Welcome to the Sonata Arctica Song Ranker
Go get a drink. This might take a while.
Before we begin, I invite you to rank the albums in the order you think they should be in. We'll compare your prediction to the actual ranking that emerges from your song-by-song votes.
Do not @ me about why I included Takatalvi. You're going to skip ranking Shy?!

Tournament Sort
Full comparison tournament that guarantees a precise ranking order...but it takes ages. Die hards only.
ELO Rating
Faster ELO-based ranking with minimum 5 battles per song. Is much quicker but slightly less accurate.
