Rate My Winter Storm

What do you rate Tarjas' MWS?

4/5 because I think that it is really good but not quite perfect enough for a 5, there were some weaker songs on it

3/5 for me It was a let down and only had a few good songs on it, the vocal performances made the lyrics sound better than they really were, as the lyrics were awful. If I had my own way I'd sack Tarjas' lyricist.

3/5

5/5

Perfect!

4/5


Some songs were good and had a good sound to them. I found the song Calling Grace to my disliking. And i also enjoy to my suprise Tarja's cover of Alice Cooper's Posion to me liking. The lyrics through is what I had problems with. At times it seen like a giant gap was missing from them. One moment she is saying something nad the next it saying something totally differant.

I thought MWS was very generic and uninteresting. However it does show potential especially with regards to Tarja own skills as a writer/composer. Oasis is a haunting track, Mrs Turunen mustn't underestimate her own abilities, some of the 'professional' writers created songs that were absolute rubbish. And the Poison cover was beyond dire. 2/5

4/5 because it was a great album but she can even better! go tarja go!

4/5. Actually I expected less. The album is very good, very atmospheric, but she could do SOOO much better. She's proven her writing skills with Oasis (one of the best tracks), so my expectations for the next album are high.

5/5 it is a masterpiece, I love every single song on it, my favourite is Damned And Divine I just love her voice, her style and the artwork too *is having a fangirl moment* lol

The scores overtook much of the album.

i have to say that the artwork for the cd was excellent

I say: I voted 3/5 but Tarja performance was 5/5

5/5

yes, I don't like the lyrics

3/5. It's a good album I just wish there was more of Tarja in it. Hopefully her next album will more written more by her so we get more of a feeling of who she is as a solo artist.

I love all the songs and her vocals are great it's just missing personality.

3/5

Tarja`s performance was amaizing but I find the lyrics and the songs boring.I think she can do better!

5/5

3/5
Tarja sounded absolutely great on it but the lyricist was crap.

Nightwish will have future , and Tarja too =)
I am sure that her new album will be great. She has a great voice.

Yes it will be ....but why are nightwish going to do more bad to themselfs ....if they change netti ...it will be better !!!

4/5 - It's a good album, though a very mixed bag in terms of quality. There are some songs that are fantastic (Oasis, Our Great Divide, The Reign) whilst others are just downright crap (Die Alive and the cover of Poison - Christ, my ears were bleeding first time I heard it >.>).
I hope that What Lies Beneath will be a big improvement, because if it's not, I can safely say that Tarja is nothing without Nightwish.
