Ghost River and Scaretale are my favorites so far! I love it all of it! It's such a great album. I got it the first day it came out as well.

Falconer is really good.
These are the albums I recommend: Among Beggars and Thieves, Armond, Chapters from a Vale Forelorn, Flaconer, Northwind.

Ooh! I'll give them a listen I feel like I've come across them at some point, but i never listened to their music before!

Kaonashi-Nanashi In reply to Alavswn [2011-11-23 00:27:15 +0000 UTC]
Yep. Those ablums I mentioned have their original vocalist Mathias (forget his last name). And his voice is so beautiful. I would love it if he and Tarja one day sang a duet. I think their voices will completement each other nicely.

Holy crap!! I LOVE this band! I have honestly been looking for a band like this forever lol! sdfsdfsdgfsdgfsdsfsdf I love the beginning of Mindtraveller!

Kaonashi-Nanashi In reply to Alavswn [2011-11-23 00:32:49 +0000 UTC]
I LOVE MINDTRAVELLER!
Seriously! Doesn't his voice just screams to be married to Tarja's voice!? When I first heard them I was like "Damn... Tajra needs to sing with this guy."
I'm not big into power metal, in fact I don't like any other power metal bands but Falconer.

I honestly can't wait! I do have to admit though, when looking at all of Nightwish's albums, Imaginerum seems unrelated! However this is what Tuomas was looking for, a new direction for the band! I am excited to see where this direction takes them!

WOW no I never saw this!! Definitely an interesting sound coming from Nightwish, but I enjoyed all the songs!! I particularly fancied Turn Loose the Mermaids! I just love that sound, its almost like a medieval sounding song! I can't wait to hear all the songs in full

Kaonashi-Nanashi In reply to Alavswn [2011-11-03 21:50:13 +0000 UTC]
I totally agree. And I'm glad Toumas has found the new direction. I'll always love the days of Tarja, but it's time to start fresh. It is still Nightwish.
I can't understand why fans are so torn between Tarja and Anette. Don't they realize the band is still Nightwish? No matter who sings?

Alavswn In reply to Kaonashi-Nanashi [2011-11-04 21:20:43 +0000 UTC]
I agree totally! I remember when it first happened I almost wanted to stop supporting NW out of spite, but as time goes by you realize that they are still the great band they used to be! As far as singer preference I obviously feel that with Tarja the band was even better, but that does not mean that I think they aren't as good anymore!

Kaonashi-Nanashi In reply to Alavswn [2011-11-04 21:38:37 +0000 UTC]
I found them right when they changed, so I have no REAL favorite. I love both singers pretty much equally, but I do favor Tarja just a bit more, because the first song I ever heard by them is Nemo and I just totally feel in love with them
Tarja really did compliment the band in a lovely way but this new direction with Anette.... KYAAA! I just can't wait until Imagainarium comes out.

I can't wait either! I am so excited to see the movie too, I never in my life thought Nightwish would make a movie!! Its going to be epic!

You know... I don't think Nightwish ever disappointed in an album. Ever.
I love them all.

i do too!! I love the older stuff like AFF and Oceanborn the most, they make me so nostalgic! I wish i was older back then and lived in finland haha

Kaonashi-Nanashi In reply to Alavswn [2011-11-08 03:16:39 +0000 UTC]
Me too. ^^
Oceanborn is special. Like special and magical... has to be one of my favorite from their old days.

Alavswn In reply to Kaonashi-Nanashi [2011-11-18 10:16:05 +0000 UTC]
Hehe most definitely! I love Wishmaster too, Tuomas said himself its like an extension of Oceanborn so its probably no secret why I enjoy it as much ^^

Kaonashi-Nanashi In reply to Alavswn [2011-11-18 23:51:59 +0000 UTC]
Oceanborn is one of my favorites. Once is special to me... but Dark Passion Play is my very very special one because it was the first Nightwish album I bought.

Hehe my first was Wishmaster!! My cousin listened to Nightwish before I did, and she was always listening to Oceanborn! At first I didn't think much of them, but as my musical taste developed I started to like them more and more and got Wishmaster when it came out! I have been a fan ever since!
