Free Music Notes for Century Child
Free Music Review: Songs: good. Album: Great!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is actually my favorite Nightwish album, even though none of the individual songs make it onto my top 5 list of Nightwish songs. The thing about this album is that it is Nightwish's only real concept album. So, if you are a fan of that type of thing (and I most certainly am), I'd highly recommend this album. However, if you favor putting your MP3 player on shuffle and making compilation disks over listening to albums straight through, than you might rather spend your money on another Nightwish album. In my opinion, most of the songs can only really be fully appreciated in their proper context in the album.
However, even if you aren't a fan of concept albums, there are songs on this album that truly can hold their own such as End of All Hope, Dead to the World, and Phantom of the Opera. In any case, this album is definitely worth your money, it's just a matter of whether you consider it a good deal or a great deal.
Century Child Poster
"NIGHTWISH could very well have cloned their last full studio album, Wishmaster, and would have been guaranteed to sell as many copies without the fanbase batting an eyelash. Simply put, the band is that good. NIGHTWISH is not stupid, firmly believing in artistic integrity over sales and clearly having the balls to branch out, explore and experiment with their craft. For a start, the level of bombast seems to have been turned down a notch on Century Child in favour of a more metal approach, even singer Tarja toning down her all-out opera vocals somewhat and using her voice with much broader scope. Ironically, the band has become more operatic at the same time with the addition of bassist Marco Hietala - recently stolen from Sinergy - who acts as Tarja's male lead vocal counterpart on several tracks, making a huge impact on the band's sound. No question that NIGHTWISH would be just another band with out Tarja though, who shines brighter than she ever has before. ! Century Child is yet another firm step towards greatness." (9 out of 10 review) - BRAVE WORDS & BLOODY KNUCKLES-1st new album in over two years! Massive anticipation! -Fourth full-length from one of gothic metal's leading acts. -NIGHTWISH have already received double platinum and gold album awards in their native Finland, as well as winning two Emma Awards (the Finnish equivalent of a Grammy) and scoring four Top 10 hits at radio. -Produced by Tero Kinnunen (Nightwish) and Mikko Karmila (Amorphis, Stratovarius, Avantasia) at Caverock and Finnvox Studios in Finland.
