MY OPINION
I admit i may be being a little harsh, but i was disappointed quite by this album. The fact of the matter is that Sonata Arctica are my favourite band and i love all their other albums. Yet, sadly this album is different from all the rest. Unlike the bands other albums this one seems darker, harder and even much more moodier. I adore the diversity of the power metal ballads and more uptempo tracks from prior albums with tracks such as "Full Moon", "Last Drop Falls" and "Tallulah" but this album is just so different.
It may feel wonderful to Sonata Arctica to be re-inventing themselves, but i am of the opinion "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" I rushed to buy this album but if you feel you must own it, pay as cheap as possible. If you are a great fan of the older Sonata Arctica stuff be warned you may be disappointed. In its own right it is ok as an album and thus those buying this as a first Sonata Arcitica album and not being familiar with their other work will likely enjoy it, but for me a big thumbs down.
