| Album: Wishmaster Artist(Band): Nightwish Date: 07/18/2000 Review The Album (1)
Reviews about Wishmaster An excellent followup to Oceanborn! | Reviewer: TheMetalHeadReviewer | 8/29/09 Nightwish is a band that needs no introduction. Their sound is unique with the impressive and stylistic vocals of Tarja Turunen. Wishmaster is probably their last pure power metal album as their newer stuff is more symphonic instead. But the fantasy lyrics, killer keyboarding, and quick paced songs will please any power metal fan. A rundown of the songs: 1. She is my Sin: In my opinion, the second best opener(next to Stargazers) of a Nightwish album. Great lyrics, great music, the works. (9.5/10) 2. The Kinslayer: Excellent symphonic power metal track about The Columbine High shootings. Dark, fast, and kickass. (9.5/10) 3. Come Cover Me: A love song. Not as good as the first two songs, but worthy of a listen. (8.5/10) 4. Wanderlust: Awesome keyboard/guitar opening lead that really brings out the talent in Nightwish. Awesome power metal song. (9.7/10) 5. Two For Tragedy: A slower song, but has a nice melody and works with Tarja's vocals on this one. Not the best but still good.(8.0/10) 6. Wishmaster: The title track and best song on the album. Just listen to it and you will know why! (10/10) 7. Bare Grace Misery: Much weaker than Wishmaster, but still holds it's own with a more "goth" metal feel to it. (8.5/10) 8. Crownless: The fastest and most uplifting song on the album. Some of the best guitar and keyboard work Nightwish ever put out. (9.8/10) 9. Deep Silent Complete: This song is one of the weaker songs on the album. Tarja really shines here, but the song is rather bland and it doesn't carry as well as the previous tracks. (6.7/10) 10. Dead Boy's Poem: Another ballad, but much darker than anything Tuomas ever wrote before. The lyrics are great and the melodies are amazing. (9.3/10) 11. Fantasmic: A power metal epic dedicated to Walt Disney himself. A nice track with three sections in it along with plenty of awesome power metal features. (9.6/10) 12. Sleepwalker (bonus track): A rather mediocre song for Nightwish that doesn't carry itself far. It's a bonus track, but would have been the worst on this album. (4.8/10) This is Nightwish's second best album to date (Oceanborn being number one). Pick this one up and you will not regret it! Pros: Excellent and consistant guitar work, keyboards and drumming; many masterpieces here; Tarja's vocals are top notch. Cons: Deep Silent Complete and Sleepwalker. Wishmaster rating: (9.5/10) Review The Album Wishmaster | |
