The new album is pretty good, but their older stuff is far better. Good band. Sharon has a very unique and recognizable voice.

I don't understand the ins and outs of the band's UK album releases: it's all too complicated. The Silent Force has been obtainable in the UK for some time - it just depends which kind of shop you go to.

As for the album itself, it's nicely crafted, but a bit too "clean" for my taste. There's nothing wrong with producing a slick, beautifully orchestrated piece of work if that's what the audience want, but if it's still meant to be "beauty and the beast" gothic metal, it needs a bit of a rough edge.

Nowadays, I mostly listen to Enter.

"Fronted by the nightingale-throated Sharon den Adel"

muahahahahahahha that line sucks!!! :surprised:

On the albums she sings clean (used a filter)...but live :cry: that is horror for your ears :cry: she sings goddamn false!!! I have really no idea why people adore her voice :o

I also like the album Enter, the other albums boring.

When you say false you mean she’s off key? Well, yeah, she is not very
good. She doesn’t have a strong voice. There are lots of tricks available
in studio, but usually when you sing to tape, it is just a clean singing.
You do it till you get it right. Then you’ll add extra bells and whistles.

anyway i don't like them, but i don't hate them either...but when she can't sing live...puh...

my friend works at the airport and last week nightwish came into his shop.. he hates them and after some time he asked, who they were and they said "we are nightwish", he knew it but answered, "never heard"... :P

I like them at first, but then i saw the video and it made me smile, ´cause it was so...commercial (if it´s the right word...maybe ridiculous:)...something like Rasmus or HIM - i don´t believe to their music at all. And i have headaches ´cause of Sharon´s voice. :-?

WT's first two albums were great. I personally own only one metal album containing grunting male vocals, and that album is WT's first album, Enter. The second one, Mother Earth, I find truly mesmerizing. Beautiful music, great playing, etc... (I love Sharon's voice, but Anneke is still the #1 :wink:)

Anyway, the newest one... AWFUL ProTools shit, if you ask me. But hey, what else can you except from SonyBMG - yes, I blame the record company, not the band. Every goddam song has this ticking de-facto protools drum loop in the background. It's really awful. Truly. Not a single 16th note slot has been left empty. WT's previous albums sounded much more spacious - I liked it better that way.

Just my 5 cents.

I like WT so i don't see why should I have done it. i feel always something warmth inside when I know some newcomer is coming for someone who I like. That's unfortunately not a thing you could change.

I was also overexcited during the two pregnancies of my sister so I know what's about. And you know there's a singer girl called something like Anneke :wink: Seems she was pregnant too and (almost) none of us let it without sending some best-wishes message. this is the same although I'm not a fan of them.

Please DO NOT turn a topic what is about a singer girl's happiness to some other what's about you. Even so there are too many.
Right? :-|

Except little phm, little phm doesn't care about natural, earthly matters, little phm is only interested in spreading his own bad seed all over the place. Poor little phm, so insecure...

Another thing you said just to say something. Nothing connection, nothing new (yes we know!!!), just to say something.

I regret you.
