Best part of the music :)

Love the boy who wanted to be a real puppet, caleb and this one too :D

It is glorious

...and thumbs up to the ones who recognized the quote from "of silence"

And that's just the way we love it. ;)

+Pyre He put a Mustang on it. That's why it doesn't sound right lol.

Abraxas Belial Jernskjegg-Mathisen How could a band changing its sound not make them better or worse, i think that ranks up there as one of the dumber things i've read.

No need to be rude despite disagreeing. As a pro musician myself, I state this very clearly: Bands make changes in their instrumental perspectives all the time, and it does not alter their skills as a band or as musicians, it alters their sound. Ofc, if Dragonforce f.ex decided to only play Tom Dooley from now on, it would compromise their quality to the listener, but it would not compromise the quality of the band. See where I'm getting at?

Abraxas Belial Jernskjegg-Mathisen We're not talking about individual skill level of the musicians we're talking about the quality of the music. Also the band changed guitarists which has a huge influence on the sound of their music for better or worse. So yeah I get where you're coming from but whats the relevance.

ronocko And I get what you're saying as well. In my opinion, the quality of Sonata Arctica has only improved the last few albums. They have a different sound, but that doesn't make it a worse sound. And far from a terrible sound. SA is probably one of the few bands that can alter their sound and the style of the music, but still keep the core. And the core is the most important part. The lyrical themes, the percussions, the rythm, the melody, all of this is a part of the core. Yes, their previous guitarist was without doubt a very good one, and he brought influences that made SA well known for their fast guitar play and aggrevated percussions, but now they have a new guitarist, one who has altered their sound to what sounds more melodic and a bit calmer. Do I dare say SA is a better band now than 10 years ago? Absolutely. Do I still listen to SA from 10 years ago and love it with all I got? Most certainly. Let's call it a treuce or what? :)

Abraxas Belial Jernskjegg-Mathisen "A great number of bands have changes in their instrumental perspectives, it doesn't make them worse or better," "In my opinion, the quality of Sonata Arctica has only improved the last few albums" You can't have your cake and eat it, we will never be friends.

***** it's called power metal. look it up

***** what? Do you smart-ass even understand what I'm talking about?

+Tamás Alföldi just drum.

lucas luconi luconi and the structure, starting with the main melody after the drum intro

Alberto Campodonico Cool Cool

Alberto Campodonico Unia is a great album, I love Ecliptica and I love Unia too. Two faces of the world of Mr. Kakko. And Kakko composes nearly all the songs of Sonata. I don't really notice any Janni influences

Jérémy Wolff Then you sir are deaf. I agree with you that both eras are great, but Janni did influence very much the guitar riffing, especially tempo-wise

Alberto Campodonico Jani was with SA until after Stones Grow Her name. Pariah's Child is the first album with Elias as their guitarist. This is till Power Metal, but i'd call it Progressive Power Metal tbh. Whatever man if you don't like change that's fine, just go listen to their old stuff.

Alberto Campodonico I don't get why everyone always talks about the wolf and raven song. It's nothing special, especially on Silence.

MaverickM1 ...it's a song about these kids dying because they keep running lights. So YAY STREET RACING! :D GO FAST!

ShaZam it's about the bond between you and your veihcle, don't judge man

Agreed 110% First four albums are great. I follow Jani now not SA.

TihadBaker I felt that every single song on the album was fantastic. I've followed them since the beginning so it's difficult for my to hear them change, but in my opinion it's a good change, I've embraced it and I love it.

Dan Braithwaite Glad you enjoyed it, awesome artist overall. Hoping their next album appeals to me more.

TihadBaker they lost it unfortunately...

I think all the songs on the albums are great. Pariah's Child is in my Top 3 albums from SA.

is this song in 5/6? :o

Mussa Korn seems like, the intro is 5/8 (x3) and 6/8

JuanBaut1s7a thanks !!! Hablas español?? por mas que la escucho no la puedo seguir jaja pero Gracias!! seguia teniendo duda :) lml

It sounds nothing like Blood.

B Mart. Nah, it definitely has a part that sounds very similar to Blood. Compare "And they enter the night when the young ones need no sleep" in the song to "Kept awake by the night of the twilights cold, sad weeps" in Blood.
