I understand that this band sucks at "trying" to be metal, but not nearly as much as the elitest fan base. Bad music is bad music. Period. This shit is cheesier than Yanni. OOOPs!! I take it Nightwish fans are Yanni fans too. Why don't you just say Kenny G is metal if you think this abomination has any metal credibility. And WHAT THE FUCK is up with the stupid fucking indian guy "rocking" the pan-flute? Might as well be a skin flute!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238754689695092950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362584331118859609.post-74611769611261865522012-07-11T14:36:08.970-07:002012-07-11T14:36:08.970-07:00aBBasome comment, Sir.aBBasome comment, Sir.GyZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377347348312331089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362584331118859609.post-77947800304162844702012-07-11T05:52:34.889-07:002012-07-11T05:52:34.889-07:00Nightwish's music is for listeners that are ca...Nightwish's music is for listeners that are capable of understanding poetry. The person who wrote this review, obviously hasn't taken the time to truly feel the album. Everything has a meaning in this album, and instead of different tracks telling different stories, you get an entire album which tells one story.<br /><br />Personally, I love this album. The lyrics are beautiful, the music is epic, and the vocals give me shivers.<br /><br />It seems you actually see this album from a commercial point of view. Obviously, you are not familiar with Nightwish's ways. These songs aren't about selling loads of albums... These songs are merely Tuomas' heart, put into words.<br /><br />Since you have such a boner for ABBA, you should go listen to them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367934948242171652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362584331118859609.post-60955594196262629882011-12-25T17:00:34.164-08:002011-12-25T17:00:34.164-08:00Irish pipes dude, they sound way different from Sc...Irish pipes dude, they sound way different from Scottish highland pipes. And yeah, you may not haven known , this had an accompanying movie, much of this is soundtrack. <br />I'm listening to it rig now, knowing that it's a soundtrack I feeli like it is a journey, it tells a story ....it'll make more sense with the movie.Lady Warwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02826871620071614873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362584331118859609.post-76905443360983240682011-12-05T11:42:04.149-08:002011-12-05T11:42:04.149-08:00Scores are not too important here, because the art...Scores are not too important here, because the art always is superior to the critic, but, in this case I feel that the 6 is a pretty kind score, because this album imo has no capacity to recreate its top form that which is in the song "Storytime". A lower score, I could live with, but higher, no way.<br /><br />It is not "hard" to write Abba metal if one has the feeling for it, - check the latest Royal Hunt LP's "Half Past Loneliness" for another superb Abba metal piece - but this Nightwish record mainly revolves around the fact that it has million cheap clichés to indulge along its goth fairytale atmosphere and satisfies with bombastically presented mediocrity and bantamweight compositions, in my opinion. This is a semi-schizophrenic goth fairy tale album, but it is super-far from the release you and I, too, hoped it would be. Face it, ladies and gents. I surely can imagine that there are fans out there being blown away by this, but I also know that Nightwish is yet to produce their next masterpiece and this ain't that.<br /><br />Is there a stunning moment you want to revisit on this release beside track number 2 and the Sam Brown-like song yet, maybe? None for me I know of, currently. Idiotic pirate song. Bloated-ass opera choir abusing a melody that has zero capacity to accomplish. Irish folk song high fantasy nervous breakdown administration that gives you pointy ears and makes you attractive in the eyes of Gnomes. Caravan movie soundtrack. Wow. OK. Should one give bro-hugs for the producers how superbly they produce cinematic scores?<br /><br />I've read that Nightish will be on a world tour in 2012, and I am frightened to imagine that 60 minutes of a 90 minutes show will be the Storytime song, lol. Sorry, sorry, sorry. The troll has been served a beer.GyZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377347348312331089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362584331118859609.post-88791888822800477462011-12-05T00:18:35.459-08:002011-12-05T00:18:35.459-08:00It's not so much a concept album but rather a ...It's not so much a concept album but rather a film soundtrack. There is a larger focus on orchestra/symphonic melody rather than punching out heavy guitar riffs ( tho they are still there). Nightwish's most professional album so far, and my favorite! Surely it deserves better than a 6!?? Well written review tho, had a good chuckle with the mummy balls comment ^^. I give it 8/10 :)Pulsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781099441364913975noreply@blogger.com
