 Ida^^ Nightwish on the best July 2, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This cd is one of the best Nightwish has ever maid. And I know that because I have them all. The first time I heard this band was a time at my firnds house and she playd "Over the Hills and Far Away" on her stero and I think I fell in some kind of trance I just heard the music comming from the streo and nothing more. The only thing I could say was "What's that?". And after that I have bought cd's and dvd's. But back to the album. The cd like I sad before is the best of Nightwish beacuse it has all and then I meen ALL the best songs from the other albums all my favorites. And sinse it's a live album it's not to dificullt to sing along with Tarja on songs like "Sleeping Sun and " Over The Hills and far Away". So this is defenattly a must have for all Nightwish fans around the world. But If you've never heard songs drom Nightwish I would start with "High Hopes: The Best Of Nightwish". But like I sad this is the best album out there from this fantastic band! ^^
:D

The performance, production, and overall quality of this disc makes it one of the best live albums I've heard/bought in many years. I'd be extremely proud to leave Nightwish on this release if I were Tarja. It's a great release, and highly recommended!

I don't think it's possible to listen to this album and not have goose bumps crawling all over the flesh. Lately Nightwish has been my music of choice and I can't seem to get enough, the louder the better! Often I find myself craving their melange of rock, symphonic power metal and opera like vocals - even at work, with headphones on of course, don't want to scare the socks off my coworkers, and I am constantly lost and mesmerized by the harmony of vocals and power that sound like a rock concert in tall halls of Valhalla.
The guitars on this album shred the air like hungry sharks and the vocals are haunting. Much to my delight I can certainly see that Tuomas is greatly influenced by movie scores. I adore them too so to me music doesn't get any better than this, and for a kid who grew up watching Conan movies and war epics this music pumps my blood in all the right places.
This album is very operatic, but also grandiose and full of metal - and even better, it's from a live concert, so it really sounds real. With the fans clapping and people screaming I feel connected, almost as if I was there myself. The lead singer - Tarja is a brilliant artist, even thought she is no longer with this band - I recommend her solo album "My Winter Storm" for the fans of this genre. Her first single off that CD is coincidentally called "I walk Alone" maybe she misses this kick a@@ band...

 Review for this listing only - this is Brazillian knockoff March 2, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have only recently begun to collect Nightwish. I started with the American Nuclear Blast 2CD+DVD issue of End of an Era but for the most part have been collecting European Spinefarm issues - I have the Spinefarm 1997-2001 collection which I purchased from Amazon, I have the 8 track Spinefarm issue of Bless the Child and I have the Spinefarm 2CD+DVD of Highest Hopes. What I received from Amazon for this listing was not the Spinefarm issue but a Brazillian knockoff from NEMS Enterprises. It may be legitimate or it may not, but it isn't what is listed here and it makes me angry.

The product is good. However, Amazon's service was terrible. After three weeks had gone by, I decided to find out where the item was. After finding no useable information at the site, other than the "in process" message from the last three weeks, I called and got a real live person, who continuously counseled me to be patient and when I requested that the order be cancelled, continued to counsel me to be patient. I called the shipper, USPS and gave them the information but they told me that the information was incorrect and they did not use tracking numbers of the type I had been given by Amazon.
Advice if you want the item soon, pay extra and buy it at a local store if you can. Otherwise order well in advance and expect it to take however long it takes.....in this case almost four weeks. Christmas presents should be ordered before Thanksgiving, preferably no later than October 31.
