Hey metalheads,

Ok, so now it's official! Got the Special Edition Cd (with bonus instrumental cd  ) yesterday. I'm still in awe! The best record i've ever listen to! Plus, two dates in Portugal for April 2008. 2 much for one day. Tks Tuomas...

The best record you've ever listened to, huh?  That's very high praise.  :-)  I'll have to check them out.

I'll be picking up my copy at Progpower USA in less than a week now. I can't wait. In the meanwhile...check out the latest video for the new single 'Bye Bye Beautiful'. The song seems to be a shot at Tarja. But still is a pretty good tune. I look forward to checking out the rest of the album.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obDUEzarecM&mode=related&search=.

Hey Guys,

What can i say? I sure do not remember every record i've ever listened to but... A true case of love at first sound! This baby opens with "The Poet and the Pendulum". You'll know what i mean when you listen to it Kailef, u gotta love it. Awesome! 

And yes Fabio, "Bye Bye" is a shot at Tarja ("did we came this far just to feel your hate/did we play just to become pawns in the game/how blind can you be, can't you see/you choose the long road but we'll be waiting/Bye Bye Beautiful). Tuomas himself has already said that it was for Tarja. But how saaaawwweeeet revenge. Great song.

Please notice, no comparisons here. Would still be the very best Nightwish if Tarja was singing. I'll keep my opinion to myself for now (not that you guys care anyway  ). Well, get it and let me know what you think.

And by the way Fabio, tell Kako "Unia" sucks  How i envey you mate. Have a great time at Prog!

It's going to be awesome!!! If i talk to Kakko.......i'll tell him to keep up the great work. I'll also tell him how much i LOVE "Unia".

Good tune... I like it.  Toumas is a genius by any standard... but I cannot help but miss Tarja.

[Sun_dance]

Tarja will always be a great singer. But don't miss her. Tuomas is Nightwish, always was, always will be. By the way, got the chance to listen to some of Tarja's new material for a metal album... sry guys, but it sucks. She sings very well though.

A little late on my response here i realize but I just wanted to put in my two cents here. This album is pretty amazing and has the best written songs in Nightwish history..my opinion of course. The vocalist is ok although I like Tarja a little bit better the new one does a fine job. "Poet and the Pendulum" is their best song ever written by far. Amazing album
