Not that short, extremely sweet

"Sonata Arctica may not be the fastest, the most progressive, or the "hardest" power metal act out there, but when you put everything they do together, they really are the best of all worlds. I'm a hard-core S.A. junkie who loves them both live and in the studio, and I jumped at the chance to snag more of their tracks. That's what this EP delivers: more of the stuff that makes S.A. traffic-stoppingly great. Of special interest to serious fans is the track "Shy", which continues the "Dana" romantic story arc. It's also great to hear S.A. covering some of the greats, especially the vintage Helloween track "I Want Out". A definite must for S.A. devotees or people interested in getting a taste of what all the hype is about."
