So if I'm honest I do not understand why so many have problems with this debut. Surely, this album production technology can not be compared with the successors, but that also gives it its own unique charm, with the music as in all other releases of this exceptional band about all doubt anyway, and pieces such as Beauty and the Beast and Elvenpath now have become classics, which still belong to the Live Set. But all the other pieces of this album do to please, be it for Nightwish rather unusual The Carpenter, the beautiful ballad Angels Fall First or the beautifully melancholic Lappi (Lapland) Vierteiler Finnish at the end of the CD, in its first piece Tarja the only time sings. This CD is an experience which can be hard to put into words, and should not be missing as each other Nightwish album in any collections. , Highly recommended music with heart and soul.
