 Nokia rock? January 7, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Great lyrics! However, I don't find the "Finnish Evanescence" nearly as compelling as its Italian cousin, Lacuna Coil. Here, I can't stand the female vocalist - she sounds very opera-like. And while the band can certainly play, the score doesn't work for me, either - too many songs sound too much alike, very generic rock, and the pace is a little too fast. It's fine that Europe, especially Scandinavia, loves them so much, but it's not like XM, which gives them no airplay, is short-changing American audiophiles. Despite substantial competence, I found no keepers here.
 Best Nightwish CD out there! February 20, 2008

I have been listening to Nightwish since the band formed long long time ago. They have many great albums, but this one is definitely their best CD! (Because it is an accumulation of all their best songs : ))
I would rate each song separately, but since I have a midterm tomorrow, I am going to keep this short. All the songs are great : ) Some take a while to grow on you, while others are an instantaneous hit. I would say which songs I think are the best, but that is something best discovered by oneself alone.
In summary, if you like orchestral metal/goth metal, this is the CD for you. Nightwish doesn't get better than this! I highly recommend this CD.

This album is by far one of the best albums ive bought. Being latin i have one of the widest range of tastes in music, rock being #1. Still this is one of the best albums. If u dont know Nightwish, its Opera-metal, poetry expressed in raw talent. Even with the crazy drums/bass/guitar, the voice sooths your very soul . . trust me,when you buy this album you will want more.

The CD is enjoyable, not great as a "Best Of" should be. I will have to be honest in saying that this is my first CD from Nightwish and based on what other people have said (best of their songs, etc), it may be the last. Don't get me wrong, I can play this over and over, but if these are the best, they do not bode well for me buying more.
nice work! June 9, 2007
This has not really been my listening genre - but I gave it a try and was hugely impressed! Really enjoyed the album, and will no doubt be getting more... Awesome vocal with great beats behind it!
