Great voice reigning over all

After the first "shock" due to the tough breaks at the very first song I listened to the rest with even greater tension.
Whoever thought Tarja lulls one with a sweetly hingeträllertem melting, you are wrong.
And at that, without even beginning to remember Nightwish.

The whole work sounds very mature, exciting and has produced super. Tarja is very well staged, it is formally enthroned over the songs.
Sometimes you would be perhaps a little less dominance desired, so that the songs work more than harmony, but that's
more of a side note, since the end result is still very compelling.

My favorite is unfortunately only on the Auxiliary CD.
"Naiad" is incredibly complex and multifaceted, just the thing to Tarja's voice fully to enjoy.

Both CD's are no failures. The mixture between tougher, slightly heavy-inspired songs and the Tarja-typical ballads
also very balanced.

Compared to "My Winter Storm" is definitely an evolution again.
