OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Because if for me (and from other friends of me) the rest of the band is not particular attractive!

Now I speak about the music of this album. And I speak about a great cover of Gary Moore penned song 'Over The Hills And Far Away', 'Away' and 'Astral Romance (2001 remake)' That for me are songs for any musical lover. The live songs? well? No? I have not words. Is another band that plays these songs. Tarja is perfect but these versions are pompous and redundant, heavy and Classic Metal Revival. But hell, I can not believe that many have idolized Nighwish as good musicians. Hmmm? This fact is typical of Classic Metallers? Sic.

One moment? Ah, yes? Nightwish= Tarja Turunen!

In my opinion tarja have too importance in the economy of Nightwish Mega success and for this fact Nighwish was famous also out of Classic Metal world. I've heard better things, however. Heavy guitars and bombast out of the ordinary... But I do not see even one gram of Prog in Nightwish. That if there has been eaten by the big bad wolf. Tarja is no longer in Nightwish... Because he has argued as Little Red Riding Hood.

So, five stars for studio songs and zero stars for live songs. But I'm sincere two stars is the correct rating with PA scale.
