While Stratovarius bookended this record with two of their greatest songs, the ten-minute "Destiny" and nine-minute "Anthem of the World", there are just too many cheesier pieces one after another in the middle of the album for Destiny to be quite as good as Visions or Dreamspace. Easily a 4, which means a great album, but the cheese factor isn't controlled enough to make this a seriously fantastic release.
