5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for all Sonata Arctica fans!, March 13, 2003

By	Joseph Wallace "josewall" (Savannah, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

sure it's a bit pricey for 4 songs..one of which (Black Sheep) appears on their "Silence" cd, but you get three tracks you won't find anywhere else...an acostic and far better version of Mary-Lou, a 100% better version of Midler's Wind Beneath My Wings, and an Iron Maiden cover as well! (Die With Your Boots On)...I suppose because of the price it appeals to only the die hard Sonata fans...but this is the kind of band you will either love or hate...and if you love 'em, you'll need this one added to your collection...also check out their new (2003) EP called "Victoria's Secret"...it has a cover of Metallica's Fade to Black!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awsome EP!!!, November 22, 2001

By	Thomas Baldwin (HELL) - See all my reviews

When I poped this CD into my player I knew from the very start that this was going to be a great CD!! All the songs on here are great Black Sheep from the Silence album and an acoustic version of mary-lou which sounds better than the original version even an Irom Maiden Cover!! But thats not all this cd also comes with the kicken music video Wolf and Raven in where some guy is running through the woods and finds a haunted house. The video has stunning special effects where the entire band is playing but they are all transperant ghosts!!! There is more as well on this CD not only do you get the music video but you also get a interview with 3 members of the band in where they talk a bit about the upcoming gig in japan and they ask them if they will try sushi when they go there hahaha. Overall this CD is awsome and definetly worth the price that amazon is asking for it. But I do have one complaint about this CD. Sonata has covered a Bet Midler song "Wind Beneath my Wings" I hate this song and I always will hate it. But there more good stuff on this CD than bad stuff so buy it its wirth the money if your a true sonata arctica fan you NEED this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars For True Sonata Arctica Fans!!!, September 6, 2005

By	Reijo Piippula "Rekko" (Turku, Finland) - See all my reviews

This is Sonata Arctica's second EP and it was released only in Japan because Sonata Arctica is very popular in Japan. Of course they are from Finland I like me. "Black Sheep" is the song released in Silence. "Mary-Lou" was released originally in "UnOpened" cd-single and in "Ecliptica" Japanese version as a bonus track. This version is acoustic and was released in "Last Drop Falls" single, just like the great Iron Maiden cover "Die with Your Boots on". "The Wind Beneath My Wings" is a Better Midler cover. I have heard the original one and it was quite sweet. This CD is full of great Sonata Arctica songs...a must for the true fans.
