Potential - but nothing drauß made!

The individual songs go through, is not worthwhile, because most are unfortunately quite interchangeable. Tracks 1-7 differ so little that absolutely nothing remains hanging. Sure, it is also not a single really bad song, but it is all just average. On the rear track is finally one with an interesting theme here, which seems to build up nice and slow - but then comes just nothing great to, but ridiculous children's choir. Sorry, but that was one of the low points of Imaginaerum. The repetition does not make it better, but ruined myself this a song that would have had the potential to be something special. When I imagine that that is not the subject stretches over 4 minutes but finally losfetzt to 2.5, that there is only so smokes that you finally can also completely Floor of a leash, or perhaps rhythmically times dares something more challenging, simply just anything that would make a nice motif a really good song - but no: children's choir I have to. Honestly: At the point I feel almost ripped from the self-proclaimed top songwriter. The whole album seems as if Tuomas no right Bock more on songwriting. It would be now that you finally have a good singer with steam in the pipes on board, have a great opportunity to regain lost ground - and then they can not show a single time what they can on the album. Ok, after all, it was her spared having to like Anette show what they unfortunately can not all, but still. It is incomprehensible to me how so consistently can not use as much potential in a band.
What remains? Well, a very average album, for the first time since the founding of the band without a single song that really excited. Everything seems somehow faked, washable, consumer-friendly but just not KINDA original. Really a shame, but this band should either hire a new songwriter or retire.
