"Acoustic Adventures" Volume One by Sonata Arctica is a sprawling and beautiful compilation of tunes from throughout the bands' career performed in a series of stripped-back renditions. It takes the bands' signature sound and extracts the heaviness to render the songs in a breathtaking new light. That's not to say that the songs have completely lost their heaviness but are heavy in an alternative and unique way.

The album has a timeless quality about it that conjures the spirit of the late '70s or '80s and brings with it an unexpected meditative quality.

Despite the name "Acoustic Adventures", it's not entirely an acoustic album. It's more akin to a re-imagining of the songs performed live in the studio together. Substituting the tried and true formula of distorted guitars and massive drums for something more intimate. Taking the bones of original songs from across the band's career, the performances present a fresh perspective that adds a compelling and frankly gorgeous spin absent from the original recordings.
