Who's summer? --Dayn 16:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Couldn't someone find a higher resolution picture for the album cover? It looks kind of cheap right now... Zouavman Le Zouave ( Talk to me! • O)))) 09:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks that's great! ^^ Zouavman Le Zouave ( Talk to me! • O)))) 10:11, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
This album has a lot of arena rock and rock opera influences. It's a very ungeneric power metal album (most of Sonata Arcticas songs break the mold of power metal, they don't sound at all like Edguy or HammerFall which are pretty generic) What would be the best way of describing this on the page? 76.102.117.133 03:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC) robberbaron
I'm changing the genre on the page to power metal/progressive metal. I personally would leave it as power with some mention to progressive aspects in the article but that's just me. Offski 12:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
It's seriously not progressive metal. Progressive metal makes use of uncommon time signatures, keys and tempos. The majority of this album all has the same time signature/tempo. Also, it's much more vocal-orientated, with most of the guitars being simple power chords. The solos are short and are often done on the keyboard. Progressive metal's solos are long and/or fast and technical, and on guitars. Progressive metal is a lot more guitar orientated, and rarely uses power chords. Even during chorus's and verses, most progressive metal uses melodies. The only slightly progressive metal aspect on Unia is the lack of common verse-chorus structure, but that's not exactly unheard of in power metal either.
