Bye Bye Beautiful (the 3rd single) and Master Passion Greed are about as subtle as your average ned - slamming into respectively their former singer and her husband - but both pretty damn good

The question is, is the new singer any good? I say yes without question. She's a rock singer who can do opera (Tarja was the opposite) but that works. So so much has gone into this album, and with each listen I'm picking up new nuances. Truly a wonderful album, and well worth the wait!  |
It is a damn fine album in my opinion. I only got the album a few weeks ago as I was slightly skeptical, but the first time I heard it I thought it was fantastic. I know every Nightwish album, and saw them during the
Once tour - yet I instantly accepted the new singer, so I think the new era that the band has entered will be a successful one
I can't wait to see them live again.
As you mentioned, there are definite lyrics aimed at Tarja and her husband, and they are in no way subtle! I always knew the band members felt very strongly about certain issues.
The Poet and The Pendulum is a masterpiece and the album as a whole has a great diversity, with 'Last of The Wilds' being my favorite of their instrumental tracks to date.
