still doesn't beat tarja turunen... it will never be the same was hoping this new album would let Anette show off a bit more bc the songs were not wrote for tarjas voice but still not to impressed
I realize im going to get alot of haters for this but im still going to say it.
I dont like this album, im sorry but there it is. I feel this album is really gimicky, which is not nightwish at all. they could've done some much with this, officially dissapointed.
and yes i prefer tarja, but no i dont hate anette
@McFenzel You have include the fact, that this album is also a soundtrack to a movie, which could cause the gimicks... Still well presented critisism appreciated ;)
The choir in the background reminds me of the music in the Polar Express when things start getting frantic XD If you didn't notice just keep that movie in mind and re-listen to it
this is the song that I liked most of his new album, love the time of nightwish with tarja, his magnificent voice and so I follow his solo career. but the music of Tuomas is also wonderful! and I think that's why we're still fans of Nightwish, nightwish all makes us feel like no other
probably a dumb question, but how does nightwish get the symphony of singer's in the back round because its in their live performance but there are no back up singers is it tuomas or no?
@onesuperflywhitedude You can also see if you can get your hands on an electronic keyboard, many have instrumental settings of choirs. Just a thought :)
Wow. Definitely one of my favorite songs, not just from this album, but from Nightwish, period. In my opinion, this song has some of the best lyrics on the entire album.
Zhè shǒu gē shì jīngrén de - This Song is Amazing Well Duh! It's Nightwish There Always ( Well Sometimes) Excellent Especially This Wonderful Song ( I'm Learning Chinese using Google lol )
@RachelBeeHietala I thought the same thing and it was driving me crazy I know this song! Funny thing is i remembered its dragonforce soldiers of the wasteland I think or some other song from dragonforce
Nightwish forever!!! Rythm, Metal, Classical/orchestra, gothic and now jazz. Excellent job Nightwish! Simply the best band out there! Every album is a surprise from the 1 st one to the last. Thumbs up all the time.
@dragonicstorm300 a que ya no parece nightwish , no se que paso con esta banda,esto es una bola de ruido a dos mil por hora sin sentido alguno, es cualquiera...me voy a escuchar un poco de Tarja solista, chau.
I just feel like allmoust 4 -5 person are here in every page becouse?Reason:1.They like it, but cant not admit it them selfs.2.Becouse they try the find every little details in this masterpiece,oh now again Nightwish stole somebodys music,dont you hear it.My oppinion is sience Mozart and beattles everybodys find some innfluences what they have made it.3.Some reason they try to turn every bodys head against NW music, and allmoust becouse everybody likes it.4.They are just jelous.5.Living in past?
omg... I've heard snippets of Nightwish between bands such Animals as Leaders, Tesseract, Mastodon... but wow.. this is well beyond classification. Amazing job on all fronts.
Powerful... beautiful. Well, duh! It is Nightwish. Their music always lightened me up and reminded me of the great vistas that only imagination and intuition can reach. After all, William Blake once so wisely said, "The imagination is not a state; it is the human existence itself."
Just Amazing!! my whole body feels the notes, the amazing bass, the chorus, you have always a new feeling, there´s a whole musical evolution with every Nightwish new album. Love the way Tuomas puts each instrument, each note in the right place at the right time. Nightwish will be the best forever!!
@musicman972, @smiley862 The "Dead Boy" represents the loss of one's innocence. He's referring to himself. Life's difficulties make you cynical and the purity fades away while growing up. In most of his songs he longs for it.
I absolutely adore Nightwish, and I've noticed in this song, and many others, the prase 'Dead Boy', so I was wondering if someone could tell me is there any deaper meaning to it because, in my opinion, it's mentioned way to often to be a coincedince :)
@smiley862 I'm not sure as I am a newer Nightwish fan but, I think it is in reference to a close friend of Toumas' who is now dead. I can't remember where I read that...Look up Nightwish and the song Dead Boys' Poem and the album Wishmaster on wikipedia. Hope this helps.
@musicman972 Well, it's one of Tuomas alter egos in his lyrics =). He refers to himself as a "dead boy" because his poetry's all about his lost innocence. After a warm childhood he faced many troubles in life, seeing the world through an "adult" and different eye, which is different to his sensibility and it actually destroyed his soul :(. The dear friend who's dead is mentioned in "Higher than Hope", and he died of cancer... but the "dead boy" has nothing to do with him ;).
Ignore any of my previous comments. I jumped the gun on this one and got shot as a result. I can see now why people like Imaginaerum, especially since it actually does keep up the status queue despite my initial beliefs. Maybe this'll teach me to not doubt Nightwish in the future.
@Sirikyuse Nice to know that. I told you, it's a deep album, not superficial at all. You have to re-listen everything to dwelve into the theme park. Welcome to Imaginaerum! :)
While it is still Nightwish, Imaginaerum doesn't live up to the lofty standards the band has set for itself. I'm not saying it's a bad album, but it's not exactly the best Nightwish album, even if you consider their last album, Dark Passion Play. While I like the concept behind the album, the band kind of fell on it's face with the execution.
As for the song: It's great, but it wouldn't be one of the strong tracks if it were on one of their past albums. Just some food for thought.
@Sirikyuse Well, if you compare this to Wishmaster and Century Child, it's quite more mature. They actually used better compositions and usage of the choir. It reminds me of bands like Therion and Haggard. It's a deeper album than the past ones. This is my list: Imaginaerum Oceanborn DPP Once Wishmaster Century Child AFF, And I am a fan since AFF.
@mikewill9511 I admit that I should re-listen to this album since my little review was mostly based on first impressions (which apparently mean everything to people with tiny attention spans like myself). Imaginaerum is a decent album imo, but I'm a tad disappointed that I'll have to re-listen to each track (outside of the 2 I listen to regularly) in order to really start appreciating it. I guess this'll teach me to lower my expectations and go in with a more open mind.
