New start, very promising

Obviously those who feel that Nightwish and Tarja Turunen will indisociable are outraged by this production. But I remind you that Nightwish is Tuomas Holopainen. And composer whimsical aimed especially right by recruiting the Swedish Anette Olson. And we can expect great things in the future, because although some consider to reason that Dark Passion Play is a less good album Once, he did this is only the first album with Anette. And can one say that it is worse than Angels Fall First example?

If Tuomas, Marco, Jukka and Emppu said farewell to Tarja, it is that there was a reason. Who can say that a new album would have been good with a délétaire atmosphere in the group? Opportunities for Anette, a small damn talented and energetic singer (I saw the band live in Manchester with Tarja and the Zenith of Paris with Anette, and believe me the benefit far outweighs the latter).

So welcoming Anette, what about the Dark Passion Play album? You make a big splash, for sure! The sound of the album is certainly less Gothic but power is more present than ever. A small Bye Bye Beautiful, seasoned with a brutal Master Passion Greed will convince you, even if here is Marco Hietala who puts potatoes in the vote. Its low, supported by the guitar (and vice versa) of demented Emppu and Jukka-powerful battery, Nightwish put into orbit.
The essence remains the melodies based on Tuomas synth game, which was also decorated its classic titles passages (of the Poet and the Pendulum, it is believed at one time to hear the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings).
For me every title is worth its weight in gold, the most notorious being the aforementioned securities and Amaranth (a bis Nemo!), Sevan Days to the Wolves and the Islander, probably the most original composition of the group since its inception ( Marco thank you!), and the opportunity to regain some breath in the furnace the Zenith!
In the end, we Nightwish balance an unforgettable work of musical art, the four compèrent welcome to Anette by digging a little in all that they had made earlier, the subtlety of the power of Oceanborn Once.

Roll on the next one!
