As much as I respect other people's opinion, I think you're wrong. This is one of their best albums ever, especially coz a lot of songs on it carry some sort of emotional value that somehow manages to strike a chord with me...

Uuuu bad mood man......i blieve you like stratovarius, so perhaps you may have other albums, so my points that you have to realized that dreamspace, it´s a classical album, in fact is one of the first of the band, so perhaps you should value the album not for the tracks , you should do it for the band, in fact the band has about 20 years of playing so yo have to consider that the album it´s quite old so be good

Dreamspace is one of the best StratoAlbums. I like it very much. Tolkki is very emotive&his voice very expressive on this album. Some of the best StratoSongs are on this album. :rvd:
I will always defend it--so, I will always say it is a good album! :)

Yep- Tears of Ice is the best song--4th Reich is great&Hold on to Your Dream is wonderful. But, so is Eyes of the World&Wings of Tomorrow. Magic Carpet Ride is a nice song, too! :)
In other words, nobody better bash Dreamspace while I am around! ;)
I love that CD, but thats just my opinion!:)

It's understandable that people who love the Kotipelto-era albums might not like the first three albums. They're quite different from the ones after 1994.

I love them all, though :D

Eyes Of The World, Dreamspace, Abyss, Wings Of Tomorrow.

Those four alone make it a great album.

Dreamspace is a good albun, TT have a great perfomance on singing and playing. (I don't speak about composing, TT always the best on that).

I know what you mean, I think it is a little weak, too. Just Fright night and Elements p1 are worse for me. Too few keyboards, so many songs sound too similar.

'Eyes Of The World' sounds like Blackmore's song from late Rainbow period, but I think I've said it before somewhere...

Dreamspace is definitely a classic.
It is an album that, like many masterpieces, gains it's full charisma over time. It sort of.. grows on you.
Each time I put the disc in a CD player and listen to Tolkki's last effort as a singer, Dreamspace sounds finer.

Dreamspace is diferent, more progresive, more dark, more atmosferic, more diverse, not a maistream, comercial album.

Dreamspace is the best track of Stratovarius in mi opinion.

I think its preatty supid... do you like stratovarius because of the songs muscially or because they are just cool guys and the have been playing for 20 years... if he dosent like dreamspace its cool... but he dosent like it because of the SONGS not because of the guys ... SORY if its sound agressive, is not ;)


Personally i like the album, great songs... hopefully i will but it this weekend

I just want to say that Dreamspace and 4th Reich rulz. :D

With Wings Of Tomorrow Stratovarius started to sound more. . . symphonic and I really like that song.

Again: Dreamspace and 4th Reich rulz. :D

There's still some that are poor i think...can't remember which ones i liked though...and does anyone else think 'Hold Onto Your Dream' sounds a lot like 'Paradise'???
