Sonata Arctica's Reviews

Winterheart's Wild

Brilliant band

Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited: The lyrics are great, but I didn't really like this song.

Gravenimage: Starts out seeming to be a ballad, but gets faster as the song goes. Good, but takes more than one listening to to get used to it

The Cage: The first time I listened to this, I thought it was okay. However, it soon grew on me and now it's my favorite Sonata Arctica song. You absolutely need to read the lyrics for the full experiance of this song - I believe it's about an animal taken in for lab testing and how it yearns for freedom. Has both angry and estatic lyrics, both of which SA do very well, and a wonderful melody. The end seems like it would drag on, but the melody makes it so you still want to listen to it to the end.

Silver Tongue: A fun track, with good clear lyrics, not the best but still very good.

The Misery: A nice power ballad, weak at some points, but is overall good for headphones, not really for stereo.

Victoria's Secret: Good song, but not really very memoriable.

Champagne Bath: I like the opening, but the rest of the song gets annoying. It picks up again, but then falls back. Overall, it has its highs and lows.

Broken: This was my favorite SA song until "The Cage" grew on me. It has a few bad points, and the end drags, but its still one of SA's very best songs ever.

The Ruins of My Life: A solid song with nice lyrics and a good story.

Draw Me: A pretty good song, has some good points, but not as memoriable as other songs on the album.
