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. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
