i notice here lately alot of people bitching on about how bad power metal is, Sonata arctica are considered power metal, and i really enjoy several of their albums, i dont get why people are so incredibly anti, sure theyre not incredibly technical but the most i find most enjoyable, and i think Tony Kakkos vocals are great. I also think people take power metal waaaaay too seriously, and need to get off their fucking high horse when it comes to other forms of metal, meh well thats my 2 cents, you can let me know what your opinions on this band are....
