Nightwish new Album

[lollipop]

Just FYI, who is not aware yet:
After 3 years new Album from Nightwish was released few days back. It's called Dark Passion Play.
That new singer Anette Olzon is good choice IMO. Ok, so i got to say, she has not so powerful voice, but she sounds nice enough for me

I think, it is a good album. The album is, i don't know the english word, it is "flowing" very good , my ears rested on these metallic melodies...

Also, Special Edition is with 2 cd, and second cd contains only instrumentals of those songs. Loved it.

Please, remember, I don't know much about this style, so, I only say in simple words, what i felt, when I heard this

So...
Discuss. And if you have not heard album yet, then: what you think of Nightwish in general?

Their allright. I've heard them before. Got some talent but not my choice of music.

[Pedro the Great]

Nightwish is alright, I'd have to agree with xshat. I preffer their older music to this new album (I'm listening to it right now, I'd never heard it...) but it's not bad. If you're looking for good music that falls in this genre, then you should check out Lacuna Coil. if you like Nightwish you'd probably like these guys (and girl) as well .

This new album without TARJA, means that Nightwish is dead.
Tarja's voice is great. I heard all other albums. All of 'em are great.
Very technical vocalist make their albums wealthy.
I don't know what happened with the band but I only know that Tarja must come back to the band otherwise the Nightwish is not NIGHTWISH anymore.

Tarja will never return...

Here is the open letter to Tarja few years back, this will shed some light to events, what happened between Nightwish and Tarja: Nightwish - The Official Website

hii all.... before i didnt know who are nightwish and so... but a friend of mine sent to me one song... i really like it ... then started to search for more songs by them... and i have to say that i really like many of them ( not all but many :P ) .... as i noticed before that band was with other main vocal (Tarja) ... and about that i have to say that the songs that i have with her are a way better than with the new one (Annete if i am not wrong ) ... with the new singer i have only one song (amaranth - Which i like ) ..... so i thik (of course its my own opinion) nightwish were better before with Tarja.
two song are my fave by them : love ghost score and dark chest of wonders

[Luke of Metal]

Nightwish are ok, Tarja was too operatic for the band in my opinion but the band are more metal now and that to me is a very good prospect... Download an old song called 'Over The Hills And Far Away' (originally by Gary Moore) the YouTube is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_REuHDTx50.

also check out WITHIN TEMPTATION, these guys are amazing.



Also, check out a band from my home town of Manchester in the same style called LIQUID SKY
