- Ranking Includes the new one, 'Clear Cold Beyond.' I probably won't do a lot of metal (perhaps sometimes) but certain acts kind of break through. Overall I'm not as excited for their new releases as I once would've been, but I still find a huge portion of their output respectable, and of course a top few ranging from good to pretty much perfect.

It's really surprising to see a person who mainly likes their early period and generally power metal songs dropping the 3rd album there and putting unia and ninth hour so high 😅
However, I'd disagree with how much difference most people seem to find between their albums. They never played pure and traditional power metal as Tony himself has said. They already started adding progressive elements/songs from silence like power of the one and increased a bit in the next 2 alums as you mentioned. The feeling of the main melodies remained similar throughout.
The only thing is that the almost abandoned power metal since Unia and returned with Clear cold beyond, but other than that they kept their unique style to a large extent.
To me it's really hard to rank their albums because I've got an unusually large number of somgs through their whole career I like more or less the same. Stone grows ger name and Talviyo are my least favourite, but I like all of them.
Also, they've got some great bonus tracks that I'm surprised they aren't in the 'normal' album like No pain, They follow and in the dark.
Even my favourite songs from this band are scattered all over the place (for example Full moon, The power of the one, Broken, White Pearls Black Oceans, They follow, Deathaura, Larger than life, White pearl black oceans part II and Dark empath).
I guess that is strange in a way. It's not completely that I'd rather listen to like Unia, or Stones Grow Her Name, over the third album on most days, it's more that for me the third album is a little chronologically disappointing, kind of similar in form but way less catchy than the first two :).
@@ajmusic91 Ok then it's less surprising 😅
I think it's quite usual people ranking the first 4 more or less together. And then there are the 2 groups 'Unia was the first bad album' Vs 'Unia was the last good album'. But ok those people don't like anything from the new Sonata Arctica
