Advantages: Involving, I think it's Stratovarius best album.
Disadvantages: You have to like the genre

...Introduction : I must say I didn't listened a lot of rock music 5 or 6 years ago, and the genre is so complex and full of artists that I can't have a full vision of it. However a friend of mine made me listen to Stratovarius music when I was 17 years old, and I liked them since the first time, liking them more and more while I listened them. Since them I tried to listen all of their album and I can say that in my opinion Visions is the best. The other had one or more tracks that I liked, while in Visions I simply can't find a track that doesn't meet my agreement. It was published in 1997. Then, let's see what the album has to offer. Track Listing : 1. The Kiss Of Judas (5.49) 2. Black Diamond (5.39) 3. Forever Free (6.00) 4. Before The Winter (6.07) 5. Legions (5.43) 6. Abyss Of Your Eyes (5.38) 7. Holy Lights (5.45) 8...

The left-field sense of humour, however, remains firmly in place. It all begins in a slightly disappointing fashion with an unremarkable song characterised by simple riffs but fairly catchy, eccentric vocals. Fundamentally, there is nothing wrong with Hold Me In The River, but compared with previous material, it falls well below expectations. It is followed by Margherita, which illicits a sigh as it sounds so much like its predecessor. However, upon listening to the lyrics, such as “It’s clear it’s the fear that keeps us under control”, one notices that it is in fact a collection... Read review
