Review by Damian Estrada

Intermission by Stratovarius, the Finnish power metal band, is a stunning album that showcases the band's musical prowess and creativity. The album consists of five original tracks and four live tracks that were recorded during the band's 1998 tour. The album's title is fitting as it serves as a break between the band's previous album, Destiny, and their next release, Infinite.

The album's opening track, "Will My Soul Ever Rest in Peace?", is a powerful and emotional song that features Timo Kotipelto's soaring vocals and Jens Johansson's epic keyboard solos. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is filled with fast-paced guitar riffs, thundering drums, and catchy choruses.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Falling Into Fantasy", which features a beautiful acoustic guitar intro before launching into a full-blown metal assault, and "Freedom", which is an anthemic song that encourages listeners to break free from their limitations and live life on their own terms.

The live tracks on the album are also impressive, with each one showcasing the band's incredible energy and musicianship. "Dreamspace" and "Against the Wind" are particularly noteworthy, as they are both fan favorites that have been reimagined with new arrangements that make them even more epic and powerful.
