| I think it is not an album you can love from the first listen. I think it's pretty normal that at the start you didn't truly like it. Some songs are pretty weird (like Zeroes) and very dark but when you listen to it, it's like it's better at each listen!

Well, I have to agree with you. Even Tony said in an interview that he didn't want Flag in The Ground to be a single, but he was "forced" to choose it. I don't hate the song, but the first half is pretty boring and repetitive, then it gets better with "I stuck my flag on the ground..." |
Maybe Flag In The Ground sounded so glorious to someone as a name that they wanted it as a single  It is a rather weak song at the beginning. Haven't listened to Sonata for a while now tho

| Ya, the new album was really weird, kinda like a cmobo of Unia, and Winterheart's Guild, and some other song i cant thnk of right now, but I have to say the last amazing grays is the best |
