For Sonata Arctica this album is... unusual. Not they're the most normal band in the world to begin with, but this.... is plain wierd!
I bought the album thinking it was going to be more of their trademark high speed power metal, but its really not... its more geared towards the technical side of things - changes from 4/4 to 3/4 and back again, lots of - as tony once put it - vocal masturbation, and suprisingly catchy lyrics.
Most sonata albums in the past have simply grabbed your eardrums by the scruff of the neck and shaken them into submission while the pretty colours went off in your synapses. This one, on the other hand, takes a while to get settled in, and takes some getting used to. Give it a few listens before you make your mind up and you'll find yourself walkign along humming the tunes without realising it!
So, their most unusual offering to date, but probably the most successful in my eyes - Brilliant vocals, catchy rhythms and fantastic technical ability from one of the best european metal bands out there!
