Customer Reviews of Twilight Time
VERY GOOD This album is VERY good! some of the songs here are quite mellow and not as Fast and harder edged as the Later stuff, but it has a GREAT mood to it! It sounds great, and If Im in a mood for mellower Strato I pop this one in...Its a GREAT addition to any fan of 80s/90s Progressive Metal!
Twilight Time - Underrestimated masterpiece from Finland
Twilight Time is the second album of Stratovarius, released 1992. The album was awarded in Japan as "best foreign album" - and it surely went to right address.
The band (Timo Tolkki-guitar/vocals, Jari Behm-bass, Antti Ikonen-keys and Tuomo Lassila-drums) didn't got a record deal in Finland, and they released on their own "Stratovarius II" as a successor to the debut "Fright Night". A finnish band Antidote heard the album and took it to Germany while touring in there. They gave album to Shark Records and the album was released again with name "Twilight Time". Jari Behm left the band for musical reasons and Timo Tolkki played the bass sections in the album. Soon after releasing the album Jari Kainulainen came to band and still plays in Stratovarius.
For me the main reason of buying this album was the second track "The Hands Of Time", which is in my opinion one of the greatest songs ever. And the seven other tracks ("Break The Ice", "Madness Strikes At Midnight", "Metal Frenzy", "Twilight Time", "Hills Have Eyes", "Out Of The Shadows" and "Lead Us Into The Light") are also great songs. Tolkki isn't as good vocalist as the recent Timo Kotipelto (althought, there arent many better ones), but TT's voice fits to the songs.
When Stratovarius released their compilation "The Chosen Ones", the fans had a change to vote the songs of the album. This album included three of 16 "most wanted"-songs: Twilight Time (2nd, only Black Diamond had more votes), The Hands Of Time (4th) and Out Of The Shadows (7th). In my opinion this album is the most underrestimated album of Stratovarius - one of the most underrestimated metal bands.
Some Of The Best Pre-Kotipelto Strat Out There
I don't know why this album gets so smashed by Strat fans and reviewers alike. Ok, I can see a few points about this album that are not top notch. First there is 8 songs, so it's not to long. Tolkki's voice is good(boy can he yell), but is nothing to Kotipelto voice, and the production could have been better. But If you really look past these negatives(which are really minor in the whole pitcure)there is some great music on this CD. The song "The Hands Of Time" is the sole reason I bought this CD(the song has a great message about how time flows during the course of one's life). Other goodies include "Break The Ice", "The Hills Have Eyes", and "Lead Us Into The Light". However I personally found that "Metal Frenzy" and "Madness Strikes At Midnight" were not of my taste. Sure, it's a old cd (but it's better than Fright Night, which is STILL a good CD in it's own right), but I suggest you listen before you buy, pre-Kotipelto Stratovarius is VERY different from the music the band made before the addition of Kotipleto as singer. You may call me crazy, but this CD acually ranks ABOVE some of there newer stuff to me. Can't beat the oldies I say!
