Yesterday's path on my #SonataArctica#Metaljourney ended with an all time low. Let's forget that and start fresh with "Pariah's Child", Sonata Arctica's 8th studio album.
It doesn't start with an intro track, but with a quite old school #PowerMetal song:
Clear Cold Beyond was on its way to a 4 star rating (=great) , but then comes the second half that brings back the corny ballads (Teardrops, The Best Things, title track) and my rating drops to a (still good) 3.5/5.
Man there's so much potential for real greatness - but at least for me- they ruin it with their Diseny movie soundtrack stuff.
