Since "Episode", Strativarius has been forming their music and beauty of their style. I think that process came to one climax with the last album "Destiny". That album was very progressive and really established their style. I was wondering how they would head to the next stage. Well, this is the answer from the band. They created another masterpiece. They successfully suceeded the last album yet also moved further to progress musically.
The lead single, track 1, became one of the most important repertories at their concert. Their music style is very limited in good ways and bad ways. Nevertheless, they surprised me with richness of their melody and songwriting. Many of their fast tunes sound similar, but they wrote tracks 2, 4, 6, and 7. They are all catchy and very unique. A beautiful ballad 3 is very dramatic. Track 6 is a new type in their music. It also became an important song on their set-lists. A progressive number, track 8, is very exciting, and the album ends with another ballad, track 9.
They have established their music style in last three albums. However, this time is almost like that they broke out of their own shell. They still stand strong in the position where their followers cannot reach even close. I have to take my hat off to them.
