Sonata Arctica's Reviews

Silence

(4.5) Magnificent

I'm going in the same direction as most of the reviewers here... This album rules beginning to (almost) end. I will review the songs as I listen to them, because I don't see many other reviewers doing it for this album:

...Of Silence : Well , its just an intro...

Weballergy : Killer start for the album

False News Travel Fast : Great song, I like how the rythm changes many times throughout it (is it just an illusion?)

The End of This Chapter : Nice lyrics, except for the terrible intro

Blacksheep : Stunning; A must-listen for any power metal fan.

Land of the Free : Pure Power Metal

Last drop falls : Great ballad

San Sebastian Revisited : Even better than the original one, but the song shouldn't be so fast, it's becoming confusing.

Sing in Silence : I supose it's a good ballad, but it doesn't catch on me.

Revontulent : WOW, nice instrumental, now this is the one which could be even faster, hehe.

Tallulah : Best Sonata Arctica Ballad ever

Wolf & Raven : I discovered Sonata Arctica with this song, and my humble vocabulary cannot describe its power.

The Power Of One : BORING, whatever... what a bad end to such a beautiful album.

Overall, it's one the best power metal albums(IMO,IMO...) out there that I listened to already and that I would recommend, especially if you're becoming bored of all the ultra-chessy fantasmagoric lyrics of the genre as I am.

You should also listen to "Peacemaker"(no typo) on the Wolf & Raven Single, I got it on the Internet(oh i'm a bad boy) and it rocks.
