We Finns got the album today.

I'm liking what I hear so far. I'll wait before you guys get your hands on it before saying anything else.

Lucky Finn-duck. I still can't decide which versions to order.

I think I might cry. SA will be playing here I think a week from today and I have no money.

They're going to be here in October, but as an opener for Dragonforce

I hope they come back. I'd like to see them live

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #147 on:** September 19, 2009, 10:25:51 AM »

How is the new album? I probably have the vinyl lying at my place, but I'm at my parent's now.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #148 on:** September 20, 2009, 09:25:26 AM »

I just got the single in the mail from Finland, and I have to say....I really like the packaging for some reason. When I first saw it, I was like, "...I think all singles should come like this." because it's good, but understated as it should be.

I need to get around to ordering the album as well.

Of all people, you still need to get the album? :O

Either my neighbor has my vinyl edition now, or it's coming somewhere next week.

The U.S. release date is the 22nd

ariich · « **Reply #151 on:** September 20, 2009, 02:18:25 PM »

Woot, that means it comes out here tomorrow!

I didn't know you were from the US.

The vinyl edition hasn't arrived yet. Probably tomorrow or the day after then

I take pride in being the only Sonata fan in the U.S.

I don't think I'll be getting the vinyl this time. It would be cool if you could take some pictures to show us, though

(well, that's if it has cool artwork on the disc or anything)

Sure, if I actually get the vinyl. There were some problems with ordering, but I think it's fine now

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #155 on:** September 22, 2009, 06:53:53 AM »

Hurray, my vinyl edition just arrived. I'll make a pic of the inside artwork tonight. Going to listen to it in a min

. Haven't heard a single track from it yet.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #156 on:** September 22, 2009, 02:37:21 PM »

I still don't have it

hopefully tomorrow

So I have some money now, just enough to go to the show! Not enough to get the album though.

It's probably not a good idea financially, but my city isn't exactly a popular one, so they may never come back.

ariich · « **Reply #158 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:13:47 PM »

Listening now on Spotify!

sonatafanica · « **Reply #159 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:21:39 PM »

No retailers in the U.S. have the 2 CD edition, and no stores anywhere near where I live are selling the album at all

I would pay to buy it from their webshop, but with shipping and everything included, it would come out to over $45 (€32 or £28.60), which I would not pay under any circumstance for just a digipak.

So guess what. Sonatafanica is going to be the last person on Earth to hear the new Sonata Arctica album.

ariich · « **Reply #160 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:24:54 PM »

Ah man that sucks! Could you not just order it from amazon or something?

By the way Deathaura is definitely the most bizarre SA song ever!

sonatafanica · « **Reply #161 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:34:48 PM »

Amazon has the 1 disc version, but I ultimately want the 2 disc, and buying the same music twice would be a waste of money. It's not like I'm low on cash, I'm just conscious about how I spend it. Also, Amazon no longer supports Paypal, which is my only way of online payment as I pay from my bank account.

I tried Amazon.co.uk, but they're not allowed to ship the album to the U.S.

ariich · « **Reply #162 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:41:30 PM »

Really?! Amazon US can ship things here!

ariich · « **Reply #163 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:45:21 PM »

Hmm, amazon US has it on "import" for $40: https://www.amazon.com/Days-Grays-Ltd-Dcd/dp/B002F1JMI8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1253821329&sr=1-1

Although doing it that way is probably more expensive than ordering it from Amazon UK and having it shipped to the US.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #164 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:47:35 PM »

And it's not released on their site until October 6th anyways.

The world is not working in my favor.

faemir · « **Reply #165 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:55:56 PM »

What is with the lack of guitar solos

ariich · « **Reply #166 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:57:11 PM »

If it makes you feel any better, my Spotify keeps dying on me, so I'm not even halfway through the album yet!

Oh, and some of the lyrics are the typical lols I've come to expect from SA. One song starts with "I take my hat off"

There are 4 guitar solos out of 12 tracks.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #169 on:** September 24, 2009, 02:06:14 PM »

They have been moving towards less guitar oriented music...

And the problem is? I'd rather that than Megadeth's 50 solos in 11 songs

sonatafanica · « **Reply #171 on:** September 24, 2009, 02:14:08 PM »

Fuck it, I'm listening to it on Grooveshark.

ariich · « **Reply #172 on:** September 24, 2009, 02:16:12 PM »

Omg Juliet is an awesome song!

What's Grooveshark?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #173 on:** September 24, 2009, 02:17:57 PM »

Spotify, but less organized and available to everyone. It's free though, and powered by advertisements, I believe.

ariich · « **Reply #174 on:** September 24, 2009, 02:42:48 PM »

Ah ok, cool. The free version of spotify is funded via ads as well, although I pay for the premium version now that I'm earning as it really is a great service and I'm keen to support it. And they do have a hell of a lot of stuff!
