There are perfect hits like Father Time, Will the Sun Rise, and Speed of Light, but the rest of the material fails in comparison, as is isn't as catchy or well put together. But despite these small lacks, Episode is very enjoyable. Each member of Stratovarius is a virtuoso of his instrument, and ever since Fourth Dimension they've played very well together. Episode-55: The 4th song is an instrumental one. Its only keybords and a guitar solo. It starts with keybord, a good riff that will remain the same the rest of the song.

I like Episode very much but because of its 2 minutes duration its not one of my favorites. Speed Of Light-65: Episode fades out to Speed of Light, the fastest song of the album. And I really mean fast. Its looks impossible to play on guitar. Although it lasts 3 minutes its an excellent song. The whole verse, the.
