The music is passable, but the singing is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.

Second album in the post-Tolkki era and although it contains the band's traditional power-metal core elements, it does not have the standard Stratovarius high quality levels. Probably the most notable thing is Kupiainen's solid guitar work throughout the whole album and the attempt on the 18-minute monolith title track. Recommendations: "The Game Never Ends", "Event Horizon".

A mildly enjoyable but rather unremarkable power metal album. The instrumentation is great throughout-- particularly the guitar and keyboard-- but most of the tracks are derivative. The ambitious 18-minute title track which closes the album is excellent, however, as is opener "Darkest Hours."

Elysium is an interesting affair in that we get almost as many engaging moments as we do points that just fall flat. There's never an exceedingly bad moment here per se, but even with an 18-minute epic, the entire affairs feels less fulfilling you'd expect.
