Reviews
Says Siavash Nezhad of metal-observer, "It's fantastic to see Sonata Arctica being recognized as one of the greats in the Power Metal genre, and it's fantastic to see some very prominent bands cherishing Sonata Arctica." He previously criticized the cover of Xeno. It is too Metalcore-heavy.
