Left in the Dark (Audio CD)

Customer Review

as really big fan of Tarja, I discovered this publication recently here on Amazon and could now enjoy the download on "Amazon Music". On the delivery of the data carrier, however, I had to wait, but ultimately these now receive. That's why I have this review also again now revised to allow the reader also has a detailed look at the product. (Updated 07/06/2014)

Note: It was a classic spontaneous purchase, I knew nothing about this album in advance of publication, and have let me surprise therefore. This is also successful, because in essence it is indeed here to a new interpretation of popular songs from the album "Colours in the Dark". Is it worth buying? In my view already, but the wheel with this EP was really not reinvented.

CD (haptic / equipment).

"Left in the Dark" comes in a digipack format with a one "booklet tray" inside. The booklet contained therein does not contain any lyrics, but on either side of a successful in my subjective view information on each title, with respect to its specificity to the legislative history (in English). In the way as the contained on the CD version of Live in the studio of "Radio Vorterix" in Buenos Aires has arisen at 500 Letters and Tarja played the piano and sang himself. That it but at this live event was no audience and they felt this as a "funny" ... etc .. It would go too far here as well, so to explain for each title now. The presentation is neat. Each page is determined by a geometric figure and coloring in puristic design. I find everything very personally managed. The entire digipack is advised neat, solid standard.

"Left in the Dark" - impression and subjective feeling.

"Where the language stops, the music begins" Ernst Hoffmann (1766 -1822)

The quote shows very well how I feel about the "writing" of music. I personally do not think that you can describe the essence of music with "sweeping" stories. That's why I describe no songs in the style "The deep bass to the overture and the stringed instruments is fantastic at -song X ..." Everyone has their own perception and taste and likes the look different, and that's a good thing, That is why it is please forgive me to music in this kind to take. Audio samples are available to every reader of these lines right here on Amazon are available and make more sense than going further into it. After I "Left in the Dark" by the first part completely times, I forgave 4 stars and thought that should not be missed as a fan of this listening experience. Even after repeated by listening to my "adequately" equipped stereo system in the last two days, it remains in this assessment and the stars. The pieces are clearly instrumental and quieter than on "Colours in the Dark". It simply recognizes many new aspects held half the songs too familiar. The instrumental version of "Deliverance" stood out particularly, and I found this to be particularly strong. Track 6 "Into the Sun", I regard as particularly successful. But if there is something subjective, then surely the music and taste. That is why I now consider myself also back to evaluate every single song. Fans will be "in the Dark Colours" etc .. are all aware of anyway. And so we come to the core of the criticism of this EP, in my view.

It makes sense only for absolute fans who really every song the most versatile "lyric soprano" the world already dozens of times up and down have heard. For although it is in all the songs contained on this EP at first releases on CD, but when there was probably Downloads one or the other even before. An ambivalent product policy without question, why even the terms of the fans and the meaningfulness. Who still has none of the versions contained, as for example was the case with me, for / goes the just ok. Where the purpose of this publication is to open up more. Honestly currently in release 12.99 euros, are not overly expensive, especially by the Autorip does that for me as a fan just so in order precisely because of the digital variant additionally, but for 10 songs, the average consumer uses be better the Colours in the Dark "Original Album" which is also available with Autorip and CD here on Amazon for 5.55 euros currently. Is simply obvious when one calls neither his own. This publication I would therefore a classic "nice to have" to categorize the fan who already has everything and wants nothing Skipping this exceptional singer or can. Due to these circumstances, I subtract a star. A fan is to buy but definitely not regret it, in my view. Therefore, for this also an absolute recommendation.

A Note For a general nature regarding "helpful review" and "fandom" (Nightwish / -Tarja):

I have the review now easily adds because I was able to evaluate only the download variant previously. 2 days ago I have this set, simply because I wanted to give interested people an opportunity to assess these EP publication. But I was then times directly with "unhelpful reviews" (currently 2/5 useful reviews) "happy", in an extremely short time. I have written a very long time no longer review on Amazon. First, it takes time and, secondly, it is often no longer thanked (It used to be a difference). Since I was used to a very different resonance. Some people I know write for a long time no more reviews on Amazon because the "Fan" versus "Hatertum" for certain products, especially in consumer electronics brand products from certain producers with "status symbol character" and also in the music industry drives strange blooms. As will no longer rated whether a review was helpful or not, at the product, but it is called the "Like" or "Dislike" Button totally misused, which I think is incredibly unfortunate. Some values ​​accordingly sympathy / antipathy towards the artists and etc..Tarja Turunen Nightwish has since generally a special thing.

Some simply can not both find good, what is incredible shame. You can see it also always thinking about the differences to "helpful / not helpful" (see Colours in the Dark), that there are people, who are unable to read what reviews, but simply "down rates" only after the evaluation. Grotesque in my view! "Fandom" at its worst! Many seem not to have it twisted, this is Tarja Turunen went their own way, from whatever reason this happened. The "Nightwish" past throws long shadows until today as one sees again and again. And I say this as well convinced Nightwish fan today as then. I also liked Anette and like Floor Jansen. I like the change, but it is the opposite of a standstill. In some people, it's probably the other way around. Also ok as long as you can the other in peace. But this is just one example. If someone has only just a different opinion, as this will be done poorly in the form of a "not hilfreichs". Instead it just to let them stand, is rather quickly "pushed" to discredit the other opinion, rather than simply times nothing to evaluate. Ill make something that "love" some people apparently simply because it often requires no real "Causa" for, there are also always unfortunately the "Real Life" and is anonymous then again a completely different topic apparently , We must not find any "review" helpful, but not really serious "review" has "not helpful" deserves in my opinion to the Amazon. I at least respect and think the use and expense of other people and their opinions on issues even if I think differently about it. As has been no review for this new release, and there was not much information about the product, I wanted to give other people a help, not more. Only that's why I've written a review, from a good intention out that it will run so I just think nurnoch extremly bad.

But I let myself not influenced by something in my opinion, in principle it is I do not care what anyone thinks to click! What's the big deal? I've got no particular ambitions here. But it is as a phenomenon but interesting and sad. Since Amazon can not help it, on the contrary. This "unhelpful" feature in itself is meaningful and comprehensible for example if people like so often evaluate the suppliers and not the product. This is certainly not helpful. But this constant "bashing" other opinions in the form of "purposes other reviews" here on Amazon bothers many serious people, which is a shame. Because you lose the desire to spend his time for just "anonymous pass" for his opinion in to be punished. This used to be a difference, but as part of the conformist "mainstream" everything "friend / enemy" or "like / dislike" is just stuck fast or good / evil or black / white in the drawer. A constructive comment is found but then almost never. As one would argue it myself! Was probably the time being the reasons mentioned my last review on Amazon. As such, the Amazon reviewer's platform is really a very good and useful thing, when making purchasing decisions I take this generally happy (even with purchases at retail via smartphone example). But if you must, but live with the more and more people use the time differently, rather than a review to post it "unhelpful" to collect reviews. Each of these so should think about this in the long term he only harms himself, because when making purchasing decisions / interest in the product, simply no unprejudiced reviews are available and you can buy the "blue". Only Amazon can unfortunately not help it, that's the zeitgeist now times as it is today. As mentioned before, it was just used to be different, because the Internet was also not the "mass media" (emphasis on "mass") today, with corresponding effects on the quality of development in the "World Wide Web" also with regard to terms such as behavior, respect or about tolerance of other opinions. Am not a fan "age matters" of this, but as for these things and the Web, we must be stated as the well! The Gaussian normal distribution can be beautiful greeting. "Beautiful new world.
