After the Silence I have eagerly waited Sonata Arctica's next studio album. My wishes are granted and Sonata have made its best album. I didn't believe that is could happen because Silence and Ecliptica are so great albums that it was almost impossible to made better fellower. Kakko has showed that his song and lyrics writing skills are not lost. He has written strange, touching, variable, funny, marvelous and personal texts. Gravenimage is an unique song, that begins to ballad part, contains faster parts and ends to wolves' howling. Keyboards are awesome and melody is great. Victoria's Secret is song that tells women's undewears. Hah! I am just kidding! It is a sad story about woman whose past is very painful and she wants to new start fo her life but she cant' do it. Champagne Path tells famous people funs whose pictures are often in tabloids.
Song is fun and ironic story for them. There are some tracks that uses Sonata's basic powers for exemple Abonded, Pleased, Brainwashed and Exploited which is a fine opener track for album and live gigs. The Cage and The Ruins of My Life are also basic power showers. Kakko has made some songs that shows his skills to do something new. Broken, Gravenimage and Silver Tongue are evidence for little change of wind direction. I have two little stories for you rewiever. First story ( Lintupaisti )
When I was in collage there was one strange boy who liked to chemistry. He was in classroom and Chemistry teacher was teaching. Window was open. Suddenly, boy said: Tuolta ikkunasta tulee haukka! Tehdään siitä lintupaistia!( finnish text) Translated: Look over there! Here comes the edge! Let's make it food! Sonata Arctica's Winterheart Guild's album the last song is Draw Me. At the end of the Draw Me you can hear these words: Oktää jokin Greanbeanasenne. Lintupaisti! Lintupaisti! Hah hah!
It's possible that Kakko have heard someone that legendary bird story and he wanted to use lintupaisti word in album because it was funny.
Second Story ( The Camp for handicapped people )
I was dj in the handicapped people's camp and I played Sonata Arctica's song called Misery for Winterheart's Guild. Almost everyone liked that song and wanted to dance. Sonata's music can like all kind of people!
- If you like melodic power metal ( Stratovarius, Helloween...)
you love this album.
- Finally, It takes some time to find all fine elements for this album. Album last many listening times! Long live Sonata Arctica!
