I agree more or less, although Nightwish were not the first to create that symphonic metal sound. Therion were definitely an influence when Nightwish started and even the gothic metal scene of the time.

Nightwish ... never could develop a taste for them. Totally boring and uninventive. They're at least bearable with Floor on vocals.

I think Floor is the more competent, better range, but her abilities are somehow misused (for lack of a better word). I thought the last album they did was rather poor. 

They will release a new album in a month or so. First single has already been released, quite underwhelming, again, Floor's talents are not properly used (IMO obviously).

^ Doug loves it, but even he pointed out that the vocals are buried in the mix. In general, Nightwish is too "uneventful" for me. Last time I got interested was when they made this evolution themed album endorsed by Richard Dawkins. Big letdown musically.

Nightwish really isn't the kind of the music I'm into right now, but having said that, I always like Tarja's vocals better than the other two. I think it would be cool if Tarja could do a collaboration with Fred Frith and Ikue Mori. That would be awesome.

Tarja, Anette or Floor? Obviously:

It's not about the singers but the quality of albums and compositions. The two albums with Anette was excellent, the same with Tarja. The album with Floor are not so good...

Strangely, Dark Passion Play (with Anette) is my favourite Nightwish album, but Tarja has always been my favourite Nightwish singer. Geek

Based on the OP, I understand  the thread is about the singers.
This should have been a poll. Smile
