Now, i'm not usually one to try to enforce others opinions musically, nor do i like to command "this is teh greeetest EVA!!!!" or anything, or pretend i know more than i do (well..often)
That being said, holy hell!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdZn7k5rZLQ So i was getting a bit sick of Nightwish TBH, i didnt find Tarja that spectacular as a vocalist, so when i heard she was booted from the band i was like "heh" and that was it. no further contact and i didnt mind.
but a few days back, i bounced across the above link to one of the tracks off the new album with vocalist Annette Orlizen (i think thats correct, lemme know if its wrong). and i was wowed!
definetly superior to Tarja IMO (and MO is top notch, if i do say so myself), quite worth the listen. also check out "bye bye beautiful" and "the islander" for other samples.
Thoughts?
