If you enjoy Sonata Arctica’s music, you do so despite the occasionally cringe or giggle inducing lyric, the often clunky song titles, and Tony Kakko’s uniquely melodramatic worldview. But why the need for a warning sticker at all…? Its because post-2007 Sonata Arctica have the misfortune of being saddled with the weight of rather grand expectations, and perhaps because as fans we see our expectations through the 20/20 vision of hindsight. Perhaps by the time I arrive at the conclusion of this review we’ll have a message for that sticker that does the job. Perhaps we can impose some self-made restrictions upon ourselves to keep it short and sweet - a twitter style 140 character limit then? Yeah we’ll go with that. I’m not quite sure exactly what the wording of the message would be, but it’d have to get its point across succinctly since there would be an obvious character limit. I wonder if every new Sonata Arctica release shouldn’t come with a warning sticker on the front.
