Top 5:
Episode (this though being my all-time favourite!)
Visions
Intermission
Stratovarius II/Twilight Time
Stratovarius
Others:
Infinite
Elements pt1
Fourth Dimension
Dreamspace
Elements pt2
Destiny
Fright Night

there are different albums I like in the same way...
So:
1st level:
Visions, 4th Dim, Episode, Destiny
2nd
Infinite, Dreamspace, Twilight Time
3rd
Intermission, Elements pt. 2
4th
Elements part 1
5th
FN and Stratovarius
note: 5th level do not mean that I dislike those albums

1) Episode
2) Elements pt1
3) Visions
4) Infinite, 4th Dimension
5) Twilight Time, Destiny, Elements pt2
6) Stratovarius
I haven't heard Dreamspace or Fright Night yet, Intermission doesn't really count as an album, I consider it a 'collection' disc, as I do Visions of Europe.
I guess this list is more of a 'how much I listen to this album' one.

Based on ONE song?

I have not even heard the song, though. Webtv cannot access YouTube. I'll ask my son to listen&tell me what he thinks. The title of the song sounds awesome!

I mean Stratovarius-album of course! The R...R... album cannot be the newest as it isn´t released yet. Ever thought about that.

Haha, right, we played this a thousand of times before, but since the last time is quite some days left behind, I participate.

Actually, I will never understand why people (and TT *g*) don't like the last album. IMO it's a good piece of rock music, not Stratovarius typical, but really good.
So, my ranking is:
1.)Visions
2.)Episode
3.)Infinite
Stratovarius
5.)Intermission
Destiny
4th Dimension
8.)Elements Pt.2
9.)Elements Pt.1
10.)Dreamspace
Twilight Time
12.)Fright Night

Not true, my friend, not true.
Btw, for me it's also interesting to see that some of you don't put "Visions" even under the Top5. For me (and I thought for almost every Stratovarius-Fan) "Visions" is simply the outstanding masterpiece of this band, and one of the best albums of all ages.

OOPS! Goldie Hawn syndrome strikes again!

My Mom dropped me on my head when I was a baby.

Well, I have to have some excuse.
btw, anymore guesses for RR? I believe RR is RockNRoll like I believe Cheesecake is not fattening!

Well after all that guessing (we had an own topic for that, or not?) I would propose to quit all this hick-hack and simply wait. I wouldn't be suprised if TT and the other guys are a little bit nerved with that.

@Stratofanius, I hope your rating methods do not become standard across the whole Music industry!

I mean, Elvis&Buddy Holly would roll over in their graves!

why anybody doesn't like of elements pt.2. okay. I don't mean you don't like in that way but in every list it's position is some between 8 and 10. I've got maybe the highest position of it. 5th. Okay. I think the boys in the band doesn't like it( but I don't mean that they hate it) either but what is the "promblem". i was just wondering
I'm hunting high and low

Every other CD just had more good songs on it than Elements 2.
