| 3.0 good | Xenorazr | April 13th 15 |
This album reminds me of most videogames nowadays, post-patch. They're wonderfully detailed and boast incredible production, but it's lacking...as if engagement and stimulation were hardly of concern and slipped the crew's minds. There's fun to be had, but hardly enough to encourage frequent returns, much less in the long run.

Unfortunately, Nightwish as of late seem to confuse epicness with bloatedness. Endless Forms Most Beautiful tries very hard to be big and epic. It ends up always listenable, but hardly ever interesting. It treads familiar ground for the band, only it does so in an oft corny and overwrought manner akin to their last record. And the familiar pop melodies smattered across the record's 86-minute (!) runtime don't help those aforementioned senses of familiarity and boredom. On the plus side, Floor has a phenomenal voice, and she is a perfect fit for the band. Hopefully on the next album she is given more room to stretch her chops, and the band stretches their own more, too.

This album, I've waited for so long, I watched the videos the band released a description of the preparation of the album ...rFinally a big disappointment, a small number of good songs in a sea of boredom.

The ideas behind Endless Forms Most Beautiful are worthy, but the music itself, while more polished and cohesive than the band's latest efforts, is far less adventurous and passionate. Only the majestic 24-minute "The Greatest Show on Earth" lives up to the album's name.

A grower definitely but think they could have made better use of the vocal talents of Floor and Marco

Before I conclude to a 3, I want to be fair. I am a bit disappointed. This could have been rexcellent, if only. Floor's vocal abilities are known. Why doesn't she uses them? We have a rreally long disc here, 1h and 18m. If some songs were dismissed, this could have been much rtighter. Of course there are awsome parts, as the opener (much power metal stuff in this) rand the last two songs. On the one hand, the opus in the end is the highlight, on the other rhand, I can't stop thinking how much better it could have been, if some of the narrating was romitted. I find the animal sounds pretty cool, but this is just a shadow of the majestic rthing it COULD HAVE BEEN! Still, maybe it's a grower. Till another opinion surfaces...3.5.

i'm actually really liking this. their best since century child. glad the stupid theatrics from the last record are gone. really good symphonic metal, if a bit simplistic in structure.
