2* BrokenBase: Fans are divided on whether or not ''Stones Grow Her Name'' was worth the time.
3* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: At least compared to elsewhere, the band is incredibly popular in Chile - in fact, their fourth live album was recorded there, and tickets to that show were sold exclusively through their Chilean fanclub.
4* GrowingTheBeard[=/=]TheyChangedItNowItSucks: ''Unia'' has [[BrokenBase divided fans]] about whenever the band is doing one or the other. Some remakes of old songs are particular subject of this topic.
5* ToughActToFollow: Everything after ''Reckoning Night'' is rather divisive among the fanbase.

9* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
10** Would fall to one of their long, epic songs, such as "The Power of One", "Deathaura", or "Destruction Preventer."
11** Fan-favorite "White Pearl, Black Oceans" is also a major contender.
12* EpilepticTrees: Some fans go to bizarre lengths to explain the ambiguities in the "Caleb" story.
13** Prominent theories include: The stories of ''Letter to Dana'', ''Shy'', and other ballad-esque love songs being related to the "Caleb" story, the arsonist in ''Wildfire'' being Caleb, the man in ''The Power of One'' being Caleb, ''San Sebastian'' being a metaphor for the story prior to ''Juliet'', and the theory of Caleb being multiple people.
14** The reasons for these theories can range from plausible to outright stupid.
15* {{Narm}}: "Don't Be Mean." Hearing a grown man use a phrase like "don't be mean to me" with such sincerity is a little cringe-inducing. It shows that English is not Tony Kakko's first language.
16** "Shitload of Money". Look at the other song names on this page and then look at that one again. Why it constitutes narm should be obvious.
17* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: "8th Commandment" sounds strikingly similar to "Forever is a Long Time" by Music/YngwieMalmsteen, and "Destruction Preventer"'s verse melody is sounds reminiscent of "Black Diamond" by Music/{{Stratovarius}}.
