Agreed. But I finally want to hear somethink like "All Opposable Thumbs" from Jens again. Damn, he should make another solo album.ggonza43 wrote:As far as I'm concerned, a power metal melody consists of both guitar and keyboard.

So I think I'll have the album in my hands on 11-12 cause in France, amazon.fr the release date is 10/01. Let's hope it's true! I want it on 14 in my hands cause I wanna listen to the album while travelling to Madrid to see the show!

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
I will post pictures from the show, just like last year, of course! If you want from the cd too, ok jaja. Anyway this time I will buy two normal editions, cause I want it soon. The only edition I like apart from the normal is the japanese one, and that will be in next weeks.ggonza43 wrote:Lucky bastard that lives near France! Give us your opinion then, and some images

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
Here we have a new interview with Jens in Swedish. From what I can judge (google translator didn't let me down too much this time
) it's quite interesting.

Well, almost the whole interview is about the maniac dance Stratovarius had and that Jens was very lazy while composing for Elysium, but Matias was plenty of ideas. That scares me cause if Jens is lazy...means that he is not happy with Stratovarius?!
Interesting too, the part when he says that they could have had a big chance to became really famous with the Sactuary deal.

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
"Lazy" in composing? No, I didn't get that kind of impression while reading, maybe it's the translator which gave you that feeling (I hope so)?
I understood that (no news) all of them had lots of ideas, mainly Matias and then Lauri, but that Jens also wrote more than we can hear on the album now, but he had been busy with other issues...?

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
I meant this line:
In spanish it says the sameI was lazy this time.. Matias, by contrast, had much to say. He wrote 45 minutes music, and Lauri wrote 30 minutes.

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
Doubt that. It's totally normal that someone is lazy, actually, it's abnormal if someone isn't.RazielSR wrote:Well, almost the whole interview is about the maniac dance Stratovarius had and that Jens was very lazy while composing for Elysium, but Matias was plenty of ideas.

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
the comment about Jari is consistent with what I've heard before. In case Google Translate is unclear, Tolkki allegedly told the band one day, "Either fire Jari or I'm leaving"
Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
The German translation gave me more of an impression that he was kind of lazy there, cause he was somehow busy otherwise - but re-reading it now, I think you're right, it's meant the way you understand it.RazielSR wrote:I meant this line:In spanish it says the sameI was lazy this time.. Matias, by contrast, had much to say. He wrote 45 minutes music, and Lauri wrote 30 minutes.
But still, I wouldn't read more into it.
German translation actually is totally queer there, but yeah, something like "don't want so see him again in my life"Rebel wrote:the comment about Jari is consistent with what I've heard before.

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
No matter what you think, never trust Google Translator. Jens might have got a lil lazy, but no reason to worry about...At least that's how I see it

Re: New album "Elysium", Jan 12 2011. Single on Nov 26
I've noticed that i really like the vocals on this album, same thing with Polaris. It always seemed to me that Tolkki was trying to get that immensly high pitch off of TK and now he himself has more control over it.
