I'm currently addicted to Nightwish's new album 'Imaginaerum'. I can't stop listening to it.
God, I do love this band.
I thought it was all over when Tarja with her glorious operatic voice was kicked out but they proved me wrong with their last album, the awesome 'Dark Passion Play'. New singer Anette Olzon's gorgeous voice was different to Tarja's but just as good. And it's the same again with this new album. Anette sounds fantastic and as ever the songwriting remains top notch, blending rock, metal, orchestral, jazz, blues, celtic, folk in to sumptuous, hummable, toe tapping musical extravaganzas. Every song on 'Imaginaaerum' is great but 'I Want My Tears Back' is pure infectious genius. Oh how I adore. And to make things even better Tarja is still making great music on her own. Both her solo albums have been excellent. I actually think it all turned out for the best.
Anyway, must dash. Gotta press replay on the CD player.
