Oops! Just look at what I started back in 2009!
Quite a discussion, eh?
If we don't watch out, it is going to be like that discussion that is still taking place (since 2005 and going on until the present day) in Nightwish... I can imagine that in Nightwish people have their opinions on with whom the band is 'better' or 'worse' since those two singers are so different. But I don't really see the point of such a discussion for TG... I have seen videos of the Chile concert of last March, and I was actually stunned to see that Silje nailed In Motion, Saturnine, Travel ...
And regrets about the Anneke era? Well, maybe just the Nighttime Birds album, which I find is a pretty failed attempt to equal to (the success of) Mandylion. TG isn't exploring or doing new things there, the fact that I love on other albums. This being said with the exception of Inuit and Third Chance. I do think those songs are brilliant.
Besides that, the only thing I don't like about the Anneke era is the second half of the Souvenirs album. That's just because I don't like the songs in general, but maybe (in both cases) it's just a matter of listening to them more often ...
As far as I hadn't already expressed myself as such: Si, si, si; je, je, je; Viva Silje!
