Despite the departure of Tarja, Nightwish 2007 vintage gives us a great album perfectly: melodies breathtaking and varied. For me, this is probably their best album (musically speaking). Cadence of her last breath, Sahara, Lost of the wilds and obviously The poet and the Pendulum are just plain awesome ...
To summarize, if you were a fan of the rather lyrical singing Tarja (although less present in the latest album "Once"), you may be a little disappointed if you can buy this album with closed eyes !! -D
