Good CD

(5 out of 5 stars)

"1. Dark Chest Of Wonders: A good heavy start this also shows how good Emppu is as a guiter player. 10/10



2. Wish I Had An Angel: Very different for Nightwish. 10/10

3. Nemo: Ok this was there single it is good but not great 5/10



4. Planet Hell: This does not open with Nightwish first. Which is a change but when you hear it it will blow you away. 9'10



5. Creek Mary's Blood: A very good song the way it is put together sounds like it is from a movie. 10/10



6. Siren: There bass player sings here more then Tarja. Again very different for this band. 10/10



7. Dead Gardens: This is the start of two heavy songs. If you don't like songs where the guiter and drums are in your face then pass over this one. 10/10



8. Romanticide: Again like the last song if you don't like in your face guiter playing and drumers then pass over it. 10/10

9. Ghost Love Score: Again like song number 5 this sounds like it can be in a movie. 10/10



10. Kuolema Tekee Taitcilijan: Very good song. The rest of Nightwish is not here it is just Tarja. 9/10



11. Higher Than Hope: A great end to the album 10/10



12. White Night Fantasy: Well this is not on the CD I got it is on one of the three singles. This is not very Nightwish. It is different and not every one will like it. 6/10"

Very good use of any Orchestra

"Now people know why the Orchestra used here won any Ocser for best Score in a movie. :)



Ok know on to the CD it's self.



1. Dark Chest of Wonders: Nightwish always starts off with a heavy song. That has never changed. I found this to be a very good song. I love how the guiter is used right from the get go. I also like how choir is used. 10/10



2. Wish I Had An Angel: This is very different for Nightwish. I don't really know what you would call. It's metal but I don't really know what kind of metal. This is also the first of four songs that Marco sings in. 10/10



3. Nemo: This was there first single. It's a good song and makes good use of the orchestra. I like it but it's not there best song. It's not as heavy, but it's also not that slow. 8/10



4. Planet Hell: This song starts not with guitersor drums or any other member of Nightwish. It starts with the choir and the orchestra. Marco starts singing here and then Tarja starts in. Great heavy song. Far more heavy then Wish I Had An Angel. 10/10



5. Creek Mary's Blood: I like this song. Nightwish got John Two-Hawks to preform with them for this one. This is also the first song where the orchestra really seem like they were in the same place at the same time. 10/10



6. The Siren: Tarja singings a few lines here. The rest is Marco singing and the band and the orchestra singing. 10/10



7. Dead Gardens: The first of two heavy songs in a row. It is very good. The last minute has some very heavy riffs. It's a great song. 10/10



8. Romanticide: Best heavy song that Nightwish has every done. Marco has a really great part at the end of the song. This is for metal fans. If you don't like heavy songs like this then pass over it. 10/10



9. Ghost Love Score: This song uses Nightwish, the orchestra, and the choir. It is very long and would fit great into a movie. 10/10



10. Kuolema Tekee Taiteitijan: This is song in finnish. So it's hard to know what they are saying. The orchestra is just used here. 7/10



11. Higher Than Hope: This song is for a fan of theres that they knew very well. He dead so this song is for him. It is a great song. 10/10



12. White Night Fantasy: This song is odd. It is Nightwish playing. But it does not sound like a Nightwish song. I just have to hear it for your self. 7/10"
