Metal Reviews

It sounds quite amazing from this video, I can already tell the new album will be infinitely better than Unia.

Jesus, what the fuck is up with Tony's hair??

Great song though, from what you can hear. Sounds like classic Sonata.

Hmm... Well this didn't sound as bad as I expected it to be. Will give this a proper listen when it comes out

Eye liner is like, soooo coool.

His two blond side mesh thingies are even better.

But Sonata aren't power metal, how are they able to use double bass and guitar solos?

Here's the full song:

Fuck, the chorus gave me goosebumps again. This is going to be awesome.

I don't like it. One of the most boring fast SA songs I've heard. There is nothing new in the guitar department and Henrik's playing is so trite and his solo so dull. I don't find this song catchy at all.

Don't piss on my parade, it's awesome.

I'm a big Korpiklaani fan, but their last one, Karkelo, sucked and I admit it even thought the band was taking shit from everyone since Tervaskanto. I know you are big SA fan and I hope when they finally release a stinker (for most people that was Unia, which I think you were the only one defending) you'll acknowledge it as such. Now, I don't know how the new album will turn out but at least I know there is one song in it I don't like.

Sorry for being so serious but I'm not in a good mood and right now your SA fanboyism is getting on my nerves. I think I'll help myself to a beer.

It sounds far better than the last one at least, but Henrik is just bad compared to Tony or Mikko. He hasn't the chops or the flair of either.

I'll try to be objective as possible when I review the album, but don't forget that just because a "fanboy" likes it doesn't mean that it's actually bad. Oh, and no, I wasn't the only one defending Unia.

I have the full album and I can tell you that despite it being better than Unia, it is still quite different to what they have done previously. Very orchestral, much like Nightwish's latest album.

That song in comparrison to the whole album is pretty leading. It will take quite a few spins to grow on me

I liek the new single. It seems to be better than almost all of Unia (and I actually liked the album!). If the whole album is like this I will be a very happy camper.

Video's up:

Pretty cool.

And what the fuck is this? A new slow remake of Wolf & Raven? Fuck off.

It sounds like Broadway. I almost like it.

What the hell is that?! Man Sonata Arctica piss me off. They used to be one of my favorite bands, but now they are just a bunch of douche bags.

Hahaha. Word.

Anyway, that was shit.

Letter to Dana "remake" or whatever they're calling it.

This one I like, they pulled it off. Turned a ballad into a more dirge-like epic.

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.
