Two years after their first album the boys of Kemi are here again! Silence has come. This was the first Sonata album I bought and I have listened to it most. I believed in Soundi magazine rewiew, which said: A whole is more than sum of its parts. Rewiewer was right! There are many excelent songs for exemple multifaceted False News Travel Fast, which contains amazing keyboard and quitar solos by Harkin and Liimatainen Weballergy is like a sequal to Blank File and it is even as fast as Blank File. Last Drop Falls is a beautiful and grand ballad, which reminds Scorpions but is better that any of Scorpions ballads. The Power of One is a ten-minute story for regreting sinner's path. There are several fine moments for this song. I have only one bad word for Silence: There are too many ballads. But you can still enjoy this and it's not a good reason to give four stars to Silence because almost all ballads are excelent.
