Free Music Review: Nightwish buy their first pair of rock boots
Hit: 3 Stars
This album comes out of the blocks with two absolutely charming and brilliant songs. Stargazers and Gethsemane were on heavy rotation at my place in the months after I bought this album I can tell you. Really, if your uninitiated in the ways of Nightwish I'd have to recommend you download MP3's of those two songs as they are very much intelligent songs both musically and lyrically and truly show the depth of thinking in this bands creative engine room.
As the album unfolds we get other songs that while not in the same league are also interesting in setting out the bands stall such as The Pharaoh Sails to Orion and the single Sleeping Sun. The whole thing is nicely produced and all the players slot into their places and get their respective jobs done. The booklet includes all the lyrics and the cover artwork also gives you a good idea of what the band is all about.
All up I'd wholeheartedly recommend this album to anyone who heard Once and wants to explore the back catalogue, just don't expect the same kill factor here as on this album the band were only progressing to the orchestral metal monster they'd later become. And admittedly nowadays it virtually never graces my stereo given that when I want to listen to this band, this ain't the album I reach for. It is a touch twee, naive and Tarja is singing so high this disc will always be a bit of an acquired taste. But as one of the fore runners and front runners of the genre Nightwish had something goin' one almost from the word go.
