2 stars This band has nothing to do with progressive music. Plain keyboard oriented melodic metal, something quite usual. Nothing special here, although this album would convince even those who disliked the band. An attempt to sound heavier, to appeal to fans of "harder" metal music, the riffs are more muted, the production is heavier, but that classic boring structure of the songs hasn't changed. Tarja's voice is less and less operating and does not even stand a combination to other female metal singers, still she remains a major reason for the popularity of the band. I believe that Nightwish are so well accepted by fans due to the fact that they are not really aware of the existence of other bands of a similar style and a greater quality. As well as most of the band's albums(all except The Wishmaster I might say) this one is a waste of money and time.
