Either way, Anette sounds good!

Sounds pretty awesome to me, standard Nightwish.

DO! WANT! NOW!

I don't know if anyone knows, but the Imaginaerum film soundtrack will be done by Petri Alanko, taking the Nightwish material and adding his own stuff.

And Petri Alanko is the most underrated soundtrack artist of all time. You can here his Alan Wake stuff here:

Great link. Now I have to pick up Alan Wake for 360.

I know this gets talked about on every page, but I'm currently giving Once another chance, and I can't help but think this boring, annoying, grating, and a shitty attempt at mixing opera and symphonic metal. Dark Passion Play is literally at least 10x as awesome.

I'm not even that big of a fan of Nightwish and this post offended me. Go back to your Lou Reed and your coffee shops and your rock and roll music.

I *am* a Nightwish fan, so I'm doubly offended.

DPP is good, but Once and Oceanborn are in a different class. For Symphonic Metal, DPP was a step down (IMO).

73109 · « **Reply #253 on:** November 06, 2011, 11:39:02 AM »

And a step up in general awesomness? Agreed!

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #254 on:** November 06, 2011, 11:56:17 AM »

Didn't Nightwish pretty much start the whole Symphonic Metal with Female Operatic Vocals that's so in vogue nowadays? I find most other bands that do the same thing to be cheap ass knockoffs of Nightwish... and I'm not even much of a fan.

Once is the best album, color me offended.

Is fucking a verb or an adjective in this case?

Either results in a weird mental image...

Teaser for "Storytime" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6YhaJK8TC4 courtesy of the official nightwish website.

Sounds different, and that melody is extremely catchy!!

How did Orcus get his opinion used in this?

Also, I hope everyone who decided to make North America wait 6 weeks gets impassible jagged kidney stones.

Honestly I loved Tarja's solo album from last year. Apparently I was the only one to actually listen to it, though.

adace · « **Reply #261 on:** November 07, 2011, 01:16:48 AM »

Storytime aired about an hour ago. Either youtube it or google it. It's a phenomenal song.

I listened to a few songs from it. It was ok. I'm of the opinion that both Nightwish and Tarja are better together than they are on their own. Storytime re-affirms my position

I have it. Didn't care for it. Jingle pretty much nailed how I feel:

yorost · « **Reply #265 on:** November 07, 2011, 07:25:27 AM »

Tarja's solo albums have great songs on them, but they aren't much to talk about as whole albums.

I'm with bosk1 and jingle.boy. As much as I like Annette, Tarja gave Nightwish that extra notch above so many other bands, and Tarja just lacks something going solo. Her singing is fine, her songs are all over the place. I still think Nightwish is really good, but... oh well.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #266 on:** November 07, 2011, 07:27:48 AM »

Man. Tarja was definitely a top 10 album for me last year. I mean, I can't imagine her having done anything remotely like "Rivers of Lust" with Nightwish.

My dear lord, Storytime is AMAZING!! That chorus is soooooo catchy, it sticks in your brain!

I just youtube'd it, it's the one that's 5 1/2 minutes long

Gadough · « **Reply #271 on:** November 07, 2011, 06:00:38 PM »

New song is really, really good.

bosk1 · « **Reply #272 on:** November 07, 2011, 06:42:19 PM »

Pretty good song. Sounds a lot like something that could easily have been on DPP, but written with Anette's voice in mind (which is about what I expected). I like it. But it isn't nearly special enough to justify how long they've made us wait.

You're going to bitch about Nightwish too?!

Oh wait, nevermind. Wrong person.

Storytime isn't bad, but it REALLY sounds like Nightwish (not in a good way). Tell me I'm not the only one that hears Master Passion Greed throughout the verses.

Gadough · « **Reply #275 on:** November 10, 2011, 03:20:53 AM »

Dude, I saw several Youtube comments that said the same thing, and I'm not hearing it at all.

There's the video. Not really digging it myself. The main riff reminds me too much of Wish I Had An Angel.

Don't know what exactly I hear, but it does sound recycled to some extent. And to me, Annette sounds hollow/airy. I'm not hearing any power in her voice on this track.
