I got into Stratovarius when Elements pt.1 came out. I think I have every album of theirs since, and while I always liked about half of the songs on any given album, the other half were always just ok or meh at best.
I remember checking out many power metal bands web pages maybe 10 years ago, and there were plenty of musicians, in the bio sections, that when asked what their favorite concert was, would say Stratovarius. I guess I never got that, only being a casual fan. Anyways, a couple of weeks ago I was browsing a few different groups here on Metal Music Archives, and went to the Stratovarius page. I noticed that the album Visions is the highest rated here on this site, so I bought it. Wow, what a fantastic album! Every song on it is killer. So I went and bought their Under Flaming Winter Skies concert DVD today, and again holy smokes! Those guys rip in concert. The new guy on guitar absolutely rips. I'm going to have to revisit all their albums I already have. Are there any other of their old albums that are a 'need to have', besides Visions? |
