Sonata Arctica

Winterheart's Wild

Brilliant band

Review Score:

(10/10)
Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited: While the religious overtones are somewhat annoying (considering most power metal fans aren't as Christian as some other genres), and there are definite weak points, this is still a very good song. I think it'd do better near the end of the album, however. 4.5/5

Gravenimage: Starts out seeming to be a ballad, but gets faster, then faster, and faster!! A wonderful song. 5/5

The Cage: This is the best Sonata Arctica song!!! Full of fast-paced, angry lyrics, and an awesome melody. 5/5

Silver Tongue: A fun track, with good clear lyrics, not the best but still very good. 4/5

The Misery: A nice power ballad, showing Sonata's ability to play softer tunes alongside the speeding metal usually assosciated with it. 4/5

Victoria's Secret: Good song, but not really very memoriable. 4.2/5

Champagne Bath: I like the opening, but the rest of the song gets annoying. It picks up again, but then falls back. Overall, it has its highs and lows. 3.8/5

Broken: This was my favorite SA song until "The Cage" grew on me. It has a few bad points, and the end drags, but its still one of SA's very best songs ever. 5/5

The Ruins of My Life: This song really grows on you. It plays in an obvious pattern once you get the verses down, but it's great. 5/5

Draw Me: A pretty good song, has some good points, but not as memoriable as other songs on the album. 4/5
