Right. I think too that Twilight Time is better than Dreamspace. Weird and horrible songs like Full Moon, Thin Ice and Atlantis are songs that I just can't listen...
Full Moon and Thin Ice, OK (even though I like the latter) but Atlantis ?? This one is not "weird" at all :/

Maybe it is not weird but it's so boring and stupid instrumental, and the melody? Simply and again BORING :x !

Can a minishort instrumental be boring? For me it sounds then very strange. :crazy1: A boring song is usually too long and slow or too fast or solos are long and progressive. :roll:

+ Forever Free... *uhh*

Agreed here. To put it short: Soul of a Vagadond.
Vocals higher than the highest are also boring as hell! Like Find Your Own Voice, almost ridiculous, IMO!

Soul of a Vagabond is awesome! Ok, Elements pt.1 is not very good album (the worst or 2nd worst album of Strato) but SOAV is very very good!

And back to Atlantis - i don't want to translate this for english, but btw this is my opinion of this song: Atlantis on naurettava täytekappale, jonka tekemiseen ei selvästikään ole tuhlattu aikaa minuuttia kauempaa.

If i don't count Full Moon, Thin Ice and Atlantis, Dreamspace is good album, but in my opinion Twilight Time is much better. There are songs like The Hands of Time, Madness Strikes at Midnight, Twilight Time and Out of the Shadows. Only song that I don't like in Twilight Time is Metal Frenzy...

^ WTF? SOAV is boring? How come you can't appreciate good progressive music? That is one of the most original and innovative Strato. songs I've ever heard. Someone said they don't like Find Your Own Voice because of the high singing. Well, if you'd learn how to listen to music you'd hear how all of the instruments including Kotipelto's voice all coincide together, then maybe you could get past the high singing and appreciate things like the shredding guitar riffs and awesome drums/drum fills in that song. Someone said they don't like Forever Free because it has a long solo? You obviously like Stratovarius for other reasons than the instuments. And @ MafiaBoy: Will you please just shut the fuck up about not liking Father Time? I've got the fucking point that you don't like Father Time in about every fucking thread you've posted in.
