My hopes for the album have raised a bit now.

Def more Days of Grays than the 'old' sound they said they're going to go back to, but it's just one song so far.

Sweet dominant bass riff out of nowhere

mmm. pretty catchy with just one listen. kinda excited.

It doesn't compare to older Sonata Arctica for me... Its about on tier with Unia, so its good, but not amazing.

The verses are kinda disappointing but everything else (intro, chorus, bridge) ruled. Not spectacular but
definitely better than whatever that last album was.

Better than most of their recent shit. Still, not la at the same level of their classics, even unia is better
