│║      Description :                                             ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        Compilations usually show the best songs of an          ║ │
│║        artist, but unfortunatly this album doesnÆt seem        ║ │
│║        to satisfy all the fans, in fact, plenty of them        ║ │
│║        commented that the album does not reflect the           ║ │
│║        best songs of the band. Most of the criticism           ║ │
│║        goes round that topic and even I would have             ║ │
│║        added the songs ôStratosphereö and ôTomorrowö,          ║ │
│║        but still I bought the album and IÆm not                ║ │
│║        disappointed at all.                                    ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        ThereÆs two main reasons for me to like this            ║ │
│║        compilation:                                            ║ │
│║        1) The three best songs of Stratovarius were            ║ │
│║        included and if they are not the best ones they         ║ │
│║        are at least the most representative ones. IÆm          ║ │
│║        talking about ôBlack Diamondö, ôSpeed of Lightö         ║ │
│║        and ôWill the Sun Rise?ö.                               ║ │
│║        2) The album gives you the opportunity to               ║ │
│║        discover the sound that Stratovarius had before         ║ │
│║        Kotipelto even joined the band.                         ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        With this said I will go straight to the sound,         ║ │
│║        this is defiantly not extreme metal, is actually        ║ │
│║        quite melodic but powerful at the same time,            ║ │
│║        usually labeled as Euro Power Metal with                ║ │
│║        classical orientated keyboards. Through the             ║ │
│║        album you will listen KotipeltoÆs high toned            ║ │
│║        singing (one of the highest ones of the power           ║ │
│║        metal bands), Timo Tolkki has very fast guitar          ║ │
│║        solos and riffs, which can be well shown in the         ║ │
│║        song ôSpeed of Lightö and the drumming is quite         ║ │
│║        powerful too with plenty of double bass. I              ║ │
│║        mentioned that the band was melodic and that the        ║ │
│║        first thing you will notice, the first song             ║ │
│║        starts with a classical orientated keyboard             ║ │
│║        figure and it actually sounds like a classical          ║ │
│║        piano which then is reached by the other                ║ │
│║        instruments.                                            ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        Also I should mention that this album also              ║ │
│║        contains one of the best songs of the early era         ║ │
│║        of the band ôOut of the shadowsö, and also an           ║ │
│║        interesting acoustic ballad called ôForeverö.           ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
