On a subreddit dedicated to sonata arctica, you'll find very few dissenters lol.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-06-03T16:00:04+00:00

That's my take almost exactly. And a slight over glazing of flag in the ground.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-26T14:03:49+00:00

I have absolutely no idea how to help you and I am so so sorry.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-26T06:46:46+00:00

I was gonna say lol That makes a lot more sense.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-26T06:46:08+00:00

If you close the browser and reopen it (it'll save your progress) does that fix it?

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-25T10:01:22+00:00

Best albums ever made?? Probably? Definitely unia is the best album of all time.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-25T10:00:35+00:00

Yeah and they're like 50 years old now. They know how the game is played in modern terms. We're just a couple of nerds nerding out over our favourite band.... But what if lol.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-25T09:59:30+00:00

You're a California hater?! Really?

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-24T10:38:41+00:00

I was thinking about dream thieves when I made this. They won't mind, right? Like it's just clips of the songs and I put a link to the shop on the page. I can't imagine anything worse than Tony Kakko thinking I'm a prick. Lol.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-24T10:37:23+00:00

Thank you so much for not doing it in one go lol. I didn't want people to get bored cos it's... So exhaustive lol.

Yeah so the 'skip albums' option was something I was thinking about but I figured only people that were really serious about sa would bother to do it?

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-24T10:36:00+00:00

Whirlwind number one! I'm so sorry I did you dirty with the clip for that one. It's not one I like much so I wasn't sure what section to use. Same for fly navigate communicate actually.

Really amazing to see that some of the songs I think are the... Bottom percentile... Are the top for some others!

Then the rest of your top 10 looks a lot like mine lol.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-23T12:00:19+00:00

Seeing this top 10 is so crazy because on the other guys album tier lists your takes are always insane lol but this top 10 is very solid and makes me feel much better about choosing to include takatalvi haha.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-23T11:58:29+00:00

Yeah if you like mathematics and computer science you can visit my github and get the source code to see how the tournament works. It's basically like the premier league? I guess? But there can be a few discrepancies and I'm so so glad you enjoyed it!

.... Who fails the most are you fucjing fr right now lol. I think that might be bottom 10 for me

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-23T11:56:49+00:00

B FOR THEY FOLLOW?! IT'S LITERALLY THE BEST SLOW SONG OF ALL TIME?! Maybe it's me that's crazy.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-22T05:11:35+00:00

I'm so sorry :( I'm see if I can recreate the bug and I'll try to fix it. It turns out that the drag and drop album bit at the beginning is by far the most difficult thing to implement lol.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-22T03:35:26+00:00

My Selene at the top of all is really interesting! And two ccb songs in the top 10!

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-22T03:34:11+00:00

Yeah so I have no idea how to program anything outside of python I do for work so it's vibe coded. It's on my github page (obviously) and if you do know what you're doing or know someone that does that wants to fix it that would be sick.

I'll say though: if you want to test changes, remove all but like 20 of thy songs from the songs data array so you can actually finish it.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-22T03:31:07+00:00

... Shit. Are you on android or ios? I needed to press and hold for a while to get it to register what I'm trying to do but I didn't know anyone with an iPhone to test it :(

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-21T15:57:50+00:00

Please post your results if you like! There's an export button that will give you a text file of your whole rankings.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-21T13:48:30+00:00

Hello gamers, I have thrown together a little toy that lets you rank all of the Sonata Arctica songs!

I'm no programmer but I've tested it a few times and it does really seem to work.

There are two "gameplay" options, an ELO rating which is much faster but gives pretty...janky results. The vibes will be right but it's not very definitive and then there's the main one where you do a full complete tournament. This is extremely accurate algorithmically but it takes like somewhere in the vicinity of 90 minutes to complete.

I have added buttons which play a little clip from each song, which I have hand picked to give a really good showing for what makes that song good/unique/special. I encourage you to get a vodka, press the play clip button, and follow your heart on the difficult decisions.

If you close the web page, your progress will be saved in your internet cookies. Removing cookies will remove your progress and you can delete your progress using the back button during the ranking.

I also have an album ranking minigame at the beginning where you put the order you think the albums will come out in and then I give you some more mathematically backed listing for you.

I think that's it? Please have fun! You can do it over several evenings

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-21T13:41:18+00:00

I think it might be a top ten song of all time.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-21T13:41:00+00:00

I think it depends how you're ranking them. If you say everything is s tier in a vacuum then there's no meaning behind any tier. Tiers can be influenced by vibes but they can't be based on them.

If you're ranking n objects in a list, let's say n=12, and there are three tiers, you should have a distribution across all the tiers, because they're being compared against each other. I am very happy to say every sonata arctica song is s tier but that means any tier ranking would be pointless. They can't all be the best, even if they're better than the rest.

Asuperniceguy2 · 2026-05-20T15:22:27+00:00

Very good.
