A track-by-track review/description of "The Days Of Grays" can be found on Terrorizer.com.

SONATA ARCTICA keyboardist Henrik "Lance" Klingenberg previously described the band's new material as "a bit darker and maybe not so complex as 'Unia'. Nevertheless, it's definitely not a back-to-the-roots album with fast power metal. All the trademark SONATA stuff is on there, solos, lots of singing some slower songs."

Congrats to SA! I think that people who have stayed patience through this band's change in sound will be rewarded with this great album. I really think the guys have perfected their prog sound this time!

The album is just amazing, the best they have done since... Ever.

It is calm symphonic bombastic at times very vocal driven and emotional.
This one was for Tony himself.

This album sounds awful, just like Unia.
I miss the old Sonata :(

Album had only 2 good songs. rest were mellow, drawn out and boring i must say. I want old SA back where you actually felt like listening to the songs and when they put energy into it.
