Rating:
7.5 		All eyes have been on Nightwish over the last three years following the huge commercial success of previous album "Once" and of course also the dramatic letting go of previous vocal powerhouse Tarja. Now more than ever Tuomas and company have immense pressure placed upon them to deliver the goods with the sixth full length edition to the Nightwish catalogue.

Rating: 10 Perfect !

  LMAO! This is far from perfect. Loads of commercial crap (Amaranth, Bye Bye Beautiful) and perhaps the most boring song they've ever made (Eva) on this one. OTOH, it also contains their best and heaviest songs to date, including PATP and Master Passion Greed. It's like Once and CC in almost every way, there's more filler, but the awesome tracks are even more awesome than Ghost Love Score and The Beauty Of The Beast. Marco singing on almost every track is also great.

This album is nothing like once and CC in my opinion, but i do think the quality of musicianship here is just as good. But that's just me:P

Rating: 8 Good album,with the exception that a few tracks seem really weak in contrast to the rest of the album.
