It Truly Makes the Most Beautiful Music...Silence...

Review Score: (8/10)
Sonata Arctica became popular thanks to this album. It is a little bit overrated, I think. Some people say it is their best but I would say it has quite commercial songs too much. "The whole thing is more than the sum of its parts."...well, may be but this whole thing makes this album worse than it would be summed. "Weballergy", "False News Travel Fast", "Wolf & Raven", "Land of the Free", "San Sebastian (revisited)" are great tracks...fast tracks. "Black Sheep" is also quite good fast track but also quite simpel and when you have heard it 10 times in the gigs you feel ill, probably. The peaceful ballads "The End of This Chapter", "Sing in Silence", "Tallulah", and "Last Drop Falls" are very popular but I used to listen to only "Last Drop Falls" quite often...other ones sometimes. "The Power of One" is a great piece of art. It is very long, about 10 minutes, but it isn't boring...they have made the same as Helloween did with "Keeper of the Seven Keys"...long but entertaining. "Revontulet" is a fast instrumental track meaning Northern lights. It truly makes the most beautiful music...Silence...
Stars: San Sebastian (revisited), Last Drop Falls, Wolf & Raven, The Power of One
