The fact Wayfarer is only a bonus track is a tragedy

I see this has grown on you from your review's 3.5 Poet, what changed? ;)

I've read you hate everything after Slaying the Dreamer (which is among my less favorites here), but Ocean Soul is lovely in my opinion, loving Tarja's melodies on the chorus.

Haven't got to the end of the album just yet, currently on Phantom of the Opera.

The closer on this is absolutely huge, one of those rate 10/10s that I'll jam like once every year and a half and be nostalgically utterly floored by each time, so have fun lol

Spoti has the bonus tracks too, Wayfarer was pretty awsm.

Your mom was only trying to get you on the right track Purp, it was her plan all along.

Maybe I'll check an album. I hated what I checked then. not a power metal guy myself, but I might take another look. What do you recommend?

If you didn't dig it back then probably you won't enjoy them now, but I'd recommend you watch these couple of vids:

"Wishmaster" with first (and for many irreplaceable) singer Tarja.

"Ever Dream" (from this album) with "new" and actual singer Floor Jensen on Wacken 2013 (The whole show was nuts, it was her first show with the band and she floored (hehe) everyone)

I actually never reviewed this one and I'm pretty sure I've always had this at a 4! And the only two songs I don't like are Forever Yours and Ocean Soul. Everything after Slaying the Dreamer is great besides that. The album version of Phantom of the Opera is okay, but is vastly inferior to the End of an Era performance. Beauty of the Beast is probably tied with Poet and the Pendulum for the band's best "long" song too.

Ocean Soul and Forever Yours are both very lovely tracks, I've been listening to this album a lot more over the past couple years and it's really good

Agreed that Forever Yours/Ocean Soul are the weak links tbh, both feel strongly autopilot compared to everything else here. Phantom of the Opera would be the next weakest, but tbh who's gonna say no to that cover from this band

I've never really been a huge fan of Marco's voice, but it's certainly better than Tuomas'
