Look forward to hearing where they go with this one

Can't wait! Elysium was a killer album...

Looking for this it seems interesting...i hope it could be as epic as Elysium was! \m/

You can hear the full song of the single 'Unbreakable' on this link:

I'll Definately be getting this!
Elysium was a great album.

Just heard the album, not sure what to make of it all at the moment, it's definitely good - sounds like completely new territory and direction but it's fresh and great at the same time. Completely New kind of music for Stratovarius not all the old fans are going to like this.. but i'm an old fan and I LOVE it. Think this album will attract a lot of new fans

These songs are AMAZING

I'm four tracks in so far... so far I like the two songs I've heard already (2 and 4), but I'm not too crazy about tracks 1 and 3. I guess 50% isn't too bad. Hopefully there are some more good songs awaiting me...

EDIT: Album growing on me a lot. Probably an 8/10 for me right now.

Out of the Fog is an outstanding song!, my favourite from this album

Gonna be lethal , love strat !!!

It's a gratitude for what they've done so far, i already have listened this, now i'm gonna buy it! They deserve! Hail Stratovarius! \m/

An amazing Album.

The music is kinda good but the vocals ruined it for me , I'm not a fan of this type of power metal anyway .

What I heard until now is very great! Is far their best since Infinite Even better than the Elements Saga (though I like so much Elements Part I )

Well... Guess I have to listen to it

I was not expecting such a good album from them !!!!!!! Well done

Strat is great again??? What madness is this????? XD

Hard to believe I haven't listened to this band before, since I've recently tried to direct my musical interests towards Power Metal. So this is obviously the first album I've listened to by Stratovarius, and I can honestly say that my impression is that of a good one. The sound in general is very consistent and solid, songs like 'Unbreakable' and the title track proving to be very concise and powerful in their approach. The unashamed balladry of 'If the story is over' works well, and the keyboard flourishes on most of the tracks keep my budding ears engaged. I'll be sure to check out the band's other albums!

Wow. Who saw this coming? A lot more of a Symphony X/Kamelot sound coming from the music this time and way fewer lame lyrics. What a superb record.

This sounds awesome! Now I can't wait to hear it! Admittedly I haven't heard all that much with this band, but imo their previous album was a masterpiece so I'm really looking forward to this.

Admittedly Stratovarius is my favorite band ever, but this one is relieving after the previous two. Lemme know what you think, man! Enjoy!

Old school Strato fan here. Didn't like this album much at all. I can see how newer listeners might like it but it's nothing compared to their earlier albums. They did what Symphony X did, turn from being unique sounding into generic crap filled with boring riffs and ridiculous symphonics. Timo also isn't showing his great emotive voice. Their last few albums were pretty average too, though i like some songs.

Didn't mean to put a blemish on the stream of good reviews, but it did nothing for me (granted - only one listen so far so i didn't rate too low).

My personal favourite Strato song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6fCpxDPVso

Well, very nice album. In some tracks it reminded me of the most early Strato times

This one is well-done musically
But Timo sounds like he paid more effortness to sing well...that's sad...

Fuckin hey !...................

Be sure to check Visions. Imo is far their best album, and among the best power metal albums in general. It was composed in Timo Tolkki's golden era, the guitar/keyboard duels are simply amazing.

Favorite album of 2013 so far by a big margin, can't see that changing any time soon.
NO ONE CAN BRING ME DOWN!!!!! I WILL DEFEND MY BELIEFS!!!!!!

Daaaaaaamn. Even the bonus tracks are masterpieces.

Hmmm... Guess I'll give this album a chance and take a listen...

Very very.
