"Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
Everything the band says is spot on. Apparently Ear doesn't want reviews published until closer to the release, but the band does a really good job of describing the album in that vid
They let us have signatures on this forum???

This is so damn good... I need more time with it, but it's once again really fresh powerful music.
No need to feel so afraid, colors last a lifetime and fade to gray...

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
The songs really give me a Destiny/Infinite vibe. Sounds like this is the album that could've been released in stead of Elements! I LOVE it!
Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
Feeding The Fire should definitely replace Paradise on future setlists! Same kind of song, same topic, but a much stronger song.
Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist

SHINE ON!
Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
True. But I feel there is so much potential in this album to refresh the setlist. Hope they'll take this chance!

God dammit, I am ashamed that I broke my vow and listened before the album came out. I couldn't resist. Those fucking songs are going to be blaring out of my car for a good long while. My Eternal Dream and Rise Above It, holy shit, CLASSIC STRATOVARIUS.
Eternal is going to fucking rock!

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
I know right! Wait till you hear Few Are Those. If the guys play it enough it can and will be the new Hunting High and Low!
Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
The My eternal dream chorus horns melody sounds like it could be directly taken from a rhapsody album.

I fucking love that noise. I don't think many bands could get away with that type of thing even with power metal but it just works with Stratovarius's sound so well. It sounds like a tune from the Infinite days. Me gusta. Me gusta mucho.fuck wrote:The My eternal dream chorus horns melody sounds like it could be directly taken from a rhapsody album.

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
paradise has great melodies, i like that songs melodies more than any of these.
Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
I liked the melodies when they used to play the song with energy. Now it's just a lackluster mandatory setlist song. Sounds boring and TK isn't able to bring that chorus to full power anymore.icecab21 wrote:paradise has great melodies, i like that songs melodies more than any of these.
I love every bit of these new melodies more than the old ones because they really fit to his voice these days. Listen to the live version of My Eternal Dream. He sings it flawless!

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
Three days to go (Japan release date) and still no album leak! <3 

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
I am sooooo ready for this release.....I order my Japanese version hoping that they may ship it out prior to the release. I have bought two copies plus a digital version. They are keeping this one under wraps as long as they can..... I remember Nemesis leaked like 2 or 3 weeks before.rikkertje wrote:Three days to go (Japan release date) and still no album leak! <3

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
Exactly! I wish for this to not leak though. It's only three days from now.
But the excitement is high. Dunno if I can hold myself back if it would leak before that.

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
Nice review!
And because of it I want to have Eternal in my hands even more!
The first thing I thought when I got through Nemesis for the first time was "this was f*cking great, but al this experimentation really calls for a more back to the roots kind of approach on the next one."
And apparently that is what they did!

Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
They actually put the album available for download on Japanese Amazon last night, I've listened to it today.
Well, I liked it a lot. I think I was a bit more excited about Nemesis, but that is because all those experiments seemed intriguing. Here we have a very classic Stratovarius, although, I think, it is impossible to mistake any track from Eternal for some lost old era song.
I was kinda afraid that Eternal would remain in shadow of the magnificent Stormcrow this year, but Eternal is totally on par. Still, Jani's presence can be felt throughout the album. I haven't seen the credits, but he must have penned several songs. Few Are Those definitely sounds like his work.
My personal highlights are the title track, Rise Above It, In My Line of Work and Few Are Those. Man in the Mirror also stands out, the most modern track on the album, sounds like something between Lifetime in a Moment and Gypsy In Me. Bet it's written by Jens.

I've read on an interview today that Shine in the Dark, In My Line of Work and Few are Those are the Koti-Liimatainen songs of the album. So, you were quite accurate

Are people outside of Japan able to purchase it on Amazon.jp
SHINE ON!
Re: "Eternal" cover art work & tracklist
FEW ARE THOSE!!!
The chorus is practically Hunting High And Low. I hope they play it live. For me they should play everything except the ballad and Lost Saga live!
