Another good release from Sonata Arctica

Review Score: (8/10)
After listening to Silence for 3 weeks straight, I decided to buy Winterheart's Guild. I first listened with high expectations and was somewhat dissatisfied. After a couple more listens, I really enjoyed tracks like The Cage and Victoria's Secret. Although this is not Sonata Arctica's strongest release, it is definetely worth 15 dollars. I really liked Silence because as a song ended, I anticipated the beginning of the next track. I hope that in time, Winterheart's Guild will have the same effect on me.
