01. Broken [Edit version]
02. Broken
03. Dream Thieves
04. The Gun

This is a pretty interesting release, because before the release, well pretty long before the release, of their new album ?Winterheart's Guild? ?Sonata Arctica? play two songs, that wasn's from any album of E.P. Those songs were ?The Gun? and ?Dream Thieves?, the later one, the more famous of the two.
And, so everyone did believe that this was two 'sasters? from their new album that soon should be recorded.
And so came the new release, ?Winterheart's Guild? and everyone that heard those two songs wondered -Were is ?Dream Thieves? & ?The Gun??
The answer was easy but somehow strange.
?Those two songs didn's fit into the concept of ?Winterheart's Guild? and we don's know if we ever going to release them?, did ?Sonata? say.
After a while, the news of a new E.P. from ?Sonata? was released, and on that E.P. (Named ?Broken?) should the title song appear twice, one original version and one edit version AND two previous unreleased track, ?Dream Thieves? and ?The Gun?.

?So, how are those two songs like?? Well, ?Dream Thieves? it's a pretty hard history, one of the hardest and fastest songs I ever heard ?Sonata? done. It hasn's really any song that likes it.
Something special that ?Sonata? is giving to us.
?The Gun? is also very special, but it somehow fits into the ?Sonata? pattern.
A kind of mid-tempo song could you said, but little faster, it's no ?Broken? or alike.
I don's think that the title song (?Broken?) really need some closer description, it's a really nice ?Sonata? mid-tempo song, is the way ?Sonata? does them, best in the entire world.
There aren's many singers that can do it better than Tony; he's voice is amazing.

This is the E.P. you should get if you love ?Sonata Arctica?, it gives you something new with the group, and not just some kind of edit version and a live version, as many singles does.
