There seems to be no limits in Tuomas Holopainen's musical imagination. The first single of their new "Once" album, Nemo, is classic Nightwish - about a perfect rock song with all the power and beauty one can wish for. Fortunately, this in only beginning... The album is just as good, about as good as melodic hard rock/metal/music gets. If you liked "Nemo", be sure to buy "Once" as soon as you can. There are very few rock bands in the world who can rival Nightwish these days. It's beyond metal, gothic rock, or any genre. They do whatever they wish to, from acoustic indian ballads or Finnish folk tunes to deepest, toughest metal to rock your mind. And it works - shivers one's spine...
