Free Music Notes for My Winter Storm
Free Music Review: Better than the new Nightwish album
Hit: 4 Stars
Fans of Nightwish, this your album of the year. Song writing could be better, but Tarja's voice can carry any song.Free Music Review: Fans of the Tarja-era Nightwish won't be disappointed...
Hit: 5 Stars
For a long time, I've hoped in vain that the universe would turn upside down and Tarja Turunen and Nightwish would get back together and go back to making the epic opera rock they were famous for everywhere (except America). However, Nightwish moved on with a new singer and a somewhat different sound, leaving me to hope that maybe Tarja would be back with the sound I loved so much.
Well, all hopes might not be in vain after all...
"My Winter Storm" brings back much of what I've been missing, even from the new Nightwish. Tarja's powerful voice is showcased throughout, and deservedly so; there's no mistaking that the Queen's voice is the focus and the reason for it.
The music itself is evocative of "Once" and "Century Child", albeit with less metal emphasis. Her band is actually quite good; tracks like "Lost Northern Star" and "Damned and Divine" can stand up against anything that Nightwish has done. My favorite track has to be "Sing for Me"; it sounds like a lost track from "Once".
If you miss the old Nightwish, this album won't disappoint.
