Extra Notes

[davidn]

I have found out that the last track on the American version of Sonata Arctica's "Reckoning Night" is not Wrecking the Sphere at all, but a completely different bonus track simply entitled Jam.

Infinite is pretty good from first impressions, with highlights being A Million Light Years Away, Glory of the World, and the almighty opener Hunting High and Low. They have included some of Stratovarius's trademark awkward pauses in some songs, though on second listen I've concluded that the instrumental from Phoenix isn't quite as horrific as I thought.

I've also noticed the cover art is a lot better than most of Derek Riggs' recent work. While it's in his modern, more computery and clean style, which I'm not usually a fan of, the actual content of it seems as clever as it was back when he used to do cover work for Iron Maiden.
