I don’t know. Call it a weakness, but something about SONATA makes me love them. I don’t know. Maybe that they are simple the best power metal band since the mighty HELLOWEEN? That is a pretty good possibility. Nothing is overboard and nothing is quite as cheesy as it might look.
Fact is, they are technically capable of being CEPHALIC CARNAGE if they wanted to, but they find no need to noodle ridiculously for 57 minutes with falcetto shreiking all over the place. SONATA has meaning, and though the meaning may be about shit I loathe to hear about, it still has something genuine about it.
This record does not quite give me the tingle "Ecliptica" did. However, it still made my nuts tingle. You know it’s completely quality and has nothing but fucking fantastic written all over it.
So what do you want me to say next? I love SINERGY? Good luck, bitch! SONATA ARCTICA is the shit and I will say it to any hardcore grind fuckker. SONATA is troo!
