At first I thought I could save my investment for the single, since I already DETERMINED to the album. Glad I did it to me yet bought! - Not because of Amaranth. "While your lips are silent red", sung by Bassitsen Marco Hietala, is a hammer, and thus the "secret", actual hit. Only because of this song, the purchase is worth all; a beautiful ballad that always generates at me goose bumps, in the finest Nightwish-style. Just a pity that Tarja does not sing, but that's another story ... That Marco has a super good rock voice, he proves in the "demo version" of Amaranth, which I find almost better than the real version. Had they completely arranges me orchestras, such as the version that (the "New") has sung Anette Olzon, the Abba effect would not even occur to many diehard Nightwish fans complain at this point. I do not mean to say that she sings bad - certainly not! - But Maro has a really great voice, not so much came to former Nightwish albums because Tarja's dominance advantage. The only total failure: The orchestral version of Eve would have been able to save. Only instrumental. Superfluous. Gap filler. I'm still not really dealt with Anette Olzon, who's represented by Amaranth also with a whole piece. Well - it looks good ... and singing ... actually like Agneta of Abba. It's a matter of taste (and even can be known, do not argue). I think it's really not bad, but with the former Nightwish that has not much to do. But it has finally nobody said that a band should not change. But a few words about Tarja (the "Ex"): If it's no longer going along, then it is no longer just. It's like in any marriage better, and you have to accept. Life goes on. Me it would not be surprised if there would be in a few years, a large "Reunion" of Nightwish. In "original cast", with the associated media hype, the astronomically in the height allows for quick sales It would not be the first time in the history of music, and is a rogue who thinks of a marketing strategy. So we look forward to the new Nightwish album "Dark Passion Play" and on Tarja's solo debut, which is supposed to also appear even sometime this year. Thus, it is not a question of "either or" but of "both".
