727. Sonata Arctica / Last Drop Falls [Single]. 2001. 3/5

I can't (but can) understand why this was released as a single. I mean, it's a slow, mourning ballad. The kind of song Sonata Arctica do so well, and the kind of song I really don't enjoy. So from a personal point of view, I wish they had released another song from the album as a single. However, when you are looking for single sales and hopeful radio play, then this is the kind of song that may attract that kind of attention. For a start, the lyrical content may not be a persuasive argument to a radio executive that it should be played!

In buying singles, you generally buy them for the other songs attached to them. This is the case here, with an excellent cover version of Iron Maiden's "Die With Your Boots On". This again showcases the amazing talent in this band. Following this is an acoustic version of "Mary-Lou" to round it off.
Worth getting your hands on for the maiden cover alone.

Rating: I have found the whore in you. 3/5
