Believe the Hype, only 2 words for this : Epic Masterpiece! ! ! ! September 9, 2008
Well you know when you read reviews off some album, and the reviews are raving about the album then you buy and when you listen you think "What's so great about it?", well this album lives up to that hype. Every song on this album is amazing and with vocalist Tarja and her amazing opera vocals it's just so much better and makes it more epic and beautiful and heavy at the same time. The guitarist is excellent playing some awesome heavy riffs, and brilliant solos. The drumming is great aswell. Best tracks for me are Dark Chest Of Wonders, Wish I Had An Angel, Nemo & Creek Mary's Blood.
If you're looking for an album that's heavy yet melodic with Opera vocals and has an epic feel to it? Then this is a great buy for you.
 Just behind Oceanborn -and the end of an era.. March 11, 2008

FANTASTIC ALBUM!!! Second only to Oceanborn and a genuine symphonic metal
masterpiece with a REAL orchestra - Tarja goes out on a high!
My favourite song has to be Ghost Love Score - now if you use You Tube Videos there is an awesome clip whereby a very cleverly edited montage of The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy from start to finish has been set to this amazing song. The quality is perfect and it looks like The Most Expensive Music Video Ever made. Nightwish with Tarja were made for this!
If you like this there are other similiar clips too, Dimmu Borgir/Troy, Metallica/Saving Private Ryan, Metallica/Star Wars, Motorhead/Mad Max,
Rammstein/Lord Of The Rings (specifically orcs,uruk hai,mordor) etc

Quite simply one of the most amazing albums ever recorded.
They entwine beauty with passionate aggression amidst a haunting backdrop of native american, eastern and sweeping gothic passages that would make andrew lloyd weber and danny elfman cower in fear.
The experimental style and ambitious texture that Nightwish encompass makes our resident MUSE look like the tweenies.
The riffs are simple but urgent and impressive.
Tarja sings like an angel and has the power to lift your emotions and drop you again with one note.
The lyrics are deep and poetic.

listening to this as I write, the other reviews pretty much cover this, but I just had to write, how can such class go un noticed. Maybe it's better to keep this from the mainstream dross. This is too good in it's whole. I will be getting more of their stuff, emmotional, epic, awesome beyond words, maybe just maybe better than Within Temptation. Just got into these guy's as well, it's close. Ahh what the hell I'll listen to that next and enjoy. Everyone who pretends to be a music fan should be made/ forced to listen to this... nuff said. Top class!!!!

this was without question the finest rock album of 2004, and i consider it to be among the greatest albums ever put together. it's a huge milestone in modern musical acheivement...full stop. it took metallica almost 20 years before they released an album (S & M) which could actually hold a candle to "ONCE".
The highlights of the album are:
Dark Chest of Wonders 10/10 (absolutely incredible song and the perfect start to any nightwish concert)
Wish I Had An Angel 9/10 (not as good as Dark Chest, but certainly a fabulous song and magically epic and catchy- a good choice for a single)
Nemo 10/10, i don't know many people who dont like this song, a stunning invention of romantic rock and a terrific addition to any rock album
Planet Hell 10/10, terribly brilliant in every way, the cellos at the beginning with the choir really hyping you up in a way u never thought they could and leading into my favourite duet of all time
Creek Mary's Blood 8/10, slow starting, but magical and enjoyable
The Siren 9/10, wonderful and a great guitar part.
Romanticide 10/10, fantastic and very heavy. Perfect for any heavy metal bar.
Ghost Love Score 10+/10, easily one of the top 5 songs ever written by modern person, this rates as one of my favourite songs of all time and any nightwish fan would agree its probably nightwish's best song. incredible, in a word.
Kuolema Tekee Taiteitijan 9/10, beauiful and poignant.
The other two songs i missed out, Dead Gardens and Higher Than Hope and still great songs, but do not compare to the rest of this wonderous album. Seriously, i dont think any rock fan will be disappointed with this album and if i could give it 6 stars, i would- as im sure the others would...
