Stratovarius - You're thoughts..?

Vacant · 09-06-2004, 11:48 AM

I'm wondering what peoples views are here on Stratovarius... I finally got off my ass and checked them out, got Elements Pt1 & 2... and I've been blown away. It's great stuff

Metal Ken · 09-06-2004, 12:05 PM

they're alright. their main dude is fucking nuts though, read what was goin on with him around december - january-ish. I prefer stuff like SOnata Arctica & Gamma Ray more though..

I was first a strato fan. I've since moved on to think that Sonata Arctica is a better band overall.

Elements pt1 has some great stuff though.
As far as i understand it, Strato is no more.

I love strato. Episode, Visions, Destiny, those three are fantastic albums, especially Episode. I have an older one of theirs, 4th Dimension I think it's called. That one's a little too synth pop for me, and I have heard their Infinity album (I think it's called), and I just thought it was terrible.

That band is good, although they're sometimes too predictable and their singer just kills me sometimes. Having said that, Episode is a fantastic album start to finish and is one of my all-time favorites.

i didnt ever hear of them until about 5 minutes ago when i bought a cd and inside out music listed all of the new cds they are putting out, they have a cool name though it sounds like a disease that would wipe out earth or something

Old school Finnish power metal. I don't like them personally or musically. They have an impact on power metal scene so they deserve some respect.

Power metal is a growded scene and I don't think they can compete with Sonata Arctica, Luca Turilli, Children of Bodom, Nightwish or Angra anymore

They are geezers now :p

I am not into power metal really and I haven't heard Starovarius' latest stuff so I can't tell what's happening.

Vince · 09-16-2004, 04:11 PM

yo, PK, welcome to the board! Sonata Artica is a definite improvement over Strato, as is Nightwish. Angra, however... how do you get past that singer? I mean, he makes Celine Dion sound masculine. I used to have some old Angra albums, I think Holy Land and Angel's Cry or something like that. Interesting music, but I never really saw them as very heavy, even though they were very fast.

I love Sonata and Children, I'll have to check out some Nightwish
