| 3.0 good | Antonius | October 26th 22 |
This is the first album without founding member Timo Tolkki in the lineup and with the exception of guitar parts which do not carry the same neo-classical shredding, the overall result sounds like classic Stratovarius. Kotipelto continues stretching his vocal range, Johansson's fusion keyboard style dress the songs beautifully while Michael's drumming carries the usual double bass attack. Recommendations: "Deep Unknown", "Higher We Go", "Winter Skies", "Falling Star"

A more than passable album from a seemingly very long-standing band. This album provides the usual mix of fast, more powerful songs (see Deep Unknown, Falling Star) with slower ballad-esque songs such as Somehow Precious.
This album is just... good. Not great. Just good. The singer's voice sometimes I enjoy and others just irritates my ears. For this as my first Stratovarius purchase, they seem to be somewhat an aquired taste.
