 My First and Favorite Nightwish April 17, 2008
Not long ago I had just discovered a band called Lacuna Coil. This was really new music for me and I saw that Nightwish was listed as another artist I might like. I was able to sample some songs from this album and they happened to be NEMO and SIREN. When I heard SIREN I knew I had to have this album. The album is quite good though I am not as into the over the top symphonic part of this music but that is part of what Nightwish is about. Since discovering this album I have also found some other artists who have a similar mix of metal and amazing female vocals. The Gathering has an amazing mix of metal / electronic and sometimes ambient music. The vocals are amazing and albums like Mandylion and Nighttime Birds are really amazing. More recently their album Home is more like Depeche Mode. Within Temption is a little more like Nightwish but perhaps a little more commercial (not that they are at all commercial really) and have that mix of metal and symphony but it is a bit more melodic. Mother Earth and The Heart of Everything really stand out as great albums. Two lesser known bands from the USA are worth a mention. Anti-M has released and album titled Damage. The song RAGE has an eastern feel kind of like SIREN and a great mix of vocal melodies, hard rock and electronic rock. A bit of it even sounds like Rush. Collide's album Chasing the Ghost is more electronic like HOME but is so melodic and mysterious. I think if you like this symphonic / Electronic / Metal Genre you can't go wrong with any of these bands. ONCE is definately my favorite Nightwish, I have not yet heard the new album with the new vocalist.
 Great skill in every note... May 8, 2008
It is really hard for any review to do this band justice. Every song in this CD, from Dark Chest of Wonders to Live to Tell the Tale, is the result of many years of work and skill. Each member, all famous artists in their own right, worked together to create a wonderful, heart beating opera for the dark, cold, side of the human soul. Yet while it has great depth it also seems to have an uplifting effect on my mind and body. The amount of energy, time, and experience that has been poured into this CD shows with every word, every sound, every emotion. I am amazed that it took me this long to find out about this band!
My Favorite Nightwish June 4, 2008
This is my favorite CD by Nightwish. Extremely talented and a beautiful blend of Metal, Operatic Vocals and a full Symphonic sound. Ghost Love Score is their best track. Awesome vocals! Beautifully done!
My introuction to Nightwish! June 21, 2008
"Nemo" was the first song I heard from Nighwish back in '04. My friend was e-mailing me, and sent me the song. Since then, I bought the album two years later, and still treaure it today. I really don't have favorites, but I agree that this was their breakthrough to American soil. Here are some immortal songs:
Dark Chest of Wonders (Anette's version is amazing!)
Nemo (my conversion song...)
Planet Hell (epic and soundtrack worthy!)
Creek Mary's Blood (very diverse, but touching and stunning!)
The Siren (loved this in Vegas!)
Ghost Love Score (Toumas should compose with a song like this!)
This is the album to convert your friends with, since its more soundtrack like and gripping. I'm glad their touring America a lot more, we need a break from the disasters like Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. This one needs to be checked out, and one you won't forget! NW forever!
New to NIGHTWISH October 18, 2008
I first heard the song "Wish I had an Angel" in the movie "Alone in the Dark" with Christian Slater, and I bought this CD, this was my first cd of their's, and I fell in love with it, their sound is extremely remarkable. I was kind of shocked when I heard thru the grapevine that Tarja was fired, because she has a different, and unique sound all her own, and the music just worked with her voice. Annette is awesome, but Tarja is her own, and she own's it. In this cd "Ghost Love Score", and the rest of the music on this cd has a unique Native American sound to it, and you can really appreciate it. This is one of their greatest accomplishments. Next to "Century Child" in which Tarja put's her own gothic spin to "Phantom of the Opera", well done...
