Sorry, my computer is slow and doesn't register the vote on the first try! Nice review too: very evocative! :)

Amazing CD!!!!!!Really beautiful! One of the best from the dear old blind:)))

The vote!!!!!!!! Damn, I'm so forgetful!!;P

I used to like episod...now it's worn me out, but I really fell in love with forever, and number 5 speed of light, super fast with solos from super tolki (with those sausages he has, I can't understand how he achieves such speed!) and also with father time and the beautiful night time eclipse (the intro is amazing! If kotipelto had kept quiet, the song would have been divine with that rhythm!)...anyway enough! What the hell do you have against power?? Isn’t there any feeling?? Come on, listen to me: Sonata Arctica and GAMMA RAY (try them if you’ve never heard them...no one can miss Kei Hansen, a guru almost at the level of Bruce Dickinson: he does some crazy high notes!!) ...they're definitely worth listening to!! Come on, don't be mean: never fight over tastes! You can’t change those...! :)

not at all, sengiu bothers me, huh! I'm happy to have a little chat with someone every now and then!! :)

Listen, moon, I don’t like to argue, and I’m the first to apologize if I realize I’ve made a mistake, but in this case, it’s definitely YOU who needs to reread your friendly and super funny little words and draw your own conclusions. I wouldn’t have gotten so angry if you hadn’t started with INSULTS—and I emphasize INSULTS—like “I won’t even respond to you, it’s a waste of breath” or “I’m talking about quality... cheap metal...” etc. We only said “it’s a mess,” and that doesn’t seem like a big insult to me. The brutal ones are the first to say they are followers of the “mess,” and it was just an opinion. Meanwhile, you come in with your general, unassailable statements and heaven help anyone who disagrees with you! You’ve thrown dirt on my favorite genre and expect me to stay quiet and well-behaved without even asking me why?? (And you still haven’t told me... but is there a reason??)
Just for your information, I also understood from the chat that we were joking and I took it lightly, but when I went to read your annoying and irreverent little replies, you completely killed my desire to joke around. I hope we can get past this, but I stand by my opinion that you’ve just been very rude.

In my opinion, Timo's falsetto totally crushes it... Of course, his voice already reaches remarkable highs on its own, but those little screams aren't all completely "natural" (though I could easily be wrong, it's just my opinion!). As for the album... it was the first metal CD I ever listened to and it turned me into a hardcore fan of the genre: just for this, I give it a solid 5! (What can I say? I'm attached to it! :))

Oooooops! The vote!:)))))))

Indeed, this album still has a bit of a Stratovarius feel (being one of the first, it probably still felt the influence of the power metal giants), but it’s definitely a record worth listening to: gritty and engaging, it paves the way for the subsequent masterpieces by Sonata, all characterized by a much more personal and refined style! I really love "Kingdom for a Heart!" (especially the slow part, which fits in nicely!) Well done on the review!

It’s true: for a bassist, power might not be the best to play.... you’re absolutely right: I was also speaking from a strictly personal perspective: that of the listener and not of the player.... the important thing is that we agree in saying that the CD is an awesome smash-hit! :))))
