Sonata Arctica

[Jasonic]

Silence and Ecliptica are simply amazing from start to finish. Winterheart's Guild has it's moments.

Yep, this is where I stand with their catalog as well.
Though I have not yet heard UNIA.

Btw, anyone out there REALLY like the song of theirs "Mary Lou" (acoustic) from the Orientation EP? It's so different from their norm, like an SA version of Gordon Lightfoot or something, but I think I'd almost have to put it in their top 5. Definitely top 10. Maybe their best lyrics.

I LOVE the acoustic version of "Mary Lou"!

I've put Sonata on the shelf for bit in the wake of their, IMO, disappointing performance at PP this year.


That said, put their entire catalog in the cd player and hit 'random' as far as I'm concerned... it's all great.
