"Paradox Hotel" is my favorite by Roine and the boys, and oddly enough, it's off to an early two vote lead. "End on a High Note", "Minor Giant Steps", "Life Will Kill You", "Touch My Heaven" and "Pioneers of Aviation" are all killer tracks. "Touch My Heaven" in particular has grown on me as of late. It's easy to write this one off though it features a fantastic bluesy solo by Mr. Stolt that has to be one of the more emotional moments on the album.

I'm here
 .For me it's Stardust We Are, from Space Revolver with World of Adventures third.
If the truth be told, they're all great albums.

I had to vote for "Sum Of No Evil" since it had no votes. To me it is their most consistent release- I love every second of it. ------------- Please check out my Progressive Music Blog: http://leviathanprog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - The Leviathan . |
