Sonata Arctica Survivor - Reckoning Night - Round 1

[Evermind]

Time to do Reckoning Night! And yeah, I've left Jam out, hope you're not too bothered with this fact.

Come vote!

I like this album, it was once my favourite, but something happened and now it's behind TDOG, Ecliptica, probably even Unia. Maybe I've just overplayed it, dunno. Though it still has my favourite SA song, so, that's something.

I'll start with perhaps unexpected choice, but I somehow can't stand that song. Verses, chorus, slow part, the song just bothers me too much.

Blinded No More

I used to find Blinded No More boring, but nowadays I think it's a great song.

Reckoning Day, Reckoning Night

Best of their albums for me... and Blinded No More is definitely one of the best songs here.

I think Blinded No More is one of the best too.

Title track.

I would say so if it was on SGHN.

Speaking of SGHN, I was surprised BNM wasn't played on the tour for the album, because it would've fit the setlist pretty well because of the mid-tempo hard rock vibe.

Well, there was "2-2-1-1-1-1-7"  distribution of songs by the albums (not counting The Gun). I just assume they played what they wanted to from SGHN; also they probably didn't want to go with only one track from Ecliptica and Silence, since these albums are still kinda loved by the power metal fans (there are a lot people in Russia who goes to see SA live for the power metal songs, I even know a few myself), and that left only one track from every other album in the setlist.

Even though I've got a little bored with Don't Say A Word, I would be seriously irritated if they played BNM instead. It's even got the similar abbreviation with YNM. It's that bad.

Not one of my favourite of their albums to be honest, a lot of the songs I can't even distinguish in my memory. There are a handful of good ones though - Fairytale, Don't Say a Word and Wildfire in particular.
