Stratovarius 'Polaris'

[fool_in_paradise]

I'll agree the intro did sound like United Alliance by PM a bit but it's still very much Stratovarius. I like both bands so a combination of the two doesn't matter to me

Crikey that is a belting song. Those vocals are signature.

 

[Andiferum]

Ok, this album is amazing.

 

[1928]

Listening for the first time now. I'm about halfway through, but so far it's been absolutely solid. I didn't know what to expect from a Strato album without Tolkki, but so far this album's sounded better than their past several albums put together.

Well I am certainly looking forward to the show on Monday after hearing the new album!

 

[1928]

I'm jealous of you! I may be seeing them in Chicago this September but it's still up in the air... I'm dying to see these guys though, I lost my mind last year when they said they split up for good because I thought I'd never see them!

 

[Alcaline]

I am so ultimately gutted I can't make it.

Especially since the new album is so devastatingly good. I want to sing along to higher we go!

 

[1928]

Yea, each time I listen to it, I like it more and more. Forever Is Today has the perfect sound that Stratovarius is known for, that chorus is so damn good.

 

[looseunit]

the drumming is great , im loving this album very much, Timo is spot on as well !!!

lots of double kick - cant beat that !!! Jorg is on fire on this album

Forever is Today - the catchiest song for sure man that chorus kicks serious butt

i saw these guys on friday at the wulfrun in wolverhampton. they were awesome! new guiatrist although looked a little nervy is a fantasic player. if you get the chance to see them . . . GO! firewind are were a great support aswell. Top Gig!

 

[Andiferum]

Ignore Kerrang's frankly despicable review of the album. It's awesome.

 

[Symphony]

Hope everyone enjoys the London show tonight.....I was planning on going but am currently still in the office so I wouldn't even be able to get to London until 7pm at the earliest. Grr!

 

[fool_in_paradise]

Haven't got my pre-ordered copy yet but from the reaction here and some reviews i've read sounds like it's awesome

I feel your pain.

 

[Andiferum]

Shame I couldn't see either of you Had a great time. Was lucky enough to have meet & greet with the guys and they were very nice!

[Symphony]

Nice one Andy!

 

[1928]

omg

 

[The Crystal King]

Going to go to the show tonight in Dublin, can't wait

One of my friends has the new album on his ipod, and listening to it yesterday, a lot of us in the band felt it was the best Strato album... ever! I still can't claim this to be true, as I haven't listening properly yet.. but definitely it's the best since Infinite.

Fairylands new album is, imo, the best this year

Had a great time. Was lucky enough to have meet & greet with the guys and they were very nice!
