Bizarre song is the this Flag in the Ground sketch. Ii sounds like about three different songs all meshed together quite badly. I still think it's not bad though, and it definitely makes me hopeful for the new album, but I wish Kakko would just go back to writing straightforward poppy power metal. He can't write progressive music.


It's a rewrite from a 1996 demo, so the power influence is song.

Yeah, I knew that, you can hear it in certain points of the song but it's obvious it's been quite heavily re-written - or more likely parts of the old song have been attached to an unrelated new one. The way the fast intro cuts off after just a few seconds is just typical of the way Sonata are going. Its quite good, just frustrating.

Yeah, it sounds awkward at times once you know that, but otherwise it's quite cohesive. Have you read my review?
