With the release of Human :II: Nature, I decided that Nightwish would be the next band that I run through the league format. I'm looking to start this sometime in May, most likely when the Haken season has concluded.
There will be 112 Nightwish songs. Every song from the studio albums as well as most of the unreleased songs. We will have a 25 Week regular season followed by a 64 song Championship Tournament.
So feel free to spend the next few weeks digesting the new album, as well as brushing up on the classics, and exploring the unreleased songs.
-
Best thing to happen in Nightwish world since the release of the new album!!! :metal
-
I'm in! I need to spin the first three albums a few more times since it's been a while but otherwise I pretty much know everything in their discography so I'm ready, can't wait for this!
-
Totally in. I love Nightwish and, unlike some of the other bands here, I know their whole discography inside and out. Excited to play!
-
Looking to start this up Monday, 5/18.

Excellent news! :metal

We could have a Six Degrees kind of debate about All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World, and wether it's a single suite or it's made up of separate songs, but I won't hold it against you to have been able to reach a perfect number of partecipating songs that suits better the League format ;D
Ready to start! :metal

I wonder which songs will be the "black shirts" here, the ones with 0 victories. Off the top of my head there's no Nightwish song so badly atrocious that we can be sure nobody's gonna vote for it. Probably the lesser known non-album tracks will have a hard time.
-
DoC, you've got to fix the Alpenglow thing before it drives me nuts :)
Otherwise, looks good!
-
Apenglow :D
Also, might I add that, while it's just barely a combination of the alphabetical order and there being so far only a single match which any song can potentially lose, it's a weird effect to see two landmark songs such as Wish I Had an Angel and Wishmaster at the very bottom of the list :D
-
Wow! Sorry about that. Had it misspelled everywhere. Should be good now.

Nothing much to discuss yet. The bigass epics (Beast, Ghost, Show, Poet, even Endlessness which is the longest song on the first disc of Human Nature) are already at the top.
And while two defeats in a row can happen to everyone, with the complicity of the alphabet it's weird to see Wish I Had an Angel as the "very last" song!

From 36 to 25, the leadership group thins down, as it was obviously to be expected.
New album songs that manage to stay in that group are Endlessness and Procession.
Very happy to see also two songs from Wishmaster up there: a personal favorite, She is My Sin, and a song nobody appears to remember about, Crownless, but that I find so catchy.
At the bottom, Wish I had An Angel, condamned by the alphabet, continues to be the "very last" song, who would have thought!

Little to no pruning at the top; from 25 to 22 leading. At the bottom 6 songs instead left the black shirt slot.
I know it's too early to draw judgements, but I expect at least The Crow, the Owl, and the Dove, My Walden and Our Decades in the Sun to catch a break. And also Over the Hills and Far Away which is just great, but I guess it suffers from being a cover. When in doubt, people will go for an original Nightwish song.

Not that we couldn't see it coming, but the leadership group took a huge hit! 15 songs remaining at the top, with the new album songs losing contact with the top.
Of course this means relatively little so early into the tournament, at the top I'd say Turn Loose the Mermaids is the most surprising one.

Not much changed, the leading group only lost one song.
New album moment: Procession and Endlessness started at the top, but now they've fallen behind the trio of Pan, How's the Heart? and Shoemaker which are, at 5-1, the best performers from the latest album.
The bottom has Tribal, only song off the new album to never catch a break so far, and a bunch of B-sides, a cover, instrumentals (ironically considering how strong DT and Metallica instrumentals do) and other random album tracks that evidently aren't exactly fan favorites.
Each Nightwish singer has at least a song at the bottom, and at least a song at the top.
-
I've voted for The Eyes of Sharbat Gula at least once or twice, it's a very good instrumental I think.

The top group continues to thin down, this time two song lost the grip with the top! this does not change Annette's and Floor's presence in the lead, they still have two songs each at the top.
On the new album camp, Tribal finally gets a win, now no song from Human || Nature is with 0 victories, but no song is leading either! best performers are the trio of How's the Heart, Pan and Shoemaker.
-
I guess every vote I ever cast for Over The Hills was for nothing :lol I know it's just a cover but I like it. I know I voted for Master Passion Greed and Know Why The Nightingale Sings at least two or three times, Astral Romance a few times over that at least :sad: AND WHAT DID ROMANTICIDE DO TO YOU ALL :|
-
I like Over the Hills quite a lot, but I assume that being a cover, it gets penalized. I would assume people think, when in doubt, "eh, it's a cover, at least the other one is an original song".

Damn, first loss for Turn Loose the Mermaids. :-\
I'm astonished Shudder is still 9-0 at this point, must've been some easy matchups I guess.

Shudder has a 9-0 song to face this week, so we'll see what it's made of.

I'm actually surprised a ballad lasted this long at the top. Glad to see any kind of love for any song of my favorite NW album!

Wow! while the black shirts remain the same songs, from 101 to 112 at the bottom, the leadership group takes a huge hit and now from the top 10 we go from the magnificent seven!
Floor Jansen is the one suffering the most from this, since her songs are kicked out of of the leading group and now only Tarja's songs remain - with the exception of The Islander, only post-Tarja song still firing on all cylinders.
Floor consoles herself populating the slots immediately after; a bit surprisingly Pan is now the best performing song off the new album!
Speaking of the new album, so far only Harvest, the giant instrumental and Tribal would be eliminated (and Harvest looks like the only song out of these three that might have a fighting chance).
-
It's a shame about Harvest honestly, I think it's one of the best songs from the new record.
Really glad The Islander is doing that great, it's one of my favourite Nightwish songs (might even be my #1, I don't know). All the remaining songs in the lead are fantastic, I'm a bit surprised at Stargazers being up there but I can't complain, it's a great song.
Our Decades in the Sun deserves better though.
-
I vote for Harvest sometimes. Overall, with the reception of the Floor albums, I'm surprised some EFMB songs are as high as they are, and recency bias is deffo helping some Human Nature songs, and I say that as someone who likes both albums better than most people on the internet.
-
I really like Sagan but it's always just matched against a better song and I can't vote for it. I definitely don't think it belongs in the zero group like the others.
-
The love for Storytime surprises me. It tied The Greatest Show on Earth and may now beat Wishmaster.
It's only loss has been to Rest Calm.
-

I thought that last battle against Wishmaster was a tough one but I went with Storytime. Some of these are just barn burners in my mind and I know I've said before that if you ask me these one day I may have a different answer the next.
-
The love for Storytime surprises me. It tied The Greatest Show on Earth and may now beat Wishmaster.
It's only loss has been to Rest Calm.
It's catchy, uplifting, and manages to get past the "Dark Chest of Wonders riff" syndrome. And I prefer it to Rest Calm. It's simply a very nice catchy song with just the right amount of cheese.
-
It manages to get past the "Dark Chest of Wonders riff" syndrome
Mmmmm... debatable :lol
-
I'm not knocking Storytime. It's... fine. A solid song, though one of the weakest recent NW singles.
I just don't see it as good enough to tie a couple of NW classics*.
*I'm including The Greatest Show on Earth here, at least as a future classic. As an epic it's - to me - an impressive achievement.

It takes just a draw to lose the top spot, and that's what happened to Ever Dream and Stargazer! we went from a top 10 to the magnficent seven and now here they are, counted on the fingers of a hand, the top 5, which still has an Annette song!
In new album territory, Pan gives way to How's the Heart and Procession, which are now the best performing songs.
Stuff moved also at the bottom, 4 songs finally managed to get a win or at least a draw, leaving with a black shirt two instrumentals and almost all B-sides, leftovers, and non album tracks. Which means that Nymphomaniac Fantasia is the only song with vocals that appears on an official tracklist of all version of an album which has 0 wins.

And now it's down to four at the top! The Islander faces its first defeat, and when you're up against songs with 100% score (ghost love in case of one of those :D), it's enough to lose the leadership.
Now three giant songs and a very atmospheric and fan-favorite ballad remain at the top.
Last time I said that at the bottom Nymphomaniac Fantasia was the only song with vocals from an official album tracklist that still had 0 victories and 0 draws - this changed and now we can say that the bottom songs are all made up of instrumentals and non-album tracks.
I believe that the overall quality of Nightwish albums, with not immense gaps between the best ones and the least liked, will spread the standings even more. Now the top 10 is in three groups, wouldn't be terribly surprised to see those songs eventually spread a bit more.

Sleeping Sun losing to Stargazers is sad.
This in-album kinslaying also costs Sleeping sun the top.... now it's just a top three! three epics of course, we're on DTF after all :loser:
While it's easy to notice how songs drop off from the top, songs that already lost at the beginning but don't lose anymore kinda sneak up on you.... look at Come Cover Me reaching the 6th place when, with the same single defeat, it was 17th some time ago!
For what it's worth, right now we have a perfect first 64.... the group of songs that have to fight for survival week after week start to get clearer!

Wow! three major songs took a hit in the top ten, leaving She is My Sin alone at the 6th place.
The top 3 remains unchallenged so far.
Annette has 2 songs in the top 10, Floor only one if we consider Shudder Before the Beautiful tying in a group of songs that go over the 11th position.

Whaaat? it seems like yesterday we just started this as a companion with Metallica's league, and now we're already in "these songs are qualified" territory!
...even though it's not surprising that this applies to the three songs that are still going on with a perfect (ghost love) score at the top!

After the first qualifications, come the first eliminations, in a turn of events that is not exactly dramatic or unexpected, the bunch of 0 wins songs are all eliminated.
Now the question is: will they eventually catch a win? will the monster trio at the top ever lose or draw a match?
"Thanks" to equal scores we don't have a clear top ten, but I'd say that it's a bit surprising seeing Gethsemane up there with the classics / fan favorites, even though it had a resurgence due to the last tour.
New album territory: 6 songs going strong, two balancing on the edge between qualification and elimination, and two songs that are destined for elimination unless they make exceptional comebacks. Not bad I'd say.
-
I voted for The Eyes of Sharbat Gula at least 5 times. I think it's a very good instrumental piece. Would love for it to at least get one win.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that song, it's a nice companion to the other songs of the album, it's just that for a band like Nightwish, not having vocals is a big handicap, at least for me. But it's not that I think the song sucks, I just find preferring other (sung) songs.

I'm not a fan, at all. I prefer All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World to compare of these Toumas driven pieces of instrumentation. I'm typically not a fan at all of these songs, although I think there's a time and place for them. Just not really on NW albums IMO. I'm going to be going on vacation to Maine next week and have been thinking these songs might make for good background music on some hikes I'm looking to do. Time and place IMO.

Wow, a big bunch of songs crosses the finishing line and now nearly 30 songs are qualified!
We have an almost top ten, with 11 songs at the top not terribly surprising, even though I wouldn't have guessed for Gethsemane to be so up there.
There's also one song too many in the last group of 64, which goes over at 65, and I don't know if it's coincidence or a natural predisposition for the underdog that I always find myself rooting for songs from behind coming back, just as I was doing for Metallica and Dream Theater in their respective leagues... definitively I want Crownless to steal Devil's spot for example!

Aaaaand we have a top 10! and over 30 songs qualified.
Chaos and mayhem around the 64th place, lot of songs fightinging for the last remaining slots, of course it's still an open brawl and there will be many other matches for those slots to change.... (meanwile Tribal is almost out which would mark it as the first song from the new album eliminated)

Aaaaand we have it! the first defeat of one of the titans! Ghost Love Score lost to She is My Sin and, thanks to draws from other strong songs, retains the 3rd position leaving Beauty of the Beast and The Poet and the Pendulum alone in the lead!
She is My Sin also belongs to the group of songs that would have swallowed back Ghost Love Score in the second collective spot, wouldn't it be for a draw... and now we have a clear top ten!
On the new album front, How's the Heart is the leading song with 5 defeats (not enough to jeopardize the qualification), while Tribal is officially the first new song eliminated and the instrumental suite is definitively going next save surprises.
There's also a clear cutoff for the qualification and six songs threatening the last three which are, as of now, in.
I don't have strong opinions on those bunch of songs fighting for their lives but I surely hope Crownless will pull through... ironic to see a live staple as Wish I Had an Angel struggling even more behind!

Sure, let's swap them for The Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean, Feel for You, Two for Tragedy and Walking in the Air which are immediately above, fine for me :D ....even though we need to find a spot for Crownless as well ;D
-
Must be something with the match ups, because I'm with both of you, I like the all the songs Evermind listed over all the songs MirrorMask listed.

Sleeping Sun with its MOTW victory doesn't crack the top 10, but drags Shudder Before the Beautiful away from it, with nothing else changing at the top.
48 songs qualified and total mayhem around the 64th place, a big group of songs occupy those last stops and surely the desperate songs right behind will fight until the end. Go Crownless go!
Also, it's ironic to see "Yours is an Empty Hope" as the last song of those not eliminated, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy about the hopes of the song to pull through :D

Well that's good, because I'm baffled how Shudder has 18-2-2. It's just such a run of the mill Nightwish song.

I still don't get what the hell is Getshemane doing so up above, but I've accepted that my mild reaction to Oceanborn is an oddity in Nightwish fandom.
I don't think the album sucks or is average, and after all I looooove Stargazers and Sleeping Sun, and also Sacrament of Wilderness is very cool, I just don't connect that much with it.

Gethsemane had some easy matchups for sure. I'm not a big fan too.

Gethsemane got some new life from the Decades album

We have once again a top 10! with the usual two songs at the lead.
Of course this late in the game all the attention is to the fight for qualification - there's a BIG but not decisive jump forward of Crownless and Walking in the Air, while there's a melee of SIX songs fighting for TWO slots!
If it all ended now and it would be up to me, I'd save Higher than Hope and, dunno, either one out of Feel for You, The Riddler or For the Heart I Once Had, but I'm sad that My Walden might now pull through. Go Crownless go however!

WHOAH! exciting movements at the top ONE WEEK before the end of the regular season! The atmospheric beauty of Sleeping Sun brings down the mammoth opener of Dark Passion Play, which means that now Beauty of the Beast finds itself ALONE at the top, and just about to win in solitude the regular season! the other two "beasts", Ghost Love Score and The Poet and the Pendulum, fell respectively to She is My Sin and Sleeping Sun.
The top 10 also gets shuffled around a lot, becoming a top 12 - for what it matters, will we have a clear top 10 or these songs will all end up the season as they are?
At the bottom, it was a long time coming but we see the live staple Wish I Had an Angel eliminated.
For the exciting final 64 list, we see Crownless and Harvest making maybe decisive progress and this pleases me a lot (let's not screw this up in the last week ok guys?), while The Riddler and Walking in the Air are clinged to a spot that has room only for one song. And this spot interests as well four songs above the two Oceanborn ones, and other 5 that come right behind (personally I'd swap The Riddler for Devil and be done with it, there are sone good songs right behind but alas, you can't save them all).
I was so busy watching the movements around the 64th position that I didn't notice that almost every song left, by now, the very last place - now ironically only the band namesake song, Nightwish itself, is at the bottom, in the maybe surprising company of Sharbat Gula, a certainly good instrumental that never managed to catch a break.

Beauty of the Beast wins the season in solitary!!! :metal take heed of that Tuomas! :biggrin:
The podium is for the other two giant epics, Ghost Love Score and The Poet and the Pendulum.
We don't have a proper top 10 because of a tie but we can stretch it out to a top 15 and I daresay that hardly anyone will have something to complain about these fifteen songs being up there.
Very glad that a defeat was not enough to condemn Crownless, and now we have five songs occupying four spots - one will have to go, and from 65 we'll remain with 64 final songs!
At the bottom Sharbat Gula grabs a tie - this means that the namesake song of the band ends up last, with 25 defeats. Unreal! (well, not so unreal, it's not exactly Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath as a namesake song, but it's a bit funny that it ended up that way)

I had no idea The Islander was so well-liked but I'm glad it is.

So for the first three albums the leading song always won, and in two cases out of three (which, according to Meat Loaf, ain't bad) the first song defeated the second song in the final match.
RE the albums seeding: with Nightwish there are no blatant clunkers so it's a bit hard to separate the clearly best albums from the clearly worst albums, so it's hard to decide if that seeding is faithful to the overall quality or not.
-
Apropos of absolutely nothing, every time I scroll down to the subforum to see the Nightwish results, I sing "Polls/Survivors" to the tune of Helloween's Sole Survivor.

While Dark Passion Play respects the "first song defeats the second song in the final", Imaginaerum throws this out of the window! what a comeback for I Want My Tears Back that started fifth and won while Ghost River, the top song, didn't even reach the final!
I "blame" the overall quality of the album for results being unpredictble and a toss of a coin basically.

Three epics and a classic song :metal
An Annette song, two Tarja songs and one that, albeit sung by Tarja, got a renewed appreciation and live importance thanks to Floor. So, technically, Floor is not in the finals, but in a way she is.

I had no idea She is My Sin is so well-liked. It's somewhere in my Top 30 Nightwish songs I guess but nowhere near Top 4.

Thank you to everyone who played along over the course of the last 7+ months.

Be still, my son, you're mine
Oh when did you become my son?
The blade will keep on keeping on
All you need is to be my son
Search for beauty, find my son
Try to save them all, save them all
You have such oceans within
In the end you will always be my son
It was a great (and admittedly sometimes bizarre) experience but I had loads of fun. :biggrin: Thank you DoC for running this! Thank you MirrorMask, SleeperAwake and sometimes Milena and other people who voted but didn't post for participating! I was really expecting Ghost Love Score to win this but I'm pleasantly surprised that Poet won.
-
I too expected Ghost Love Score to win.
And then I expected Beauty of the Beast to win.
But well, it was a fantastic ride and The Poet and the Pendulum is a fantastic song anyway, and it's also the journey and the fun that matters, not the final outcome, otherwise there would be no point in making a Metallica survivor (Master is gonna win, d'uh).
Thank you Destiny of Chaos for being an absolutely amazing host, I hope you had the same fun in conducting the survivor as I had in trying to keep pace with Evermind's toomfoolery in the partecipation :lol
-
The Poet and the Pendulum was not the expected winner for me, but it's a great and worthy song. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ghost Love Score never went up against Beauty of the Beast did it? That would have been interesting.
Anyway, thank you to all who participated and Destiny Of Chaos for running the whole thing. It's been a lot of fun. :)
