 So this is what all the fuss is about! January 2, 2009

Hmm.
I'm a bit old for this Gothy Pomp-Metal, surely? Not a bit of it! This is carefully and well crafted music. So Tarja doesn't sing on it? So what? Annette is more that adequate. I had only heard "Eva" prior to buying this, what I was missing!
This was my first Nightwish album, but it isn't my last.Dark Passion Play: Special Edition

What can I say. I brought Nightwish's Once album and have played it to death. With that in mind I gave this to myself for Christmas and it is more wonderful than I could imagine. Powerful, soaring, melodic, clever, complicated and so much more. Not since my first Marillion album back in 1986 have I been so impressed. The 'bonus' CD with just the music is the best thing since sliced bread. Please sir can I have have some more?
New Era... November 28, 2008

After Tarja's departure, this is a new Era for Nightwish.
Although a very different sound to Tarja's voice, new vocalist Annette Olsen does a very good job.
Less Operatic and not trying to impersonate Tarja at all is a good thing. (Don't get me wrong, I loved Tarja!)
Tuomas finally sounds like he's got where he wants to be musically, even if that's ment he's had to part ways with Tarja to get there. I think she was holding him back.
My only fear is that now Nightwish will blend into the 'Female Metal' scene too much, they use to stand out.
They had something different.
Loads of great tracks. Those that stand out are The Poet and the Pendulum, Cadence of Her Last Breath, Master Passion Greed, Sahara and 7 Days To The Wolves.
I don't like the slower tracks For The Heart I Once Had or Meadows of Heaven, but i've never been a fan of Nightwish's slower material.
Some of the tracks are obviously written about Tarja!
The artwork is brilliant, and if you decide that you don't like Annettes Vocal, the whole album is in instrumental on the 2nd disk!
 Really not for me... but it may be for you October 31, 2008

yup I've decided to write a review that everyone will just say is rubbish and will say wasn't helpful.
BUT while this album definitely was not for me, it is very likely most of Nightwish's old fans will like this.
The thing that I used to love about NW was the combination of heavy metal music and operatic vocals... but of course with the new vocalist they have taken this formula and thrown it out the window.
If you like Within Tempatation, you will probably love this album, it's very similar to their work only with more emphasis on the orchestra. I don't like within temptation... so I find this bland and unoriginal, more techniqucal than WT but I my opinion worse.
I only bought this due to my love of Marco, but if you want an album with his great vocals buy a Tarot album.
I'm off to buy Tarja's newest album now and hope that that still has operatic vocals on it ;)
In conclusion MOST NIGHTWISH FANS WILL LOVE THIS... but I just didn't, sadly I am no longer a fan... only a fan of the old band. And it is sad because the band brims with talent.
Oh F**K yeah September 17, 2008
Honest to God I have heard so many people bitch about this album because it just isn't Nightwish..........
If you dont like it, listen to something else. In My personall opinion Nightwish have got quite a lot heavier (probably due to Marco Hietala) and this I think makes them better. Some of the songs have a slightly poppy, filler, sort of feel but many of them are awesome
Bye Bye Beautiful, incredible display of Marco's singing power and how well he and Anette work together.
7 Days to the Wolves another great song
Master Passion Greed - granted a little heavy for many of nightwish's following but if you like metal...you'll love it
If I lost this album I would definately buy it again
PEACE
