 "This Dance will Hurt like Hell." April 20, 2005
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the third full length album by Finnish opera metal masters; Nightwish. They perfect their profuction even more and solidify all their music as much as they can, making ever song as catchy as it can. With the exception of FantasMic, every song on this album is below the five minute mark. One notable song is "The Kinslayer" a concept piece about the infamous Colombine school shooting in Colorado, Usa. It is astonishing how tragedies traverse so far accross the world. and it is chilling how they use quotes from the two kids who committed those crimes.
I personally love every song with the exception of Dead Boy's Poem. That is not a bad Nightwish song in comparsion to all of their songs. It is a track that I have never really been able to get into very much. Other notably tracks are the extremely catch She is my Sin, Wanderlust, Wishmaster, the balad Come Cover Me, Bare Grace Misery, and the ten minute FantasMic. This is one of the best Nightwish album and most solid to be released.
One of the best cd's I've heard in a while May 5, 2001

Nightwish is one of the most talented bands I've ever listened to. They're definitely doing something different, but the result is fantastic. Tarja's vocals are unbelievable. I was a bit skeptical about the ideal of an operatic, female singer, but she has a beautiful voice, and I can't imagine Nightwish without her. "Wishmaster" is one of the best albums I've heard in a while. My favorite tracks are Come Cover Me (love the way it kicks in), Wanderlust, Wishmaster, and She Is My Sin. The whole album is great though, and it provides a nice change of pace, from the kicking guitar riffs of Come Cover Me, to the more melodic Dead Boy's Poem, and Tuomas's great keyboard work in The Kinslayer. An excellent buy for any metal lover.
 Predictable,Boring, Stratovarius clown July 30, 2001

Well...I heard so much about this CD, and i decided to give it a listen. As a power-metal guitarist, i can tell you that the only thing that stands out about this band, is Tarja's vocals. Music sounds like a predictable Yngwie or/and Stratovarius tune. After all, it's not a bad album, even though it'll become a shelf-material after a few spins. But if you are really looking for some good power metal, listen to Sinergy,Stratovarius,Rhapsody or even Armaggedon.
Most Underrated Band today January 11, 2002

When i listened to this CD i was so amazed that I had never heard music this good. Tarja'a vocals reach out and grab you and don't let go. She has to be the best female vocalist in the rock world today WOW!!!! Then there is the guitar mastery of Emppu here again an underrated talent. The rest of the members fit in perfectly and again WOW!!! I would recommend this cd to anyone one and i have been and people are ordering it. When i play it for my friends they too are amazed at the strength and power and melodic sound of Nightwish. They can go from heavy heavy metal to a perfect melodic ballad so quick and it all fits so perfectly. I just wish they would find their way into mainstream US music culture, what a shock it would be for them. This has to be the best CD in my collection. There is not a bad track on this CD they are all equal in strength and power and in holding your attention, my recommendation to all listeners of this type metal, BUY IT NOW AND BUY ALL NIGHTWISH YOU CAN FIND!!!!!

I've never heard such amazing vocals in all my life! Yes i've heard opera before but opera's nothing compared with Tarja. If you think you're cool and 'hard' don't get this album though. There have been a few people reviewing who don't like this album, that's because they probably don't enjoy this genre. You really need to appreciate classic female vocals, not that crap Avril Lavigne stuff where the girls all strive to sound like guys.
