There's always something special when one of your favorite band releases a new album, don't you think?
Well, now that special moment has come for me again, for the third time this year, and this time it's Sonata Arctica's turn.
And I was really excited before putting this into my player, because once again I was stunned by the beautiful cover, damn, the covers are getting better and better, and I didn't think they could do a better one than "Winterheart's Guild", but damn, how wrong could a man be?

When you see this CD standing on a shelf in your favourite CD-store, don't let the wonderful cover art fool you, yes it is beautiful, yes it is creative, yes it has the Sonata Arctica logo on it, but this album certainly isn't beautiful or creative, and in fact doesn't even really sound like Sonata Arctica either.

This might actually be my favourite Sonata Arctica album, actually.

Same here. I love this one, though I still don't get why so many people dislike it. Almost all songs I like a lot, A LOT, and the lyrics are great as well. If not my favorite SA album, definitely one of my favs.

My absolute favorite from SA, this is where the band(or Tony I must say) started to focus more on composition, rather than making guitar-keyboard solo dueling, that's why I like it.

It's definitely one that takes more time to get to know because the production is quite different for them - so that puts people off from the first line.
There's all kinds of stuff on here though, so when you've got used to it all it really is an amazing album... "White Pearl, Black Oceans" might be my favourite.

Do not understand how "Wrecking The Sphere" is a bonus track. It's a great song!

Without any doubt their best album... I wish they would go back to their older style

If they cut the forced crap such as "Misplaced" and "Ain't Your Fairytale", this would have been one of my top ten albums... ever? But the rest makes up for it big style.
WPBO is the best SA track to this date, and "The Boy Who Wanted To Be A Real Puppet" takes the cake as my personal favorite SA track. That's their only vaguely proggy song ever and is it good.

"Ain't Your Fairytale" is an awesome track!

I go through stages of hating it and loving it it was forced though. Tony was putting pressure on himself to write "Sonata Arctica songs" instead of just "songs", so most of the faster tracks on this album were penned when he hit the studio, set the metronome to one of these ridiculous speeds and tried to write a song around it.

Well if that is true, I wish he did that now...

Yeah, now he's forcing himself to write in a more simple way. Just damn, dude. Make up your mind already.
