I'm loving this album.  It's on repeat in the car, really great stuff.

Just chiming in to say Nightingale is awesome :metal Better Safe Than Sorry is the most addictive song I've heard in a while.

Why is Moontower so freaking hard to find. You'd think a reissue would be in order.

Chiming in to say that Crimson is one hell of an underrated song/album. I think Mikael Åkerfeldt's minute long scream halfway into the song is one of his best screaming passages IMO.

Even though it's from an album full of rerecorded Nightingale songs I personally love Nightmare Overture off of the album of the same name better than the one off of The Breathing Shadow. The tone of Swano's guitar on that version sounds  :censored awesome and crunchy!  :metal

Made my all time top 20, perfect song/album.

So three people here want a copy.  Now go find 9997 more and you'll have a shot at getting a reprint.

If you can prove it to whoever owns the rights, I'm sure they would love to take everyone's money.

You can also just buy the legal mp3 version.  I prefer a physical copy, but I'm not going to pass up albums just because I don't have a physical copy.  Also, consider setting up an eBay alert.

Now I feel bad for buying Moontower off the shelves of the metal section of a local record store a few years back.

I just thought of something.  You should ask Blood Music, they seem to be in the business of making special re-releases.  They post here occasionally.

Svart Records also does a lot of vinyl reissues, but I think they release some CDs as well.

Nah they do CDs as well, that one Sigh reissue came in CD or Vinyl formats.

And with the recent Cloudkicker ones they did, there was CD and Vinyl options for both albums.

Ironically Nightfall Overture is the album I listen to the most (on Spotify), although I don't have it on CD. It truly feels like a"best-of" release and all the songs sound much more kick-ass than their originals, thanks to the great production and Dan's more powerful vocals. :metal It's amazing how much he improved as a singer after the first four albums.

Been listening to the new Nightingale album.

Holy crap, it is amazing. Dan Swano's voice is the aural equivalent of pure gold.

Retribution was my AOTY :metal

I recommend everyone to buy a physical copy, because the vinyl mix on the enhanced part of the CD is amazing and worth every cent! :hefdaddy

Got my copy in the mail a couple of weeks back but I haven't had a decent chance to crack it open and have a listen.  Should do that tonight.

Finally got my hands on "Retribution" and WOW is it good! Dan's voice is really really outstanding and the songwriting is so cool as well... catchy tunes with lots of nice twists and turns... perfect! Can't stop listening to it. Dan is the man! \,,/

Yeah, I've been spinning Retributon for the last couple of weeks and it's quite outstanding.  On Stolen Wings, Chasing the Storm and Forevermore are my favs, but the whole thing is good.

no way, you love the song stacked with the most memorable melodies! which isn't to say it's cheeseless, but that "Chasing the Storm Away" is FAR cheesier.
