The beginning of this album is good: "Elvenpath" is very beautiful track and it has good keyboards. "Beauty and the Beast" is a good and romantic duetto (Tarja sings with a man). The Carpenter tells about Jesus (a duetto again). Astral Romance is pretty good one and happy too. Angels Fall First is a ballad but no so wonderful. Tarja sings too high this one. Tutankhamen is good and happy, a little bit heavier. Nymphomaniac Fantasia has been failed because of too long solos. "Know Why the Nightingale Sings" is a happy and insteresting song. It is the best track in this album. The last tracks, Lappi (Lapland), are very difficult to understand. There is strange drum solos and other stuff.
