![]() ![]() Tony Kakko can portray a story exceedingly well and Victoria's Secret showcases this talent very well. Despite being almost nearly 100% cheese, I can still enjoy many of Tony's lyrics, as they are for the most part well written. Of the four members that made up Sonata Arctica at this point in time, one of them stands above the other three. For one, Tony Kakko is quite the talented singer. His melodic vocal lines help set the tone and mood of the music, whether it be though a sullen mood, or a happier one. Kakko can hit the high notes extremely well, as he shows in the opening track, Abandoned, Pleased, Brainwashed, Exploited. To-be listeners should also note his lower range, shout-like vocals in the likes of Champagne Bath. Tony fails to disappoint throughout the entire run time. His singing also contains a thick accent which sounds pretty funny to be honest. However, his accent is not quite as obvious as it was on older songs like 8th Commandment or Peacemaker. The other area where he shows considerable talent is on the keyboards. And boy, Tony is quite the accomplished keyboardist. Arguably the most impressive musician in the band, his keyboard solos are nothing short of amazing. ![]() Kakko's playing is extremely memorable, and extremely consistent. ![]() A very large part of Sonata Arctica's music (to an extent where it's a fault, according to some), Tony maintains a constant presence in the music and never fails to impress. To some, Sonata Arctica's Winterheart's Guild may be everything that's wrong with power metal. ![]()
