Re: The state of the forum
I feel like there was a sweet spot between the chaos and the normal posting, that we crossed many years ago. Then there was awhile when all of the 'spammers' went away, and the forum was just COMPLETELY dead.

Re: SONATA ARCTICA – New Album "Pariah’s Child"
Its good to here the old sonata inserted here and there in this new one. What is up with that guy on x marks the spot? :lol: That, and that one dude explaining what blood is kinda kill the vibe at times, but this certainly feels like Tony has got a bit of his old sensibilities back.

Re: SONATA ARCTICA - Ecliptica (2014 Re-Record)
I think that Ecliptica is a fine record, and that Tony is a fool for dragging it through a rerecording. I think that even Flag in the Ground, which was a great composition from that time period, was completely underwhelming from Tony's new sensibilities, and I'm still not convinced he really unders...

You know? Everytime I post something about Sonata, you've 95% of the times been negative about it. I don't know what did I even expect. I've got as nuanced an opinion on Sonata as I do on most bands. I love their early work up through Unia, thought that Tony completely lost his mind and released tw...

Kiske's Past in Different Ways was somehow "insulting" to his earlier works, but you have to realize it's just a different approach. Two different entities. They can't be compared, you just listen! 8) He's still my favorite singer. Whether in Avantasia or Unisonic or his solo projects he still mana...

Re: SONATA ARCTICA - Ecliptica (2014 Re-Record)
Do you know why a musician should never apologize for bad sound at a concert? Because even if everything is absolutely fine, or completely fucked, you don't want to draw the audience's attention that way. A good musician never insults his own work, even if it sucks, because when you insult something...

I just would like to point out... My favorite solo musician, Mr. Mike Oldfield (whom you may have seen at the London 2012 opening ceremony) re-recorded his first 1973 album, Tubular Bells in the year 2003. The re-recorded version sounds very different, but let us remember... these re-recorded album...

Wow Tony. You recorded a FINE album, several years into your bands career, that had no major production errors, no major performance errors, and was generally well liked, and you want to rerecord it?
Wow.
Wow.

Disforia
So, in the course of covering the metal scene, I have the distinct pleasure of coming across some small time bands that are really talented, and really underexposed. One such band is Utah's Disforia. Yes, that's right, metal from UTAH. Anyways, they're really cool guys and they're trying to crowdsou...

I think Tolkki has no need of business, as he is swimming in money. I think he does this for what I call passion (and detractors call "he has nothing better to do with his life").

Re: SONATA ARCTICA – New Album "Pariah’s Child"
I think Tony's pseudo-emo deep emotional bent gave a unique quality to the music when he was writing absolutely awesome melodies. But I'm also pretty confident that Jani Liimitainen was mostly responsible for why the band was great and since he's left, Tony is just flat on his face. Honestly, betwee...
