The most passable song from this album, but still nothing remarkable. Those guys are dangerously following the steps of Sonata Arctica.

I politely disagree, I think this album will be the best yet of their post-Tolkki era. And definitely nowhere near as low as Sonata Arctica have unfortunately stooped.

I hope so, but the singles have been so watered down for myself. And I usually am very tolerable with the music.

Well with any luck they are saving the best tracks for the full album release

It is with great sadness that I am writing this, as I loved pre-Ele1 Strato and had high hopes for new-era materials, but I found this track extremely boring. Really hope that the full release will deliver something better...

well, the full album thankfully redeemed it...

Well, it was a nice listening, but evidently the band is weighed down by the pass of time. They had to adapt their sound to the actual Kotipelto's vocal range (if only Tolkki wouldn't have exploited him in the Elements era )

Took me a few listens but now I keep repeating this song.
That final section when they transform the intro and main melody into a power metal assault with that amazing riff and extremely solid drumming in the background. Then Timo Kotipelto delivers his highest notes in years, reminiscent of Strato's peak in the late 90's early 20's which never fails to send shivers down my spine.
