Actually, I like this a bit more than old NW. A big surprise, because I was not fond of Xandria originally, but this singer is so clear and great. The guitars and bass seem enunciated too.

@ezurcher1976 As someone taking a second semester of QM, I can say that's not it. QM is about applying mathematical understanding to small physical systems, like the hydrogen atom. We can learn effectively everything about a system from a set of equations or an approximation.

ScarSym w Christian...

Damn, growls sounds alright, but the clean vocals... Sigh. It's just a difficult vocal style, and Christian had this beautiful irreplacable voice, not unlike Roy Khan in that aspect. But c'mon, sing the notes more instead of shouting. Sing with a piano. It's difficult, but please try...

Meanwhil...

@AndyB1286 Mmm, I also love Nightwish, old and new (though I only got interested with their recent stuff with Annette). But none of us can judge Tarja or Toumas because we don't know what happened between them. All we know is Toumas decided to publicly sack and humiliate her. I think that reflect...

Just one more month. It can't get here soon enough! (I also wish Epica would publish the official lyrics to Storm the Sorrow, the online lyrics aren't accurate!)

@DuhEnlightenedOne Really? Thought it was a reference to him talking about "I can be the walrus. Doesn't change the fact that I don't have a car."

@SunburnedVamp And this is why I have to bite my tongue when I start singing it... I can get away with every other song. But I break out laughing by "sqquuuEEEEAALLing PIGS!" anyways.

Much love for this album.

Ah, Borderline Personality Disorder.

"It must be inordinately taxing to be such a boob."

Have used this line so many times.

I never saw this one, but this is probably the personally most frightening Animaniacs I have watched... With the social services people and all.

Y'know, you can like Tarja and Anette and appreciate the gap in their abilities too. I think Tarja is more gifted and better, but I personally like Anette's voice combined with the music more (partially because the combination with the newer compositions is more unique to me.) Toumas is a genius ...

0:10 I have used that line so often. XD

@Vinomadd I do quote: "Now if we could just get nerdy white guy and nerdy asian guy we'll have a real bullshit stew." The key term that you imply is offensive is "nerdy", because the multiple "nerds" talking implies bullshit. So if you didn't intend that, it was a poor word choice on your part a...

"God just *slaps* did it!"

"Ah but who did God?"

Oh Dawkins, that was so awesome. :) Much love for the Colbert Report.

"I do not accept the status quo! But I do accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express!"

Reminds me of all the candidates this year. All of them. :)

Hey, I'm a democrat, but I'm watching this because any political gaffes make me giggle. Particularly the wheelchair one. XD Biden's such a gaffe machine. Don't support him really considering he was behind much of the legislation that allows debt collectors to stalk college students. But damn he c...

Awwwww... That is so adorable!

@LoriKarter Think they've gotten tired of performing this song the same damn way every time. It is very repetitive. So, the dance beat (with the organ) is a joke. Simone gets the giggles sometimes while singing it.

Good guide.

Question: How do you deal with exhaustion? I've often sung Epica and Nightwish songs, but have felt pretty damned exhausted afterwards and slightly euphoric. It doesn't hurt (though sometimes if I go too high my voice gets scratchy.)

I think many of you are ignoring the context. There is a cat in an abandoned burned down building with shadows, reminiscent of the remnants of World War II in particular. The cat is tied to the memories of happier times, but it isn't there - it passed away long ago, when the building was bombed. ...

@TheJesterGodlike Whelp 4:35 was awkward to watch at a government facility.

@oohyah7 Amen, man.

Scar Sym is so awesome.

@xShiverRainx Tarja and Annette are awesome. They are both nice and have shown excellent character. Hating Annette is unfounded. Toumas is a genius composer and instrumentalist. In another age he would be famous. But he has not shown good character. He could have separated with Tarja with a simpl...

0:27 Love that "Yeah."

Still love this. I don't care that he was killing his voice. I love it.

I feel like there are too many death metal elements in Epica to call it Gothic metal. Many other Gothic metal bands are waaaay softer. Epica is more with Nightwish, which is symphonic metal.

I know Mark isn't the best growler, but he's my favorite because he was the first one I listened to and a...

@izmanq They're scientists, dimwit. :)

@larosablanca100 "Sedition comes in small packages, Mr. Allen", eh?

B5 cut to the very core of what happens in corrupt regimes. Doesn't matter if it's corporations or Shadows.

Oh my, it's like he's describing Penn State... :o

;A; Roy, your voice... Those vocal exercises unfortunately showed his sustaining of middle range notes is damaged.

I still am addicted to whenever he growls though. And those inspiring little speeches.

I'm a Gen-Y. I found this piece on my own when my sib sent me a collection of APP. I'd never heard this one before, but I really adore it.

There is so much undiscovered, missed music. I am a fan of APP, Kamelot (symphonic power metal), Dimmu Borger (black metal), TSO (rock), Satriani, Enya, Secr...

It's funny how encampments of people protesting corporate greed are condemned as a health hazard but encampments of people hanging outside shopping malls at 12am for Black Friday sales aren't. And yet the latter had more violent incidents.

@FleurdeRoz Oi. You say that Marco should try something more "appropriately metal" and "original"? Okay, lets examine those two statements... oh my, they seem contradictory. Marco isn't destroying the song, it's just a variation.

Now, this song is odd. I adore the melody and metal backing, but ...

I'm so confused: Ave Maria, a well-known opera piece? This is Prelude in C Major by Bach rearranged with violin and making some parts minor when they aren't. :s

Augh, damn it Yuki Kajiura, you pulled my heartstrings and make me think of this scene even though I only read the manga adaptation and working on homework! Why u so good?

I enjoyed this series because it made me think. I thought "what's this silly manga I keep seeing referenced memetically, I'l...

@theplayboy2127 Mathematics doesn't have "laws". You can define different algebras on different spaces. You are only referring to one space - integers - and thus your argument doesn't generalize. Do your research before you challenge me on math, young grasshopper. ;)

Al Qaeda admitted it. What f...
