Bocata Calamares Posts: 38	Permalink 10.07.2009 - 14:57 Bocata Calamares Posts: 38 Is it just me or this album has a "darker" feeling just by looking at some song names and the cover? (Which rules, btw ). I really hope the experiments are over after Unia and this will be a more "serious" album. And also hope not to hear three-thousand layers of Tony's vocals on every melody, which really annoys me . Looking forward to listen to this Loading...

Dargor Posts: 168	Permalink 10.07.2009 - 19:53 Dargor Posts: 168 Unlike most people, I really hope this one will follow the path they took for Unia. I really enjoyed the album and think it's their best so far. But don't get me wrong, I love the other albums, I just prefer Unia. It trully sounds unique compared to the rest and it's easy to tell it is Sonata just by the sound and feeling. Loading...

It trully sounds unique compared to the rest and it's easy to tell it is Sonata just by the sound and feeling. Unia was great! Most fans here disagree, but most fans in general i believe really enjoyed Unia. You have to give it a chance... if you have no patience or desire to give an album more than two listens, you will not like Unia. If you give it a chance, odds are good you'll like it. I'll be happy if Days of Grays is a mix between Unia style SA and older, more catchy SA. It'll be great either way, c'mon, it's Sonata Arctica! ---- But I Justify My Desire to No One Loading...

Angelique Bitchy Moderator Elite Posts: 3563	Permalink 10.07.2009 - 22:58 Angelique Bitchy Moderator Elite Posts: 3563 Tony actually mentioned in an interview of Finnish music website that this upcoming album is a lot darker and reminds them of Silence.. Well that's what they always say but he did go on quite detailed about the two different style of SA, and said this album is back to roots.. he doesn't regret of doing something like Unia and believes that they reached a lot of new fans with it as at the same time maybe lost too but this album would be going back to original.

It looks like some card from Magic or Catan with an additional skull in the clouds and the band logo superimposed. Lame. Even more so as that dark background makes me really miss the edgier old band logo. ---- All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu... This is the truth!
