However, I'm damn stoked about this, even though I think it won't be really good, they've had a streak of bad luck creating this. |

| I agree. I doubt I'll be buying this. In fact, I haven't actually enjoyed anything Sonata Arctica has released since Winterheart's Guild. |

|
| If they don't retrieve the right way, like winterheart's guild or reckoning night, i'll never buy any more dvd or ep that they release |

Coool, this DVD sounds awesome, ofc I wont buy it, I'll be ended up downloading it as all the time...  |

| This is truly amazing! Sonata are the best! |

| Didn't like anything from The Days of Grays. Unia, although a good album, just did not carry the same 'energy' that I had known Sonata Arctica for. So I will probably not be buying this DVD. I will however, continue to watch the previous fantastic one, 'For the Sake of Revenge'. |

Well, they won't die without you, nor any of their fans turned haters, soooo... And yeah, there is no 'right' way, only the ones you prefer. |

| I think their newer albums are far more interesting than their straight forward power metal albums like Silence so I think that this dvd can be good |

I Love Sonata Arctica, but I really don't care about live DVDs. I want a new album!
And I agree with moe5512, the 2 last albums are far more creative and interesting. I love the old Sonata, but the new Sonata is better IMO.  |

| This is awesome! I can't wait! Old Sonata, new Sonata, I don't care, I love it all! However, I really want some more Sonata! |

Well, the point is not in the setlist, they always have a good setlist, I just don't think that the overall quality of the DVD will be as good as I'm hoping for |

Well, it was delayed two times, so, call me superstitious, but they've had a LOT of bad luck trying to record this. But then again, maybe the third time was the charm after all we'll just have to wait and see. Sonata shows are awesome and packed with energy, but for a live DVD, I've always pictured something really visually and sound-wise astounding, like Kamelot's or Dark Tranquillity's DVDs...so, we'll see if they achieved that level of perfection |

I'd say anything after Unia (including it more or less). |

Why do I start thinking about Wintersun's "Time" when I read your post  But anyhow, as Henrik said, they have worked their asses of editing and shit whole summer so at least they are trying for something big
edit: the place where they recorded the show is the same as on Amorphis's dvd and that one was really beautifully made |

Henkka seems to be in charge of all Sonata blogging these days Yeah, I'm really happy about that, I've read in an interview that no one is really pleased with the way FTSoR turned out. It was a nice DVD for the fans, but it could have been so much better. |

Then call me a teenage girl! (which I am not, actually a grown man)  |

I've been to a Sonata Arctica concert. There was like a 1 girl to 20 guy ratio. In fact, I WISH you were right about that, I would much prefer to see a band I like in concert with a lot of hot teenage girls than a bunch of sweaty guys.  |

Don't get me wrong, I do kinda like Sonata Arctica, but I wouldn't say "originality" is really their thing. And "creative" is probably one of the last adjectives I'd use to describe anything related to the band.  |

Opinions, funny things You can't deny at least that they're being creative in giving names (FTSoR, if anyone remembers the story) or explaining why certain albums have certain names (some Silence and Unia interviews come to mind)

Wooow, now you made me happy, I love that DVD and the venue  |

Haters... well... haters... GONNA HATE!  (nothing personal, my friend, just a little humour drop! )
And also call me a teenage girl if this is a valid parameter to qualify the tastes of the people. Man, not all people will have your tastes as not all people will have my tastes and the other ones' also. Is just a matter of respect about whatever the people likes. |

Yeah, but the first one is only a live recording (and not a very good one) and this is a DVD |
