I AM A BIG NIGHTWISH FAN AND I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME REVIEWING THIS ALBUM. IT CONTAINS 2 OF MY FAVORITE TRACKS IN EVERDREAM AND BEAUTY OF THE BEAST. THE BIG TROUBLE IS THAT TRACKS 5-8 ARE UNLISTENABLE! THESE TRACKS SOUND NOTHING LIKE THEIR OTHER SONGS. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I LIKE ABOUT PREVIOUS ALBUMS IS THAT YOU CAN STICK THE CD IN AND LISTEN TO IT IN ITS ENTIRETY. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SOME NIGHTWISH FANS HATE THIS ALBUM AND OTHERS LOVE IT. I WISH THAT TARJA VOCALS WERE BETTER UTILLIZED THAN THEY ARE. SECONDLY, FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE BASHING NIGHTWISH, PLEASE DONT REVIEW THEIR WORKS IF YOU HATE THEIR STYLE. THEIR STYLE IS UNIQUE AND NOT FOR EVERYONE. THIRDLY, ONE OF THE REASONS I LIKE EURO METAL IS IT REMINDS ME OF 80'S HAIR BAND METAL BUT MUCH IMPROVED. AGAIN, IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS STYLE, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME LISTENING TO THIS TYPE OF MUSIC OR REVIEWING IT. PICK OUT AN AMERICAN METAL ARTIST WITH PROFANITY LACED LYRICS THAT IS MUCH HEAVIER AND LOUDER THAN EURO METAL AND REVIEW THEIR ALBUMS.
