I just posted in there since we all know that I think Tarja wasn't good for the band anyway... i.e. she ruined music that was just barely passable to begin with.

Album Rating: 3.0

Definitely not. Maybe because I dig operatic singing is why i love her voice so much. But even on the albums she doesn't do it, she is still much more a greater singer than Annete. That Finnish accent is sexy as hell.

Someone oughtta build a fusion chamber and fuse Annette with Tarja.

Now I'd buy THAT for a dollar

From an interview with the Meshuggah guitarist:



It's like NIGHTWISH, they're from Finland; to call that metal is a fucking insult. It's probably good music, but it's not fucking metal. No way. I told Markus, on our label Nuclear Blast (because they're on it), "I know you're making a shitload of money, but you're making fools of yourself." He's like "I know". He's like that...It's not the melodic parts that are the problem. I love a lot of melodic stuff. If you listen to MR. BUNGLE, it's melodic all the way through, but it's great shit. I just want some thrill and excitement, something that makes me go, "Oh, these guys have an original idea."

It's a decent enough record. There are some real winner songs there, but a few too many bad ones. Considering the extensive lenght of the album, they could have cut a few of the songs and make it more of a solid whole.



About that Meshuggah quoet: I wonder who authorized this man to decide what is metal and what is not. Wheter he likes the music or not (although he almost says he kinda does) it doesn't effect it's genre.

Sounds like the Meshuggah guitarist has some misconceptions about his own genre. And a superiority complex that demands he trash bands that are better than his.

Who cares whether Nightwish are metal or not, they suck either way.

Well, to you maybe.

Finnish metal is overrated anyways. Too many medicore doom and funeral doom bands tbh.

It's the power metal that bothers me. So many bands doing their best imitation of Blind Guardian, who weren't that great to begin with. I only really like the symphonic variety, like Nightwish and Kamelot.

finnish metal may be overrated a bit, but there are still a shitload of amazing metal bands in Finland. NOTINTHEFACE is right about the power metal though

Just remembered Ikuinen Kaamos. Finland seriously needs to kick up the black metal. They don't really have anybody great from what i've heard except TotalSelfHatred who plays depressive black/doom.

Ikuinen Kaamos is pretty good. Certainly above par for that scene...
