The idea of Nightwish was "born" in July 1996 at midnight when Tuomas was spending a night with his friends around a campfire. The first three songs, which were acoustic mood music, were recorded between October and December 1996. At that time, the band had three members: Tuomas, Tarja and Emppu. The band wanted to see what the music would sound like if drums were added (Jukka joined the band). Also at this time, the acoustic guitar was replaced with an electric. After a couple of weeks of training, the band went to the studio this was in April 1997. At that time seven songs were recorded. These songs can be found on the limited edition of the album Angels Fall First. In May 1997, Nightwish signed a recording contract with Spinefarm for two records. That More... (Submit New Nightwish Lyrics) (Submit New Nightwish Lyrics) Review about Nightwish Calm Down | Reviewer: Chrissiecat ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish The song is beautiful in its own way And stop hating on Annette. If it wasnt for her stepping up after Tarja, There would be no band yeah? and your prejudice against her would deprive the people who couldnt care less. Besides from what I understand, Tarja was being a bitch. You werent there so you have no right to say who is right. Maybe they were right to kick her out did you ever think of that? BTW, to the guy who said Tarja's vocals are superior, The styles of voice are quite different. So dont compare them. Personally, sometimes Tarja puts me to sleep. inside my mind... | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song Phantom Of The Opera performed by Nightwish I guess you could say that I'm obsessed with The Phantom Of The Opera. The movie is so amazing...amazing doesn't even begin to describe it. Anyway, this is the song that got me into Nightwish, and they're now one of my favorite bands. Too bad you can't find their CD's in America. :( P.S. If you really want to understand this song, or any of the songs from the musical, you need to read the book The Phantom Of The Opera by Gaston Leroux. 7 days to the wolves | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song 7 Days To The Wolves performed by Nightwish This song is based on the book Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. Wolves of the Calla is the 5th book in the Dark Tower series. If you are going to read this book because of the Nightwish song, you have to start with book 1 in the series, otherwise book 5 won't make any sense. Haven't heard the song yet, but I like the lyrics. amaranth | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song Amaranth performed by Nightwish I just listened to a clip from this on Amazon.com! I'm now definitely a Nightwish fan! Nightwish is imposable to find in America. I had my hands on Dark Passion Play, and for some reason didn't buy it. (What was I thinking?) Let it go people! | Reviewer: Raven ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Seriously, I am really tired of people going on about what happened to Tarja. Let.It.Go! There is nothing you, or anyone else can do about it! I don't even connect this song to Tarja anyway. It doesn't have to be about her if you think about it. It could be about anyone really. I love this song, and Annette does a great job singing, so stop flaming her! hmmm.... | Reviewer: Mel287 ------ About artist/band Nightwish I have to say this:i think xeon256 is completely right.I also have to say this to all those people who keep blaming Annette for the sacking of Tarja:You are wrong.Whatever reasons she was fired for are completely separate from Annette.Yes,Annette is no Tarja,but don't you think that NW would rather hire someone who sounded completely different from Tarja-to get away from that era?I do,however,think it is great that Marco's vocal talents are getting the attention they deserve.While i agree that Tarja's voice is brilliant,and i prefer her's over Annette's,NW with any line-up is still great! good song | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song The Phantom Of The Opera performed by Nightwish I'm currently listening to the version from the new movie, now I'm not sure if I want to here the Nightwish version the whole way through. Nightwish is impossible to find in America. :( But I still love their music. nightwish | Reviewer: dar ------ About the song Swanheart performed by Nightwish I think that this is one of the most beautiful songs of nughtwish, altho its not very famuse, hes one of the most touching song ever. I think that this song talks about the soul of people- their lovin' and care part of their soul- the song is written very well and tarja (the ex lead singer of Nightwish) who sings the song- makes it even more beautiful and touching than it is because of her touching voice and her lovely presence (: I personally think she's just perfect. For a look, and personality - but here it's just a matter of taste. She has an angel's voice - a voice I had never heard of like him and I adore symphonic metal music, and tarja turunen is certainly the best of all. One of the best Nightwish songs, ever. | Reviewer: Fred Deuel ------ About the song Nightquest performed by Nightwish Firstly I cant get enough of this song! The riff right at the start just sucks me right in. The lyrics are great and just freaking catchy! I have a bit of a theory on what this song is about. I'm guessing it's about the band, with a verse about each member. "Born to the false world the wanderer Storyteller the pied piper On a quest for immortality Gathering a troop to find the fantasy" -Tuomas, 'storyteller' (song writer) and 'Gathering a troop' (founding member). "Lead by a maid queen of the night Voice of angel such a divine sight An amazon to fight and cure This reality with her feline lure" -Tarja, if it's not obvious. "A merry minstrel with his fingers fast Playing his Flute charming every lass Joins the troop with a glitter in his eye "Shall I find fame - or shall I die?" " -Emmpu and Sammi, if only for the 'fingers fast' fretting on the guitar. "Warrior with power along the path A hammerheart his gallantry to last Rhythm of sirens enemies take heed For in this war laws are in silent sleep" -Jukka, lays down the rhythm and beat; also he was the 'warrior', finishing his mandatory military service. Anyway, just my take on it, awesome song no matter what! Great :) | Reviewer: GnomiFisher ------ About the song Once Upon A Troubadour performed by Nightwish i really love the combination of tarja and tuomas voices here, and i love the medieval style, i think more credit should be given to this song. i love the simple repetition of the verses and chorus, and the middle break section, it's so well written, good, simple music Tarja gets owned in every way, except vocally | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish Obviously this song is bashing Tarja, who apparently became a bitch so that's why they kicked her out. It's a good song if you ignore Annette's little popstargirl voice and just concentrate on the music. Tarja gets the last laugh, because her vocals are massively superior to Annette's. ok my views on this..... | Reviewer: xeon256 ------ About artist/band Nightwish I love both the Tarja Nightwish, and the Anette Nightwish. Personally I like Tarja's vocals best, she brought a wonderful opera voice to a amazing rock sound, it was a beautiful balance. Now Anette brings a different approach to the table, similar to Lacuna coil. Tarja isnt better than Anette, nor is Anette better than Tarja. Both are great singers in their own right, but in the case of Nightwish Tarja I think is a better match. food for thought, the combined vocals of Anette, and Tarja, might sound pretty good, add Cristina Scabbia, I think the trio would sound really good....but thats just me. Worst Nightwish song ever | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Nymphomaniac Fantasia performed by Nightwish This is, in my opinion, the worst song that Nightwish has ever written. I thought "Passion and the Opera" was bad, then I stumbled across this on their website.... *shudder* Still love Nightwish. Walk within my poetry... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dead Boy's Poem performed by Nightwish This is one of my favorite Nightwish songs. I get chills reading the words, like their songwriter is reading my mind or something. I can't find Nightwish's CD's anywhere, (I guess they don't fit the top 40 music that out now, and a lot of that is crap anyway...) but I still love them. Live long and prosper, Nightwish. Dreamer still alive | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slaying The Dreamer performed by Nightwish For those of you who think that Nightwish is no longer Nightwish because Tarja is no longer with them, go listen to their older stuff. I'm tired of hearing people debate over who the better lead singer is. People come on. | Reviewer: Kyle Koch ------ About artist/band Nightwish Listen up people, ofcourse nightwish now has a new style, the main thing in a song (Vocals) are done by another person. I think you're beeing a little harsh saying Anette is that bad. If you would actually LISTEN to the songs instead of comparing her and Tarja, you would still say it's good music. I'll have to admit that it doesn't sounds like Goth-metal anymore, but I don't think that's a bad thing. The new album (wich I find best of all) is a little more ... celtic I think. Full of adventures. Every band comes to an end someday, we should be happy that Tarja is replaced and Nightwish lives on!!.

Your review was probably the biggest joke i've seen in weeks. One of the most biased, and frankly uninformed reviews i've seen. Your essentially trying to say "This band should not have the creative license to create the music they want and should create the same exact albums every single time, or it won't be good enough". Garbage. Tuomas has said it himself and it is evident on the album, that the entire band was held back by tarja and felt more and more like the band was about her exclusively. It was a very, very brave move both in the professional and the personal area to do such a major change like that, especially with simple minded viewers such as yourself (not exclusively you, a majority of music listeners simply do not like new or different things). This album is incredible. Every song stands out and has its own meanings. I've listened to all their previous albums extensively, and while I love the sound they had back then, they have moved on. The composition of these songs are so well done that I find myself loving each song more as I listen to them more. Not to mention the orchestral version which is a work of art on its own. Anette is an amazing singer. She's not tarja. Get over it. She performs incredibly well in both the album and live, considering the reputation she is forced to uphold. Nightwish was never meant to be tarja with some backup musicians, and Anette fits in 1000x better then tarja would in this album. So if you want the same old nightwish sound that is on their 5-6 other albums, don't look here. They made some great symphonic/power metal albums in the past, but this is not it. If you want to see a refreshingly new and inspirational album by an extremely talented band that is finally free from any creative restrictions, then look here. If you want an album that defies the simple minded critics like you will see below and is made of the music the band wanted to make, not what critics wanted, look here. If you want incredible music that breaks barriers between metal, "pop", folk, and orchestral music, and something with a thousand times more depth then you will find on the radio, buy this album. You won't regret it. 11/10 by far. Highlights include The poet and the pendulum, cadence of her last breath, eva, the islander, last of the wilds; but every song is worth a listen. The band moved on. Deal with it but don't criticize them for doing what they want, although shocking in the narrow minded music industry, it created an amazing album and a promise of even more incredible feats from this one of a kind band. Wimp metal personified | Reviewer: Dave ------ About the song Bye Bye Beautiful performed by Nightwish This song is a just pathetic swipe at Tarja. It is as cowardly as the way they fired her in their open letter. They could not just talk about the issues face to face. They fired their first bass player, Sammi, without talking to him also. At least Sammi's firing was not public. There is a reason they call this wimp metal. And, it has nothing to do with female singers.
