Basically I voted against the Tarja albums  :D
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

The first choice is especially hard. They're hardly the same band, basically. How do you compare an album full of youthful exuberance, with a classical singer, to an album released at the peak of their maturity with not one but TWO different singers? I could have voted either way.

Imaginaerum is btw my favorite album of them so by definition I will always prefer it to anything else.

Imaginaerum is having a resurgence in acclaim, it was ranked as the top NW album in two publications that I read just recently, by all the staff members. I kinda can't divorce it from the context of Tuomas making a movie about himself  :lol
