[R] Sonata Arctica-The Days of Grays (2009) 
Sonata Arctica have vanished into thin air, broke out as a soap bubble is too large to continue to twirl in the air.
They have taken away the gray aliens up there beyond the hills of Far Far Away (
and headlights and circuses and slaughterhouses of werewolves and stalkers and losers sexy maids and soldiers )
in a dark spot where no We know nothing is given. morning
-a- despite myself I had the inestimable pleasure of listening to a preview of The Days of Grays, according to the product of mental disorder Kakko (
rusty with that jewel of Unia, food for dogs ... ). Album of the 'golden age of Sonata
-alas-labile no trace (except for The Last
Amazing Grays and Flag in the Ground, songs which are reminiscent of the power of a time ).
first impression I got listening to the album: -What's this? Is this a FAKE? E-luckily they had said that
Codest was a more linear Unia
... what are all these vocal lines? Will they ever live to propose the Sonata Deathaura? Why Kakko-lance of continuous urletti the envy of a bitch in heat or a porn star? He decided to devote himself to black? Even then castrated Kotipelto has more respect for my ears ... - Hmm ... it seems more the soundtrack of a film that an album ...
chatted and waited The album opens with the instrumental
Everything Fades to Gray , melancholic piece that I liked very much and certainly out of place in the finished product seems to belong to a moving soundtrack.
creepy. One passes
Deathaura , difficult piece of assimilation.
Jhoanna Kurkela (
delicious nag Finnish singer, host of the album ) plays the role of a girl-
after being wrongly singled out as a witch- is fed into the flames. The confusing-but
nice, everything -added song has (like many others
) too many vocals.
If nothing else, the Prophet Elias to show his work well. It continues with The Last Amazing Grays and
Flag in the Ground, the songs we already got to know thanks to the single released a few days ago. Both are the only excerpts of power in The Days of Grays.
The fifth track is a short
Breathing, a melodic ballad strappalacrime as befits each album sounds that you respect yourself. It continues with
Zeroes and The Dead Skin
, I think more about the kinds of the album tracks. In Unia
style, songs that should sound progressive, but I find no rhyme or reason. disturbing and just:
just think that my ears started to bleed like those of Christ on the cover of "Tinnitus Sanctus" (last
and questionable work of Edguy ). The show continues with
As If the World Was Ending , a slow that will definitely be pleased to hear after listening to psychedelic two previous tracks.
But now comes the fun: the girl finally the result of the persistent attentions of a stalker has a name. Will Juliet
to escape the pressures of Tony / Caleb? This song is not very exceptional to me strangely hit.
No dream can heal a broken heart is a beautiful duet between Tony and Kurkela;
The Truth Is Out There and the full version of
Everything Fades to Gray are two excellent songs and fans placed at the end of this work
decidedly eccentric. The bonus track
In the Dark would be enjoyable if it were not for the text too dull. If you do not want to risk seeing hearts everywhere and pink clouds, therefore, throw it away. At the risk of sounding repetitive
(for which odd reason I'm talking about the plural?) , now we draw yet another psychological caricature.
Days of The Grays, as each album, not is nothing but a journey inside the mind of the person who wrote it. How
Unia, can only amplify our fears, to shed a drop of fuel to the flames and transform everything into a big nightmare, in a cacophony of colors and sounds and spirals of fine madness. The first album of Sonata
no longer exist: they were completed, and grew more disillusioned by life and its troubles.
And everything with them, is fading into gray.
While listening to these songs we feel observed, oppressed by strange forces in our expectation of a collapse. Days of The Grays is a way better job of Unia, but still has to be digested piano.Sicuramente floor in front of the album are more mature and heard Sonata
(but this was easy to guess) . Of note texts fans, quirky and poignant enough.
The new product, therefore, earns a seven or eight. Good
also evidence of Elias: The guy definitely knows his stuff.
