Yo Q, have you heard the full album yet? I just got the promo for it and I have to say, it is ten million times better than the single lets on. As I mentioned in my review of the single I dont think that the band will EVER top Ecliptica but this one is up there, better than Silence and Winterheart's Guild. For me though the absolute best of Sonata is Ecliptica and the Successor EP. I take it by your review you liked their cover of Two Minds, One Soul by Vanishing Point. Its off their second album "Tangled in Dream" on LMP (they're one of the ten GOOD bands on that label now). You should check them out they are a really great band stradlling Prog Metal with Melodic Hard Rock, I've been crying for them to come to Prog Power since PP III.
