Even if it's all metal video game or cartoon music, it was still pretty fun. Shotgun City was more or less unimpressive. Shadows Entwined had zero rhythm with their own song, which was visually impairing. Unless my brain has malfunctioned, it's not uncommon for bands to have stuff with their name/music on it. On top of that, they had the gaul to advertise their merchandise and CDs during their time on stage. Then they kept babbling, acting like everyone came there specifically for them. Mutiny Within confused me, since I had heard their album and wasn't unhappy with it I was hoping for a good show.

Shotgun City, Shadows Entwined, and Mutiny Within were all rubbish. It was billed as three bands (Sonata Arctica, Powerglove, and Mutiny Within), but Shadows Entwined and Shotgun City were there. The only reason this isn't a five-star review is because it took so long to get through crap bands. Perhaps Shamandalie? or Wildfire? I don't know, all I know is that when you come down here again I will again purchase my tickets three months in advance, come two hours early and hope with all my heart that you will play something different! Less predictable and WOW us! That's what we want and you didn't do that. I would have rather you cut one of the four opening bands and added some some of your more meaningful and unique songs. You have such an amazing repertoire to choose from why not play something different EVERY TIME you come down here? Friday night's set list seemed just too similar and repetitive from the last time you came down here. I could say the same for Silence, Reckoning Night, and Winterheart's Guild. How about throwing in some My Land, Destruction Preventer, Blank File, Letter to Dana or any of those amazing songs? Provide us with more variety. Playing only Fullmoon and 8th commandment from Ecliptica was a big let down. The only thing that was somewhat of a let down was the chosen set list. He played in good taste, while also displaying his masterful command of the keytar. Henrik Klingenberg had a brilliant solo mixed in. Tony Kakko was flawless as always hitting all the right notes, maintaining perfect intonation, and had perfect phrasing not clipping off a single note.

When Sonata Arctica finally came on, they were beyond expectation. Sonata sounded sensational, but predictable.
