│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As it turns out, one of the female voices that I like the ║ │
│║ most in the history of humanity, has been chosen to ║ │
│║ accompany in its impossible duets the great vocalist of ║ │
│║ Symphony X or Adrenaline Mob named Russell Allen. A guy ║ │
│║ with such immense vocal ability that he is able to duet ║ │
│║ with the Viking Jorn Lande and not make a fool of himself. ║ │
│║ He is a vocalist that I admire a lot in addition to deeply ║ │
│║ respecting him. And she has decided to have the services of ║ │
│║ the current nurse Anette Olzon who, as I said before, is ║ │
│║ one of the female voices that I like the most. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ His two albums with Nightwish are simply masterful, in ║ │
│║ addition to his past works with Alyson Avenue or more ║ │
│║ recently in The Dark Element. And of course, next to them ║ │
│║ the multiplayer Magnus Karlsson┤s that is only in charge of ║ │
│║ the (brutal) guitars, Bass and keyboardsà it is valid for ║ │
│║ all this boy, I think he also prepares some Gin Tonics with ║ │
│║ peppercorns and ginger balls to hallucinate. The drummer ║ │
│║ Anders K÷llefors gives the good general level of the band. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And what is the result when this strange mixture is used? ║ │
│║ Well, for my taste, the result is excellent. Anyone who ║ │
│║ follows the sound of the latest Avantasia albums will enjoy ║ │
│║ this album, because it is exactly that. Any theme found in ║ │
│║ this Worlds Apart could swell the latest Moonglow album by ║ │
│║ giving a clear example of where this work is moving. Magnus ║ │
│║ deserves a special mention with devastating guitar solos, ║ │
│║ with a level of skill simply amazing. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Never Die opens the album where only Russell sings and does ║ │
│║ it with enormous power, with some Jorn touches in some ║ │
│║ parts. And as the lights of the theme go out, some very ║ │
│║ Nemo keys appear, from that Nightwish album where it is ║ │
│║ already glimpsed in the distance that a female voice ║ │
│║ suddenly appears on the scene leaving a sample of ║ │
│║ undeniable class. Perhaps it is difficult for him to reach ║ │
│║ the heights of Rusell in the song that gives the album the ║ │
│║ title Worlds Apart, but that tone of voice simply makes you ║ │
│║ fall in love. This girl is endowed with a vocal sweetness ║ │
│║ that catches you and no longer releases you. It would be ║ │
│║ something like the musical version of the Beauty and the ║ │
│║ Beast movie ... the vocal beast that is the great Russell ║ │
│║ who sings in such a high tone that if you try, the ║ │
│║ eucalyptus pills will be your companions for days to fix ║ │
│║ the sores caused in your throat when trying to follow this ║ │
│║ animal. Instrumentally the album looks impeccable thanks to ║ │
│║ Magnus who plays it all and does it magnificently as in ║ │
│║ I┤ll never leave you with a clear protagonism by Anette. It ║ │
│║ is inevitable to go back to your Nightwish days, with ║ │
│║ impeccable themes with a brutal energy sung wonderfully ║ │
│║ well. Even Magnus' guitar tone sounds very Nightwish, the ║ │
│║ comparison is inevitable, and that sweet voice pervades ║ │
│║ everything. It seems to me a very well constructed and ║ │
│║ masterfully interpreted theme. The premier guitar solo ║ │
│║ where Magnus looks like the emperor he is. A 6-string ║ │
│║ beast. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ What if I live continues with those angelic choirs more ║ │
│║ typical of Within Temptation where Anette sounds like the ║ │
│║ angel she is, where she looks in a colossal duet with ║ │
│║ Russell in a really beautiful song. It is not a half time, ║ │
│║ but as if it were. Beautiful theme where the two strive to ║ │
│║ show that they play in the big leagues despite the fact ║ │
│║ that unfortunately, Anette no longer lives on music. Rather ║ │
│║ the three, because Magnus's solo is simply from another ║ │
│║ planet. Lost Soul is a song more typical of his band ║ │
│║ Symphony X than of the melodic moments in which the album ║ │
│║ generally lives, but it is a tremendous song very melodic ║ │
│║ metal perfectly armed only with the voice of Russell. The ║ │
│║ guitar solo is very good, but too long in my opinion ... ║ │
│║ Magnus things. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ No sign of life is a beautiful duet where the two vocalists ║ │
│║ fly well with a very good melodic metal theme but really ║ │
│║ accessible to those who do not usually leave the AOR or the ║ │
│║ more melodic side of Rock. Good background orchestration to ║ │
│║ give birth to a great song ... as is also the case of One ║ │
│║ more chance where Anette literally sings like the piece of ║ │
│║ vocalist she is. It seems written for her, without needing ║ │
│║ to force her voice too much, it is a masterclass on how to ║ │
│║ sing in this type of musical style, with many Avantasia ║ │
│║ touches to enjoy Anette again on the records she can record ║ │
│║ knowing that she is no longer professionally dedicated to ║ │
│║ music ... unfortunately. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The very rocker My enemy sounds unstoppable with another ║ │
│║ duet shape, drilling our brains relentlessly, a typical ║ │
│║ theme to enjoy at full volume on the balcony now that it ║ │
│║ gives us to put music from the balconies. It will surely ║ │
│║ lift the spirits of more than one. Who you really are very ║ │
│║ symphonic and metal, also reminds me of the best Avantasia, ║ │
│║ without a doubt the good guy from Tobφas has created a ║ │
│║ style without knowing it. Russell Allen sings with a ║ │
│║ beastly power, it will appeal to all fans of this genre, ║ │
│║ including myself. In general lines it is a very enjoyable ║ │
│║ album. And of course the halftime has to come that makes ║ │
│║ your spirit fall in love with beautiful things, such as ║ │
│║ this Cold inside that Anette turns into pure art, a ║ │
│║ goldsmith's object to contemplate, enjoy, and fall in love ║ │
│║ with this musical style that just turns out It was missing ║ │
│║ from your catalog of musical tastes. You will undoubtedly ║ │
│║ listen to it more than once because beauty is to be enjoyed ║ │
│║ as many times as necessary. Magnus scratches again at high ║ │
│║ altitude with a solo full of difficulty and energy plus ║ │
│║ pure class. This guy is a magician. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ And he closes the album Who's gonna stop me now, with ║ │
│║ Russell again showing that he is one of the best vocalists ║ │
│║ on the music scene, singing with insulting sufficiency. All ║ │
│║ a tremendous catalog of records that has the help of Anette ║ │
│║ in quieter parts to put the necessary degree of beauty to ║ │
│║ give birth to an unforgettable theme. Magnus doing his ║ │
│║ thing putting the end to a really entertaining album, very ║ │
│║ enjoyable that you would like if any of these two vocalists ║ │
│║ are to your liking. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ My advice is that far from letting you convince me, that I ║ │
│║ think it is a good album and that I advise you, or from ║ │
│║ people who have not liked anything and deeply despise it, ║ │
│║ the best thing you can do is listen to it and decide for ║ │
│║ yourself. same. It is impossible to like everyone or to ║ │
│║ like everyone. The same thing happens with discs. I, if you ║ │
│║ trust my criteria, I found it a good album in its style, ║ │
│║ with two excellent vocalists and held by an instrumental ║ │
│║ genius like Magnus Karlsson┤s. Its similarities with ║ │
│║ Avantasia, if it is not annoying you will enjoy it very ║ │
│║ much. I've done. ║ │
