Negative Positive
Title: Oh dear, The Elements are against us....
Review: The gradual softening down of Stratovarius, with ludicrous attempts at driving a rock band via keyboards, has finally produced this. Some love it, but most old time Strato fans failed to see the point. Some lovely music, very few real songs and a total change of direction for the most part, this is an album of stories that nobody seemed interested in. The track Eagleheart is promising enough and builds to a cool crescendo - so why doesn't the rest of the album follow this lead cut? A disappointing effort from a band who always seemed to be on the verge of producing a masterpiece of melodic power metal.
Is the review positive or negative?
