Sonata Arctica - Unia

[1928]

Heard the album already (man I have no self control), I think it's really good, but not what I was expecting. I do think there are too many slow songs/ballads, but the first four songs on the album rock hard.

It took me about five listens to reach my conclusion but I adore Unia. Strange at first, but on repeated listening it's not THAT different really. They've clearly matured and it shows in every aspect. It's one of the best albums I've heard in years.

There's a review at http://www.myspace.com/something_sinister on my blog if you want it in more detail.

The bonus tracks are awesome by the way on both the European and Japanese version. Hunt them down!!

I'm more interested in hunting down the lyrics, haha.
