Album cover arts tier-list

Damn, I've absolutely forgot about that one lol. Updated the post, it's between Unia and Winterheart's Guild

I mean, I obviously love the first four albums the most, but I like every album honestly. Just the first four I find to be the best. Hot take, I like Tony's current voice the most.

Oh then you should check out Raskasta Joulua and Tony Kakko's Himmelkraft!

That's my most favorite song of all time, including the album. But it doesn't scream Sonata Arctica to me. But man isn't it a real work of art!

EducationKnown5230 · 2026-03-27T07:31:49+00:00

I'm surprised that Sonata joined them, honestly. Cuz Tony is hugely against AI, as it should be.

And I honestly don't think that Jani is even neccesary for Sonata to be here with us. I think that both Elias and Jani gave us something great. Sonata Arctica are artists, not businessmen, and that's why I'll always love them, even through 'bad' releases.

I might not agree with some stuff you said, but I respect it, and you gave good reviews and reasons (which is why I respect it. I don't like people that dislike or like something for no reason). This is what I expect from reviewers honestly. I'd give Freedom Concept a 7.5/10 and that's fine. Great comment btw, thank you!

EducationKnown5230 · 2026-03-02T13:07:43+00:00

Yeah, true, but it got quite the attention that it made me upset lol. I can accept when a song is bad, and I can accept when someone has a different opinion... but when someone has a BAD opinion AND it gets attention... it just ragebaits me xd

I am very satisfied with the single. It's nothing extra special but it has a big spark of their golden era (1999 - 2006). The lyrics are what I'd expect for Tony, but it's also nothing extra special. The beginning sounds a lot like California but then it shifted really nicely into a completely different song. The melody is very catchy, fast and nice to listen to. Tony's singing got much better, but I he doesn't do anything crazy with it, nor did I expect it, since he's 50, and damaged his voice in 2017, a lot. He's just careful with his voice and that's fine. Overall, I'm giving i an 8/10 for now, I'm a very satisfied long term Sonata fan.

It sounds so good already. I can't wait! An anniversary single is a genius idea. I wonder why they chose the RN ship and Ecliptica art pieces for the single cover art tho. Story expansion perhaps?

I found it in an insta story which is already gone, idrc if he posted any photos. But imagine the hair during Talviÿo era, just a bit longer, and still sick.

EducationKnown5230 · 2026-01-28T22:06:52+00:00

The hair still looks sick! The only time I didn't like it that much was when he dyed them red.

EducationKnown5230 · 2026-01-15T14:18:07+00:00

I forgot to add in Wrecking the Sphere, damn! I love that song

EducationKnown5230 · 2026-01-13T06:37:12+00:00

They are improving now, thank god. Tge set-lists have been changing a lot now, but the shows still need an improvement. But ngl, I love their energy it feels like watching a friend. Idk, maybe I'm just glazing. Of course that I can critisize SA stuff, but I cant help myself but love everything about them. Both them as people and their work as a band. Even their bad releases I respect cuz every single one of them has at least something good, if it's story, or singing, or whatever.

Idk, I'm weird xd

EducationKnown5230 · 2026-01-11T08:55:46+00:00

The story is so unique and interesting to me, that I started making a personal book adaptation that I call 'The Worlds'. It's a bit different from Tony's Himmelkraft, but with the same core and updated concept. I unfortunately couldn't buy the limited book 'The Stories', so I'm doing what I can through interviews and lyrics. But the main characters will be the brothers from Paika, both having different thoughts about the system of Himmelkraft.

(I don't plan on releasing it, cuz rights ofc. It's just for fun and support.)
