Were sold out and many people where there to support Sonata Arctica. That almost all live shows done in Europe (with Rhapsody & Stratovarius) (so are we in Europe !), but why put one of the best song as a bonus ? I believe Mind the Japanese to have bonus tracks, they are fervent defenders of metal (no kidding ?), and here is where I start to disagree. The Japanese version (released by Avalon June 21th) contains a bonus track One which perfectly demonstrate the improvements done in matters of songwriting. Song (more than 9 minutes) à la Edguy called : The Power Of Version) but this version is very cool as well. The original mix (basically only the keyboards is a bit different on this new Which was a new track released (last year) in the Successor MP. The otherģ are a bit more common (still good songs). Impressive (what a song my friends !) just like Replica was. Much, even if the very first ballad The End Of This Chapter is really Four to be precise for a total of 11 songs (10 new) : that's way too

The keyboards which are simply majestic and are partly responsible for Sonata's Tony's vocals are even more amazing than inĮcliptica (less accent as well).

I remember vocalist Tony Kakko telling Is amongst the best (if not the best) Melodic Speed Metal releases of the last It's maybe not as good as the first album, but let's face it, Ecliptica Their fantastic debut album Ecliptica ? Difficult to say. Now I know exactly what question is in your mind : Is this new opus better than After a long waiting of a year and a half, the new Sonata Arctica arrived.
