Review : Vision - Stratovarius

In this world doesn't happen very often atleast with me that u stumble upon an album and u find it just amazing and out of the world. And you are hooked on it unbelievably long..and u keep thinking that how many such beautiful peices of cration are out there to explore..one such masterpiece is this album.

In the genre of metal, I have stumbled upon a band which sometimes remind me of Dark Saga's rhythm and melodic, rightly named n categorised into speed/melodic metal. The musicians (Timo Tolkki-guitar, Timo Kotipelto-vocals, Jari Kainulainen-bass, Jens Johansson-Keys (EX-Dio/Yngwie Malmsteen and Jörg Michael-drums (ex-Running Wild) have just done a perfet job creating the album. Timo Kotipelto vocals have depth n his fight for superiority with the Tolkki's guitar n melody of Jens have only added value ot the album. Just perfect..must buy.

Here is the listing of the Songs
1. The Kiss Of Judas
2. Black Diamond
3. Forever Free
4. Before The Winter
5. Legions
6. The Abyss Of Your Eyes
7. Holy Light
8. Paradise
9. Coming Home
10. Visions (Southern Cross)

Total time: 61.06

Steal this album...take my words for it. Btw I have been writing this review in between work..can't oorganize it ...this is a concept album called visions as it's the Stratovarius's reflection of the visions of Nastrodamus.

I shall rate the album 9/10.

One point am taking off coz the songs is because of track called Paradise, the lyrics are really bad, the music is sub-par too, the choruses are the only redeeming aspect and sometimes the album slows down so much..and the Holy Light sounds too much like Dream Theter.
