A large gothic symphonic metal band sinks into the pop style. Or is it just the contribution to the Euro Vision Song Contest? This requires no floor and Anette did not have to be fired. "The Greatest Show on Earth" is supposed to be a 24-minute magnum opus the highlight on the March 27 released album "Endless Forms Most Beautiful". And now this: not a soprano, no opulent orchestration, no bombast, no rapid Akkordrepetitionen, no classical and romantic elements, no Mystic, no power metal ... just pop radio for the mass market. The mastermind Tuomas Holopainen will surely not run out of steam? Or can a single release does not close on the whole album? The anticipation of the new album is certainly damped.
