There’s no doubt about the band making a big impression on the whole scene with this CD. 3:54.Of Silence+Weballergy - Sonata Arctica. The guitar playing is strikingly good, and the keyboards go well with the music. The vocals remind here and there of Joey Tempest (!), though Tony Kakko has a much greater range.
Sure, the great melodies are still there, but I think the debut had a stronger identity. The material itself was also more mature and especially varied. This time his vocals had improved a lot and also the production was a large step forward. Their debut was still a bit underproduced and Tony Kakko’s vocals still sounded a bit immature. The songs are a little more anonymous, as you don’t remember them all when the last song fades out. Sonata Arctica’s Silence still stands firm. However, this CD doesn’t have as strong songs as the debut, “Replica”, which took the scene by surprise.
Music: Sonata Arctica - Of Silence & Weballergy (With lyrics) Enjoy. What makes these kids stand out are the incredible melodies they make, as well as their great guitar player. Sonata Arctica - Of Silence & Weballergy. I’d be interested to hear what they are doing now.Sailing up as the outsiders to throne now that Stratovarius wisely have decided to take a break, Finnish Sonata Arctica releases their second full length CD. In many ways it’s a solid continuation of the good work put into their debut Ecliptica (1999).
“The power of one” (track 14)-which was originally the album’s closing track, and lasts 11′ 36″-it closes with white noise, then silence, and then a few seconds before the track ends, a deep voice speaks something like “I didn’t fucking touch the mic, hold on!” Conclusionįor a tricky second album, Sonata Arctica seemed to have pulled this off pretty well. Silence crazyhands22 There are a couple of songs that dont stand out to me, but overall 'Silence' is a worthy addition to Sonata Arcticas catalog. There are some nice mid-paced songs such as “Sing in silence” (track 9) and “Tallulah” (track 11) which really help break up the album and introduce a new dimension and depth to Sonata Arctica’s sound. “Weballergy” (track 2) is the sequel to the opening track from their debut, “Blank file”, which continues the theme of web privacy. The album opens with “…of silence” (track 1): padding keyboards and a mildly cheesy spoken vocal. Melodic, poppy AOR-style, Helloween-flavoured power metal with power ballads aplenty and souring, widdly guitar solos. More of the same from Finland’s power metal quartet (now a quintet on this album).
