Is this album , a good place to start exploring the music of this band?

Album Rating: 4.0

Depends. If you want overly bombastic symphonic stuff then definitely no. If you what operatic power metal then maybe. I still prefer Wishmaster over this though.

this album is the epitome of magic ,emotion and techinique in power metal , If you have a semi decent IQ ,YOU ARE GOING TO AGREE WITH ME

every song here is pure poetry ,and the best are :devil and deep dark ocean and the paraoh sails to orion ,ajjajaja

lol

My favorite Nighwish album. Important music from the past, and still very listenable (unlike the newest stuff).

power metal+ female opertic vocalist = heaven

Album rules ,and is sweet as a swiss chocolate

possdata = The music used in bayonetta has some similarites with the keyboard parts in the paraoh sails to orion

"Important music from the past"

ok

nahh i like this way more than the other two, probably because this is more power than symphonic and ill always have a soft spot for power metal

Album Rating: 5.0

haven't actually heard this OR Century Child nearly as much as Once, to be honest. I just prefer the atmosphere they captured on Once to some of their other songs.



Dark Passion Play was decent too - gets too much hate

tarja was hotter with short hair
