I think Imaginaerum is incredibly dull, honestly...

To each their own

Personally, it is my favorite Nightwish album.

Same for me, really can't stand listening to it, easily their worst album for me.

I wouldn't say worst, but it sure ain't their best.

Century Child is the best them.

Better than Once?

I personally think it is, but it doesn't contain my favorite songs.

bosk1 · « **Reply #1160 on:** October 11, 2013, 01:32:28 PM »

My top 3:
1. Once
2. Century Child
3. Imaginaerium

After that, I don't really listen to the others much, other than the odd song or two here and there. But those three are tops for sure, and 1 and 2 are almost interchangeable. Once just sounds a tad more polished and modern, so I give it a slight edge.

Imaginaerum is Nightwish's best album. It's the only album of their's where I can listen to the whole thing. Not a weak track. Every other one of their albums have weak or even bad/boring songs.

It's close, but yes, CC is tops for me.

Are you nucking futs?

The opening and closing tracks are entirely skipable, Arabasque is clearly a bridge track (but it's kinda cool), and Tuomas's penchant for long drawn out ramblings detracts from the flagship song (on both DPP and Imag'n). Hell, I programmed Song of Myself to end at the 7:10 mark.

Zook · « **Reply #1163 on:** October 11, 2013, 02:42:58 PM »

I like the opening, and although I did make an edit of SOM as well, the full version never bothered me. Arabasque is awesome. Once has Creek Mary's Blood, Wish I Had an Angel and a few others I could do without. Same with Century Child. The middle section of Scartale is pretty stupid, but again, it never bothered me and I was never compelled to skip it.

Tastes, shmastes.

Exactly. I love Creek Mary's Blood, native chant and all. The version from End of an Era is chilling.

Buddyhunter1 · « **Reply #1165 on:** October 11, 2013, 03:52:29 PM »

Creek Mary's Blood is one of the best songs on Once...
I agree with Wish I Had An Angel though. Don't like that song.

Yup, I think Once is the best album.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1167 on:** October 11, 2013, 05:25:03 PM »

I enjoy mostly all of Once, even Wish I Had an Angel.

gazinwales · « **Reply #1168 on:** October 11, 2013, 06:31:50 PM »

As much as I love Once, my all time fave NW is Oceanborn.
I remember playing it to death when it first came out, I love every second of it.
Played in in the car yesterday and sounds as good as ever.

I'm a big fan of wishmaster too

Album with Dead Gardens better than CC? I'm not saying it's a bad song, but completely in a different league than any song on Century Child.

I think Once is a bit too bloated, but still a good album. Planet Hell, Ghost Love Score and Higher Than Hope are amazing.

Imaginaerum has the worst NW song ever (Storytime), Ghost River sounds a bit silly and I'm not too crazy about I Want My Tears Back, although the middle section is insanely cool when played live. Everything else is amazing. Best post-Tarja album. Anette doesn't deserve all the hate, people just should go and listen to Slow, Love, Slow.

Why are your opinions so weird?!

Ruba · « **Reply #1172 on:** October 12, 2013, 10:28:00 AM »

Dunno. Something in the drinking water, perhaps?

? · « **Reply #1173 on:** October 12, 2013, 10:41:30 AM »

I don't hate Storytime, but I've found it pretty annoying from day one. The fact that it was overplayed on Finnish radio didn't help $:\$

aprilethereal · « **Reply #1174 on:** October 12, 2013, 11:54:14 AM »

Storytime's vocal melodies are pretty weak imo.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1175 on:** October 12, 2013, 01:05:07 PM »

Storytime is an excellent song...within the context of the story. I enjoy Imaginarium a LOT, just as much as Once. Ghost Story(weird ass spelling), The Island, and Ghost Love Score are my top 3.

bosk1 · « **Reply #1176 on:** October 12, 2013, 08:59:33 PM »

Storytime is an excellent song, period.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #1177 on:** October 12, 2013, 11:21:10 PM »

Yes it is, its even more better with talaktavi before it

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #1178 on:** October 13, 2013, 02:35:59 AM »

Dark Passion Play is by far my favorite Nightwish album. Masterpiece front to back, IMO.

I absolutely agree. It is in my top 10 Nightwish songs. I love it.

Riitasointi · « **Reply #1180 on:** October 14, 2013, 05:44:57 AM »

I have to go on and state my opinion on Storytime as well. It's really good! One of my favorite NW songs tbh (not that I'm too familiar with their catalogue but anyway). The whole of Imaginaerum is very likeable to me actually. Who else is looking forward to Tuomas' Uncle Scrooge thing?

Today we released the first video clip out of the upcoming »Showtime, Storytime« release (out on November 29th)!

AWESOME! She sounded really out of breath on the first verse, but the grit in her voice is something neither Anette nor Tarja could ever do. But by the time she got to the operatic parts after the second verse and then the vamping at the end...

This is going to be a cool DVD. Can't wait.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #1183 on:** October 18, 2013, 08:07:01 AM »

I haven't really been paying attention so... what happened to Anette?

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1184 on:** October 18, 2013, 09:29:44 AM »

Happened over a year ago. Start here - https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=8645.msg1410261#msg1410261

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #1185 on:** October 18, 2013, 09:35:21 AM »

I still don't get it. She got sick, couldn't perform, and Nightwish decided to go on without her? And then she got mad and quit?

? · « **Reply #1186 on:** October 18, 2013, 09:38:53 AM »

There has to be more to it than just the illness incident, considering the guys had asked Floor to join them for the dates after the movie premiere even before all went down.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #1187 on:** October 18, 2013, 09:39:50 AM »

Undoubtedly there is more to it, but yeah... she took her toys and went home.

Pretty much. But from the press release at the time it sounded like there were other differences or tensions and that this incident was just the tipping point.

cramx3 · « **Reply #1189 on:** October 18, 2013, 03:15:42 PM »

I also recall Annette saying when she got sick they discovered something else was wrong with her and I've always wondered if that played a role too.
