The first track "Full Moon" is a good edit from its original that is in Ecliptica. This has good lyrics. Tells about a man who is a wolf sometimes. This is one of the crowns in melodic metal. "Still Loving You" is better version than Scorpion has. This one has more power and is faster. It comes a felling that in this track a vocalist would hate the woman than love. There's a stabbing melody in the end. "I Want Out" is a little bit better than Helloween's version. It is more faster than original. "San Sebastian" is better version than Sonata had in album 'Silence'. It is a very fast track and has beautiful sounds. It is a love song, unfortunately man doesn't get woman. 'Shy' is very peaceful love song. The live tracks are also well done. The vocals are excellent. "Replica" and "My Land" belong to the best of Sonata Arctica. They were originally released in album "Ecliptica". "Replica" is a song against the war. It describes the effects that the wars have for the family life. "My Land" is a love song. Some man has "conquered" vocalist's woman. "UnOpened" is a great live track! It starts very silently with chorus, there's very beautiful keyboards and vocals! Then it starts like in studio version only faster and harder! I like this version even more than the original in Ecliptica. "FullMoon" is a classic live track. It isn't here as good as in "Songs of Silence" but still good. The audience doesn't sing with Tony, that's very much because Sonata wasn't so popular then. I recommend this EP to every Sonata fan in the world!
