For me personally one of the best ever Nightwish Albums (have any previous well in my possession) and for me one of the best albums of all my collection. The new singer of the band is damn good, but they can both dominant powerfully, as well as calm and sing with great feeling. The complete album is (as Nightwish actually used) completely built according to a concept. It's about evolution, beauty of nature, of life, of living beings and to mainstream the issue from cover to cover. The songs sound creative and new and are still in the style of Nightwish: You forget time and space around it and can dream. They sound definitely no less hard than before and make it again and again that everything looks brilliant, epic and melodic. The whole album proves great attention to detail. It begins in the beautifully landscaped DigiBook. You really feel a high-quality book, rather than a disdainful CD case to hold in your hand. Exemplary! Definitely an album that you want to have more zuause in CD rack stand, instead of having only digitally on the hard disk.
