I have very clearly screwed my expectations for the Single Elan down and lo and behold - for me is Nightwish with this album much more symphonic metal as the addressed just by me newcomer band. Although many elements of sound on this CD, as if you had heard it all before 1000 from Nightwish, Nightwish is just Nightwish. In this case, rather more average Nightwish, which I miss in no bombast and hardness. The amplified folk elements are perhaps a matter of taste. Mir gefällts. But there are also two or three somewhat flatter - I call now times provocative "pop" Metal songs like Elan on the CD that you can listen to, but not necessarily. From floor I would have expected a bit more, in fact, but after repeated listening I find it keinesweg weak. They sing quite varied, but cautious. I understand how most critics also not because they still very much on the Storytime DVD shows that she is with her vocal range for Nightwish a win or would ....
In my opinion, Endless Forms Most Beautiful is a good symphonic metal CD, to which one might need a bit of getting used to. Therefore my recommendation for fans with high expectations: Hear them you before your payment is for ... Nightwish conditions still room for improvement, which one has perhaps deliberately kept open in point singing? As Symphonic Metal CD significantly more symphonic metal is included as described above with newcomer band in this CD. Therefore, I give one more point.
