I guess most South American people in here will agree with me, since the band is HUGE in South America/Spain/Greence/Italy. This is a ridiculously good album. I love Stratovarius, because they are just that good, particularly due to Timo/Timo as in Timo Kotipelto and Timo Tolkki. Now that Tolkki is gone, Kotipelto is still in the band and owning shit up. This guy has one of the best voices in metal for real.
Check out one of my older blogs for further reference for when he OWNED finnish TV.
Btw, I'm drunk. My girl just fell asleep from "enough" wine and everything is awesome in general =) Drunken ramblings that I will never succumb to may or may not include "you only live one time" and the likes.
But it's true. Fucking live your life people.
Just to throw a video in here: This guy has a sick range! 4 octaves ftw. Also my friends told me he has studied vocals at a prestigieous (sp?) school in Helsinki.

Yeah Tolkki seems to be a douche, and Kotipelto owns everyone and their moms. I love his voice.
Yeah Johansson/Tolkki made up a big part of Strato...I know what you mean. I miss the old Stratovarius
Btw I want Intothewow's opinion on this, cuz I've seen him have a good taste in music in older threads. Everyone else is of course welcome to comment too =)

Oh yeah Destiny is friggin awesome! So many good moments on that album
I've listened to their new album quite some times now and the tracks that stand out immediately are the title track and "Winter skies" imo. Your thoughts?
It's a damn good album as a whole though, Kotipelto rules.
Stratovarius is cool, but it mostly sounds like Yngwie Malmsteen's stuff, nothing really new or original. It's no coincidence that Jens Johansson (the keyboardist, and one of best keyboardists in metal music of all times) used to play with Yngwie.
I remember trying to emulate the "Jens lead" myself few years ago
I'm generally not a metal fan, but this is a really easy to listen to song, and it sounds great. Generally to me, for a lot of metal, it is just really hard to get used to, and either sounds like noise or just scary.
fuck power metal, these assholes come in with their EPIC super HIGH WoW playing ballading voices and screw everything up, I acknowledge his voice being very good and i know its a skill to have sucha good voice but please people, this is some pussy metal, please please stop praising stratovarius for being so metal when its not, its almost as gay as dragonforce and everyone knows how extremely annoying dragonforce is. Same with scar symmetry, fuck scar symmetry.

Power metal can be good; Helloween is pretty awesome.

I know I'm more KVLT than you are (Go listen to some Tvangeste and come back), and I listen to all genres of metal. Expand your horizons. There are power metal bands that don't sound like Edguy, that are awesome.

Listen to Dragonland - Cassiopaeia.
Oh wow Aegraen, your so "kvlt". You listen to a shitty black metal band. Stop acting all high and mighty, and stop posting terrible bands/songs. Dragonland is shit.

And what bands do you generally listen to?
Dragonland has enormous talent, you may not like them, but they aren't shit and Tvangeste is extremely talented (especially considering its a one man band). Why do you think both bands score in the high 80's to low 90's on metal-archives.

Oh, so your one of those guy's who goes by the reviews on metal-archives, and then jumps on their bandwagons eh. Think for yourself. M-A is entertaining, but it's a terrible way to read up on albums. Also, Talent =/= Good music. Look at PsyOpus for example. Talented musicians, shit for music.

And yeah I acknowledge Stratovarius not being a bad ass death metal band. They are very melodic and stuff and I like everything from Mariah Carey to Gorgoroth, lol.

Listen to Dragonland - Cassiopaeia.
What does KVLT mean?
'troo black metal'
None of the subgenres of black metal, just straight black.
I for one think that all metal that came up in this thread is absolutely terrible. Doesn't matter which sub genre. So you should all unite and flame me, rather than each other!

Nope, I listen to music that pleases the ear. I was merely pointing out that they get good reviews and it's a consensus that their extremely talented and produce fine music.

How is it a consensus when only 5-10 people at max review most albums.

Oh...I get it...kvlt = cult, but all black metal'd out.
God, that's gay. Anyone who calls themselves "KVLT" is no better than the indie and scene kids who prance around in their retarded indie clothes and mannerisms.
Really...can't you just like...listen to your music and be chill?
