Well, that will make this album for discussion is not difficult to foresee, removed the tape but an increasing number of their style they have started with "Angels Fall First" and finished with "Oceanborn" on. And that's a good thing, because we come not only to fabricate a half-baked copy of former successes under suspicion. One should just as it did approach the predecessor album "Century Child" without blinkers on this album, you will recognize his true greatness. Anyway, I'm excited about this album, even though I am Nightwish fan since the first album. Ok, it is at the beginning a bit bulky, and some songs need their time, but that's basically nothing negative, I think the balance between catchiness (Nemo, Wish I had an Angel) and complexity (Ghost Love Score, Creek Mary's Blood) is here succeeded excellently. Especially "Ghost Love Score" is an excellent example of how well can harmonize together a band with an orchestra and ensures goosebumps after another. Even with this album will probably again many disturbing at Marco's vocals, his voice is more often heard than its predecessor, making the songs but not harm, but they succeeded in rounding off and adds variety. Finally it should be said, that should give the album deserved chance every Nightwish fan. And because of the accusation of Trendanbiederei: Nightwish this have no need, they set their own trends, and I find it frankly did not succeed when you grudged as a loyal fan-deserved success. Even if it the band was initially strange for me to see on Viva Plus I do think it's a good thing because it really can not hurt if a little fresh wind is blowing in the charts and not only of alleged "Superstars" is being harassed. For this album I a strong buy recommendation.
