I just noticed that too! Why does no one talk about it? Why aren't there already millions of scientist doing re-search on it? This is a scandal! A meteor propably hit the earth and we didn't even notice it!

Does the lady on the cover symbolize Mother Gaia? ??? She has some kind of symbol on her forehead.

To me good piece of art (such as a cover picture) contains lot of questions
and very few answers. I think everybody can find out what they mean for themselves.

Everybody can most likely get a different meaning from it.

Looks good, looks good. I'll surely miss the lily of course, but, hey! Now we got a metallized version of the name. Shu, fungus, I'll take it.

Cover looks awesome!!!

First, "Stratovarius II" is an important part of the bands history, and therefore should always be mentioned in their discography.
And second, if you want to think it that way, "Twilight time" is a renamed "Stratovarius II", not opposite.
You could as well say that Twilight Time is the corrected name, since it came later. If it's the same album, I don't see why keep both listed.
They are the same album. And two Wikipedia pages for one album just is very stupid. Like I said, I merged them together. There is now 1 articel called "Twilight Time (album)" which contains information about both albums.
Great.

Awesome!!

I especially like these facts:

1.) The cheesy cover artworks from Derek Riggs are past.

2.) Finally an album with more than only 9 songs, like on all the last albums from the Tollki era.

3.) The planet on the cover looks a little bit like Coruscant. :D

4.) You have chosen a Hungarian artist! 8)

How is that a fact, and not your opinion, that his covers are cheesy?

Do people really spend a lot of time on cover art anyway? I know that I spend more of my time with the music than the cover. with digital music downloads, I’m sure a lot of people don't even have the covers as well as not even having full albums as they can just pick as choose the songs they like for a cheaper price per song.

Once again it's all about personal taste, some like the Derek riggs covers for Stratovarius and some don't.

Eddie is great. But the whole 3d stuff he did is just bad.

I don’t think professionals in the field would call his technique bad. He easily fits in with the work of professional artists in movies and video games.

I thought the cover of Dance of Death was a bad joke, at first. It's a killer album, so I've sort of forgotten it, but still...

He did some really nice stuff for Strato though. I love the Elements pt1 cover.

So what? I don't like it. I think all the 3D stuff he did is horrible. He should go back to drawing the covers.
