In all actuality, both of Timo's solo albums are not extensions of Stratovarius (unintentionally or otherwise) and this is a very good thing. Like its predecessor, "Coldness" does not get bogged down in excessively long songs (like some recent Strato kind of does) and he makes much better use of his voice on his own projects by only singing in the upper reaches of his rather impressive range sparingly and then mostly in the background. In comparison to his first solo effort, this one is quite personal and a little bit dark, as evidenced by the beautiful cover art and photos inside. However, like the first one, Timo has most of the same talented guys backing him up and once again, there are no bad songs to skip over. In fact, I would recommend the import version with the bonus track "Secret Name" which I have, if you can find it for a decent price because it really should have been on the album anyway. Keep up the great work, Timo!
