I was amazed at how well this song captured the essence of that in just a few minutes. The person has feelings and desires that he can't deal with, and it pretty much drives him insane. We often forget that these kinds of situations are not simply two-sided, a victim and a freak, it's often more complex than that. The lyrics are downright spinechilling, and oddly touching. It's a ballad about a guy who is apparently stalking a woman he is in love with. One song in particular really stuck with me. You've got fast-paced rockers like 'Weballergy' and 'Land of the Free', and great ballads like 'Last Drop Falls' and 'Tallulah'. There are tons of great songs, and a fairly strong degree of variety. I'm not yet sure how this compares to the debut, but it's definitely more epic. Wow! Another great one! It seems that SA is going to be another Iced Earth, and put out one perfect album after another.

So, finally, I get around to buying this one, the brand new sophomore effort from Sonata Arctica. After buying the debut album 'Ecliptica', and being immensely impressed by it, I was eager to get more albums from this band.
