyboardists of the time, Dio.

hiro23 · Post by **hiro23** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 10:07 am

If I pissed you off I didn't mean to, I was just saying that I've seen the old band photos of Jens that's all

No, I was just joking about my anger towards Dio and my hate for Lock Up the Wolves. I'll never use the "

" face and mean it.

Oh come on! Okay, maybe you can't really hear Jens, but the album is still great and Dio rocks!

Lock Up The Wolves is great.

Compared to Angry Machines.

Haha, I noticed that too. Jens, would you be kind enough to tell us in which songs you actually played anything. Or did you?
