Negative Positive
Title: Eh.
Review: Following the trends, Sonata Arctica has bailed out on the hooks that made them popular, and opted for hookless parts of songs strung together in a pattern that I have yet to figure out. This is Power Metal's equivalent to a jazz exploration. I would have to say that I don't really recommend this album to people who like straightforward power metal, however if you like more progressive metal, you would be fairly at home with the random changes, odd time signatures, structureless feeling of the songs, and would likely enjoy it.
Is the review positive or negative?
