If they aren't you're style, fine, but I think their early work really showed that they are a talented group of musicians. Once, however, just does NOT do them justice. They sold out, that's it. Btw, all the pictures that were posted saying how "horrible" Tarja looks are from the Once era. Try going back a few years, she doesn't look like a made-up freak back then :roll:. And I never thought Tarja was particularly good looking either, but in all fairness, the recent pictures of the entire band are rather They, Tarja especially, all look rather overproduced sorta like how "Once" sounds.
Anyway, as Iron Duchess said, earlier pictures of Tarja are much more impressive. She doesn't have the makeup caked on and she smiles a lot. And she also gave me a raging chubby in the mosh pit. Oceanborn Nightwish's best IMO and Wishmaster are both very good power metal albums, the latter being a little less keyboard heavy. I really like both of them, and I like Tarja's vocals best on these records. I really like his slightly crazy vocals, and he imposes himself far better as a bass player than Sami Vanska, but I don't like the last two records as much, mainly because they moved away from the power metal sound.
Century Child has good songs, but is possibly the band's weakest release. Once I like, but on occasion the orchestra feels overbearing. I also dislike the fact that Tarja doesn't sing operatically anymore, but it does make the songs easier to tell apart. Overall, i like all of Nightwish's albums, but I prefer their old style. I don't think so According to Tuomas, and I agree, they are pretty much just melodic metal.
Second of all, I'd just like to bring up the point made by Tyrion about "Once" being overproduced. I think that is entirely true. The composition is far more intelligent, with a far wider range while Once was pretty damned repeatitive if you ask me. Even Ghost Love Score that so many people believed to be the best of all Nightwish songs was grossly repeatitive.
You can tell that Tuomas just wanted to pull off a longer Fantasmic, or Beauty of the Beast both which are superior to Ghost Love Score, imo. Tuomas just is not writing music that really brings out the abilities of the musicians in the band.
She started to get throat infections regularly, which she had never had before. Her breath became short. She found it difficult to climb stairs. But it was obvious something was wrong. I looked like shit and I felt like shit. This was, she says, the only time in her life that she came close to quitting music.
But I was just too stubborn to give it up. Instead, she eased back her workload with ReVamp and began teaching a little bit here and there. Slowly, she started to feel better. Her old confidence returned. She prepared to relaunch the next stage of ReVamp. The first time Floor stepped onstage with Nightwish was at the Showbox in Seattle, on October 1, She knew Tuomas and Nightwish after touring with them a decade earlier in After Forever.
She was familiar with their music, too. Well, maybe. She arrived to find the band in full- on firefighting mode. Their priority was simply to finish the tour; there was no question of this being an audition for the role of frontwoman. I thought it was cool that they called me out of all the people in the world it could have been.
The offer to join Nightwish full time came 10 months later. The conversation happened in a hotel bar after an appearance at a festival in the Finnish city of Tampere. So I had to pretend we had just talked about the setlist for the next show or something. She dismisses the suggestion that joining Nightwish was her last roll of the dice.
She notes that she received an email from Anette Olzon when the announcement was made public. That was cool. At the end of , the pair teamed up again for a version of Spanish-language Xmas song Feliz Navidad. She points out that the two of them always got on, even after Tarja was fired from the band in Do they avoid talking about certain subjects whenever they meet?
What she and the guys had, and what happened, is between them, and not with me. I have nothing against the bands. I'm happy for them. If they're doing well and if that's what they want to do then fucking, "Hey, good for you.
You got two guys with distorted guitars and then you got two chicks singing and three keyboards and then they play "lalalala. It's not like I'm saying it can't be melodic. CYNIC is very melodic and still fucking awesome. There are a lot of bands that people appreciate a lot over here, like I said I'm happy for their success, but I do not care for their music at all. It's formula music. It's built the same way that pop music is.
It's performed the same way pop music is with back tracks and everything. They're like, "Oh, we're so fucking bad-ass and we look so hard. That's a great benefit. It might be music that I hate, but they can still pull it off, which is alright.
Having said that, there are a shitload of Swedish bands that I adore.
