Dark Passion Play - Discussion

Write what do you think about new NW album ?

P.S. Do not use rude comments

I think it was rather overrated and mainstream. I found Anette's vocal performance to not be so great. The cd came off as pop-metal to me.

For me it's the same Nightwish just with different vocals!
I think that Maestro Tuomas and his beautiful lyrics made this awesome band!

It was a direct follow on from Once in my eyes. Except it seemed more 'put together'. I didn't really care for Once, but DPP had more energy, more passion. It was vibre and powerful. Emotions all over the place. My 2nd favourite album.

Yeah! It's the BEST their album I have ever heard!
Anette sings FANTASTIC ! My mum loves the new album and she and my aunt are going on concert with me !
I grow up in metal family

Same here. My mother wanted Nightwish CDs for her 50th Bday.
When she first heard DPP she instantly recognised it as NW, but thought Anette was the original singer. Now I think she prefers Tarja, and always plays Wishmaster in the car.

My family hate metal, I've always been know as the 'different' kid. Smart, no mental problems and a metal loving goth.

Anyways I'm not over-keen on DPP.

My all family loves metal .Even my aunt is latino soul she loves DPP , and especially Tuomas

I love this platter.
Maestro Tuomas has made a great job!

Love it!
It's my second favourite album ( first is Oceanborn) I think it's a great piece, TPATP is one of best NW song by far IMO, also Sahara and Master Passion Greed I think Anette's vocals suit the music really well! ^^

I love Dark Passion Play. It is a real mixture of emotions from Tuomas. The anger of Master Passion Greed and Bye Bye Beautiful and then theres Amaranth that has so much hope The Poet And The Pendulum is just epic and perfect and Cadence Of Her Last Breath is the most personal song for me and the NW song I relate to most.

The music and lyrics grew as they do on every album and Anette brought alot of passion to the album

My 3rd favorite NW album
I dont find it 100% similar to Once,I actually think that each aklbum has a diffrent style+I absolutely love Anette`s voice! TPATP will alwys be one of my fave NW songs

My second favourite album. It's really great.

Fantastic album!!!

My second now.Even though itf might me more mainstream than the others i totally love the variety on this album,and the "celtic"touch in some songs.And Anette sounds gorgeus

Which one do YOU choose??

I choose The Poet And The Pendulum. And it's the best NW song (for me). Pure masterpiece

The Poet And The Pendulum.Masterpiece.5 songs glued perfectly .And I'll never forget the red ribbon I still have it

I also love Sahara,it's such an unique song,and The Escapist has such wonderful lyrics

Yup. On the part when lights are turning down...and BOOM with those ribbons...
I WANNA GO BACK!!!!!!!! :cryy:

Anette sat down on the stage when she sang "Mother and Father".I cried

i was stuck between the islander and meadows, but in the end i chose the meadows. ;p

Ena why did you leave Last of the Wilds out?
That would have been my favourite.. well then i must choose The Escapist

It's instrumental one. I wanted to see which song with lyrics is best for you;)

Oh but it's still one of the songs, important part of the perfect combination

The Poet And The Pendulum

TPATP one of only Anette songs I like.
