│║        I guess that most of you are familiar with              ║ │
│║        StratovariusÆ æIntermissionÆ album from 2001.           ║ │
│║        The record was a compilation that mainly                ║ │
│║        featured live recordings, B-sides and bonus             ║ │
│║        tracks of the Finnish powerhouse.                       ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        17 years later, Stratovarius reveals a new album        ║ │
│║        and itÆs called æEnigma: Intermission 2Æ. As            ║ │
│║        with part one, also volume 2 comprises of songs         ║ │
│║        we know from the past. However, there are three         ║ │
│║        new songs on the album too.                             ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        The album starts with æEnigmaÆ, which is the            ║ │
│║        first song that premieres on the album. The tune        ║ │
│║        features all the typical Stratovarius trademarks        ║ │
│║        and fits perfectly. Timo KotipeltoÆs great              ║ │
│║        voice, the hooks, rocking guitars and a solid           ║ │
│║        portion of melodies, thatÆs what fans expect and        ║ │
│║        itÆs what they get with the title track.                ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        æBurn Me DownÆ is the next new song and also            ║ │
│║        this tune delivers to expectation. A bit more           ║ │
│║        rhythm-based the track has some ear-worm                ║ │
│║        potential. The third new song is entitled               ║ │
│║        æOblivionÆ. ItÆs a more mid-paced song and to me        ║ │
│║        the least exciting one of this triple. ItÆs a           ║ │
│║        kind of predictable scheme that characterizes           ║ │
│║        the track. I was waiting for the song æto               ║ │
│║        explodeÆ but it flows like a river in a straight        ║ │
│║        river bed û no twists.                                  ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        Next to the new songs, the band re-recorded four        ║ │
│║        classics in an orchestral version, which gives          ║ │
│║        the tracks a new appeal. Last but not least and         ║ │
│║        since itÆs the same concept as with                     ║ │
│║        æIntermissionÆ, the album contains several bonus        ║ │
│║        tracks and songs that have been unreleased in           ║ │
│║        Europe so far.                                          ║ │
│║                                                                ║ │
│║        So, in a certain way æEnigma: Intermission 2Æ           ║ │
│║        comes with some exciting stuff and itÆs                 ║ │
│║        especially the two of the new tracks that               ║ │
│║        showcase a band that knows how to play melodic          ║ │
│║        metal in a good way. Also, the orchestral               ║ │
│║        versions add some extra to this release, that is        ║ │
│║        more than a simple æbest ofàÆ. The world wasnÆt         ║ │
│║        maybe waiting for this release, but it doesnÆt          ║ │
│║        cause ear-pain either. I guess it becomes more          ║ │
│║        exciting to see the guys on tour since they will        ║ │
│║        be on the road for a co-headliner tour with             ║ │
│║        Tarja in autumn.                                        ║ │
