The new Nightwish album, Imaginaerum, is so good! Here is one of the songs, Storytime. For me Nightwish is Tuomas Holopainen's music and I'm already starting to like the "new" singer. LOL
The album is perhaps my favorite album ever... The more I listen the more I love it! It's like a good fantasy book, you feel like you are in the different world :D Storytime is a good song but not my favorite from this album, if I had to name my favorites, they would be Taikatalvi (magical winter) and Turn Loose the Mermaids. But I still think this album is like a fantasy story: it's better to listen them all at once!

ReplyDeleteFor me, Nightwish is also Holopainen's music - no matter if the singer was Tarja or Anette.
ReplyDeleteFirst I thought that I would buy Imaginaerum today, but I will get it as a gift for Christmas and I am so so so so.....looking forward to it.
Nice to hear that it's so good!
XOXO Britta
Thanks for posting this! I didn't know they're still doing music. I used to be a Nightwish fan... before album Once and before all that s*it happened. Seeing the new video, I can still recognize their music, but it doesn't touch me anymore. It's empty for me. The singer doesn't have the personality and it's all just blah to me. But that's just my opinion. I'm glad you still like them. I guess you're a true NW fan. =)
ReplyDeleteP.S: Yes, Nightwish is Tuomas. But Tarja was a huge part of it and it all got bad with the last album they did together, IMO. T-writes beautiful lyrics and music, but I somehow don't 'believe' it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my hands on Imaginaerium! I'm also planning on seeing them when they're back in the UK (depends on dates though!).
ReplyDeleteOh, AnzeriA is very nice!
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Storytime much at first but now I have the album and the album REALLY is good! I think I could spend the rest of the winter with this album, green tea & snuggie :D
I need to buy this! Can't wait for the movie to come out!
ReplyDeleteI respect Nightwish, not my fave but ok. That singer is too 'pop' and lacks charisma on big stage.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite singer is in fact Marco Hietala, maybe that is why I love the fist song so much! I'd love to hear what do you think about "Taikatalvi", it's in finnish :) The album is like a story, I love to listen the whole album at once. If I had to choose a favorite song it would be "Turn loose the mermaids". And Taikatalvi, of course ;D
ReplyDeleteHi Nea! , i used to enjoy more nightwish with Tarja but i'm enjoying a lot Annete she is such adorable >.<, and oh please she is the most charismatic artist that i ever see on a stage and in her style of music she it is one of the best , people love to say that Tarja is the heart of the band, c'mon!! out there exist erudite singers that are thousand times better than her ¬¬ if Tuomas had replace Tarja for another opera singer then people would not make so mush noise.
ReplyDeleteImperia is so much low rated, the singer is amaaaazing Helena Iren Michaelsen *_* pleeease Nea take a look =D ,looove your blog >.< bye bye!

I think Tuomas is genius: he has made a whole album without actually making anything new. It has some really amazing moments, but all in all it unfortunately sounds too much like "movie music cliché handbook". Another thing I didn't like at first was that style-wise the record is all over the place, but on the other hand it makes it really interesting. I'm afraid, though, that Imaginaerum isn't really whole without the movie and the last song is a hint to that direction since it isn't really a song but just a compilation of other songs which can be played with end credits. All in all, my reaction towards new NW is both enthusiastic and blah. Really enthusiastic blah. :D
ReplyDeleteOh man, I had *such* a raging crush on Tuomas back when I was a teenager XD I really liked that song, though I don't like the singer as much as Tarja. Tarja just had suuuch an awesome voice <3
ReplyDeleteThe last song is really not made by Tuomas, it's a "Imaginaerum-medley" and it was created by Pip Williams (adapted from the music of Tuomas Holopainen).
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Tarja much either, she was too "opera" for my taste ;) And now Anette is too "pop". LOL. Of course Tarja was better.
