OMG, I just got Silence, and ive been listening to it over and over and over and you get the point. I have this for maybe a day, and it is my new favorite CD.

The beggining to 'False news travels fast' sounds magical out of a freinds pair of er6's.

everyone who reads this, GET THIS ALBUM!

Nice. I dunno though, I tried some Sonata Arctica after hearing raves about it and it didn't really appeal to me. I'm really picky about the Metal I like though.

Thy're pretty good, I liked their first album a whole lot, though the singer can be somewhat annoying at times. Something about their sound just isn't quite up to par in my book, just a matter of taste, I'm sure, since I really like a number of euro power metal bands.

If you like Sonata Arctica or any Finnish power metal band for that matter, check out Stratovarius: it's the band they all ripped off.

I like what I've heard of Stratovarius a lot more. Maybe I should look more into them

Yeah, they're the standards, although you can clearly trace their influences back to Malmsteen, Helloween, Maiden, etc. Sonata obviously has the same style, but I wouldn't say they're "ripping off" Strato unless we talk about songs that seem to be copied, or something like that.

Strat is one of my fav bands now, ive liked them for a while.
