No matter how much they change their style I will always love Sonata. Because their music always lift my spirits. I suffer from depression and anxiety and Sonata's music makes me feel better whenever I hear it. It's just beautiful and majestic. It's happy metal but not cheesy happy metal like Freedom Call (don't get me wrong I love them too). But Sonata it's the kind of music that will make you smile whenever you're sad or in a bad mood.
Concuerdo contigo , a mi me hace hacer más rápido los quehaceres de la casa o estar de buenas aunque todo en mi entorno se este callendo , la voz de Tonny tiene esa habilidad de hacerte sentir tranquilo , con decirte que hasta las compañeras de mi trabajo lo bautizaron como " El chico que toca música loca pero canta bonito" . Y como dices es un metal feliz pero agradable , que muchas veces sus letras no tienen nada de feliz pero aún así la música de ellos lo torna así . Y aunque cambien de estilo suenan bien aunque muchos piensen lo contrario, musicalmente son perfectos !!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
12 years here. And I kind of hate it. Because it seems like they are trying to remind me about it EVERY. FUCKING. ALBUM. I'm 25, for fucks sake. AND I FEEL OLD???
Been listening to them for 11 years, lost track of what they been up to after pariah's child. I thought they changed drummers because tommy looks so different, had to double check if he was still in the band Time indeed takes its toll
I liked the songs, but i have to agree with this, the mixing is not at sonata standards, just listen to any song from Unia and then listen to this and you will know what we're talking about.
Este álbum es el 5 álbum mejor que eh escuchado de sonata la verdad que lo disfruto mucho escucharlo junto a unía recuerda sonata ya no es más power metal este álbum para mi suena más rockeron y melódico me gusta ponerlo en diciembre a todo puto volumen saludos axel
Hmh... difficult to say. Honestly I just think, that the vocals should be like this, but the volume is a bit unbalanced....Maybe it depends how much Bass you push in.
It’s been said before but why the blurry mixing???? I’m a long time SA fan who loves the older albums more than the new ones but I think this album also has some good songs.....but the entire album is ruined by a vague, blurry and irritating to listen to mixing. Such a shame, they sounder better 10 years ago.....what’s the point in that?
I think i've pretty much gave up on them at this point. The songs are bland, mixing is bad, I also don't really enjoy the whole politics path they've taken recently. I'll just enjoy their first albums and stop caring about anything else.
@@fritesmayo7613 well its was on the cold war, so its more history than politics? Also it was conveyed in a form of a story with a main character like they did with many other songs. So no its not like distruction preventer which was by the way 1 song in many albums in compare to ninth hour where it was far more songs politically present based in just 1 album
@@rogat174 Yeah i hated ninth hour for that.. On talviyo, i only like cold cause it has a 80s metal side to it, message from the sun and last of the lamb. The second half of the cd i so weak..
People said it before, but it really sounds a lot better at 1.25x speed. Listen to it for a while and then go back to normal speed. It makes such a big difference. So much more dynamic!
Yet again they do it - to the countless who are gunna say we miss the old sonata they need to realise that this is the direction these guys are going in with new band mates and still really producing fantastic music they are artists and will make what they want to express and Tony nails it every time. Thank you for more great music Sonata!
@@perennialcoma what does "gatekeeping" mean? English is my 2nd language, so I'm not sure whether I understood the meaning well in this context or not. If it is what I thought it is, I must tell you, I may be one of the fans of this band who really likes this kinda song haha
Great album guys. Listening to it from a rock standpoint great stuff! Honestly it feels like you found your sound. Alot of stuff has the atmosphere that this band has become famous for but with your original tricky beans roots.
Most bands from Sonata Arctica's era have become a bit... boring, but Sonata Arctica still sound like they want to make music, the lyrics always pique my interest and Tony Kakko is such a great frontman
I think it could have been mixed better. I agree it kind of lacks that "oomph" that it could have it they just did a better job mixing it. I'm no sound engineer but that's just my opinion for what it's worth.
Lots of people saying bring back jani, but man I love " the days of grays" "stones grow her name" and "pariahs child", great cd's, but the last one and the first 3 songs released from this one dont have that SA magic, and nothing to do with being fast, just seems like you said bland, hopefully better stuff on the whole cd
They said many times that the goal was to create a more organic sounding album, so you get the feeling that they are playing live. I dont think it sounds so bad ^^
Agreed. I have no problem if Sonata wants to go more of the pop route because a lot of their songs are quite melodic, especially on Talviyo. But why can't they make fast stuff too? Like, why can't we have both as fans and the band can do best of both worlds?
I really appreciate this album, it came out when I was in the middle of the worst suffer in my life so I can say these songs made me stronger and helped me a lot with not feeling like the world really ended. ❤
I see large change in their music and performance. It's not that SONATA ARCTICA like before. When I heard their first promotion Talviyö single I felt disappointed and I started thinking that this album is not that I expected, not that all fans expected. Especially that we waited for this album long time. But the second song which appeared COLD gave me little hope that it's not very bad album so I promised myself to hear all songs thoroughly and give the right answer because it's only my first impression. THX!! GREETINGS FOR ALL FANS !
I got this album yesterday but haven't listened to it all the way through, but you can tell that enthusiasm they had on their first four albums has disappeared over the past few years... they've never released a bad album, but that energy just isnt thereanymore. Especially on the Ecliptica rerecording. I dont expect them to sound like they're in their 20s anymore but they sounded straight up bored with that one
Seeing Sonata Arctica live a few days ago was one of the most disappointing concert experiences that I've ever had. While watching them play, I recalled the awesome shows they put on 10 - 15 years ago and wondered about what the hell happened to this band.
era fan de esta banda, y siempre me quedarán sus primeros discos para poder disfrutar de lo que realmente era su esencia. Pero desde su Unia, van cuesta abajo y sin frenos. Y este tema, como el videoclip, son soporíferos, muestra de lo que es el disco. que os a pasado Sonata? antes erais cojonudos. ir por este camino no es la solución desde luego. el más listo fue el Jaani, que supo abandonar el barco en el momento oportuno.
Mejor se unió con timmo y montaron cain's offering que es un proyecto muy superior a este sonata y como dices desde el unia también los he abandonado 😣, un lastima porque eran mis favoritos con Stratovarius!
@@davidyepes111 los dos discos de Cain`s Offering son una joya musical , melodía, temas pegadizos y la enorme voz de Tolkki. estoy deseando que saquen ya el tercer álbum.
@@chapametal08 el álbum debut de The Dark Element muy bueno, temas que enganchan a la primera. mejor que cualquiera de los últimos trabajos de Sonata e incluso de Nightwish. TDE sacan nuevo álbum en breve estoy deseando escucharlo
Too much plinky-plonky for my taste. Again; you're Sonata Arctica. I expect power and musically playfulness when I listen to your music. Looking forward to see you live soon!
I love this album!! Whirlwind is an amazing song. I'm enjoying this album and also I'm not comparing this to their previous work, I appreciate what they did with this album and its amazing.
Savor the music for what it is; this song is unique and good, and in a way, I can't believe today is the day it got released. Who knows, maybe I will reminisce it.
i actually really like the new bass player. his playing is very flavorful and it’s not just the usual really fast alternate picking power metal style bass playing
I quite like it. Nobody ever knows how a band is going to change But sonata have always said they will try things new. It’s a nice song. Well written Granted it’s not got the same edge as the early stuff. But it’s from a good album and very enjoyable
No matter how much they change their style I will always love Sonata. Because their music always lift my spirits.

@@icedearth1ful it's fans like you that made Tony consider the choice of quitting the band good job.
@@gravenwolf6535 maybe it's time to quit if they cant produce the goods anymore. Lots of negative reviews out there for this crap

Has a person who listens Sonata like 15 years, when i see their faces (especially Tony ) now i think: " F* im getting old " . Please keep going ;)
It's more like "f***, WE'RE getting old" - including the band members in the thought
@@ansgarsilberberg indeed 😂 but hey, it's a good thing they kept making good music. Not like before, but still good
12 years here. And I kind of hate it. Because it seems like they are trying to remind me about it EVERY. FUCKING. ALBUM.

@@nevereoftheblackharvest. Dry your eyes kid you have a whole life ahead.
Been listening to them for 11 years, lost track of what they been up to after pariah's child.
I thought they changed drummers because tommy looks so different, had to double check if he was still in the band
Time indeed takes its toll
I am grateful for the work of the band, always helps me in difficult times ♡ with talviyö was no different! thanks for everything !
Thats the point of Music...
@James P Woods I'm sure they really care about your opinion
Me too I think they are really getting me through this tough year I'm fighting so much depression but their songs are very uplifting to me
Same guy here! :D
I was 16. Now 33. And still this is my music. Thank you very much guys!
I love this song! I love you forever Sonata Arctica 😍
Good enough, is good enough guys.... A fan since 1999 here
The sound mixer on this album. That's who failed the most.
here comes the haters thank god u showed up makin it annoying again lmao
Not only this one, but the last few as well. And I think it's the bassist.
I have to agree. This mix doesn't sound good. Especially the bass guitars are way too overwhelming and muddy; the snare has a weird impact reverb.
The complete album is a great fail, in my opinion...:(
I liked the songs, but i have to agree with this, the mixing is not at sonata standards, just listen to any song from Unia and then listen to this and you will know what we're talking about.
i miss the old days, the more powerful days of sonata arctica
This album is some peak damn Sonata, fell in love instantly.
HOY ES EL DIA EN EL QUE SONATA ARCTICA ACABA DE MORIR U.U. 4 CONCIERTOS QUE RECORDARÉ EN LA VIDA. MIS ESPERANZAS MURIERON DESPUES DE ESTE DISCO U.U

Sameeee , always!
💜
And then you remember how shit they became.
One of the greatest bands we had in our interviews.
I really like this Album, but for some reason the recording quality seems muffled, it's just bad?
slightly better on Spotify but still bad. Pasi screwed mixing, even though he's not the only mixing person on this album
sadly i thought the same. i didn't really enjoyed the way the albums were mixed since pasi joined the band, but well, maybe it's just a coincidence
Hmh... difficult to say. Honestly I just think, that the vocals should be like this, but the volume is a bit unbalanced....Maybe it depends how much Bass you push in.
Glad to see that i'm not the only one who hear this mess.
Kinda like the guitar though...

I’m a long time SA fan who loves the older albums more than the new ones but I think this album also has some good songs.....but the entire album is ruined by a vague, blurry and irritating to listen to mixing.

They wanted to make the album sound like it was live for whatever reason
WHOOO NEW SONATA!!!
Don't care what others say, I follow them since their first album and this is one of their best songs ever
MA MA LO NA !!!!!
HERMOSA !!!!
YEHAAAA!!!
Yo era de los que primero les resultó aburrido este álbum pero le di varias escuchadas y es hermoso ya no es power pero el cambio me agrado
The guitar tone is eating everything else, very strange mixing. The bass range is an issue as well. You're Sonata Artica, that's not acceptable.
I think i've pretty much gave up on them at this point. The songs are bland, mixing is bad, I also don't really enjoy the whole politics path they've taken recently. I'll just enjoy their first albums and stop caring about anything else.

Listen to it for a while and then go back to normal speed.
It makes such a big difference. So much more dynamic!
Its so much better lol
Actually... Yes it is. It sounds like how Sonata should sounds like.
Sonata has, for reasons unknown, become slow and cumbersome. They sound like metal but they don't sound like Sonata.
@@TheImmoth Well said!
Great idea thanks, didnt like the original speed at all, but 1.25 and even 1.5 speed sounds so damn good!
Definetly getting this album!!! They sing with such emotion

Listen at 1,25x to remember the old Sonata songs.
LoL

1.75

Im a new fan of sonata, idk a lot about all the sonata's songs but i think that the 2019 album Is great 🤘🤷♂️

Fantastic album. Best one since Unia 👍 and great overall sound/mixing
Notice the sarcasm
@@MorgothBagluir There is no sarcasm here.
It cant be the best since unia, because The Ninth Hour is one of the best Albums ever written

Play the whole album at 1.25x. Everything will be fine.
😂😂😂😂
Damn, you're right.it sounds better
This is nice. I like it.
I gotta say this guy's guitar sounds incredible. Probably one of the best 7-string guitars I've heard. ESP with EMGs.
A voz mas incrível do power metal mundial.
Gotta say, no one else makes such music. It has its style for sure, and I kinda like it.

The new album is a bullshit

I liked the last album tbh. not the first listen but after a few more i really like it.
"Eat shit, millions of flies can't be wrong."
Sonata Arctica
I love it. I love all Sonata Arctica songs. I love Sonata Arctica. A part of me. From SPAIN!
Da sono !!
Seems like this album will be the Sonata's "St. Anger" .
Anger sounded much better than this, even with open snare. Production on this album really sucks
Ecliptica 👌
They've done it again, briliant album, a True masterpiece, Sonata still flies with ravens and ride the northern lights
