Free Music Notes for World of Glass
Free Music Review: First time lisner
Hit: 3 Stars
This is my first taste of Tristania. at first i did not think I liked it much but it grows on you (much like Nightwish). it has death Growls of which i am not much of a fan but i have to say it works here better than it did in Within Temptation's album 'Enter' and the clean male vocals are wonderful (too bad there is not much of then. i'd like to here more songs with just him) the female vocals are nothing to rave about but are clean and good. my two favorite songs from the album are 'Wormwood' and 'Tender Trip on Earth' espeicaly the former. Wow. all in all i would recomend it to anyone who likes Nightwhish, Within Temptation or any like groups. just give it a chance. also if you would like to hear any full length songs before you buy the album go to [...] and put in the groups name and they will have a few full length songs you can listen toFree Music Review: Not as Raw
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought Beyond The Veil first and that is now my ALL-TIME favorite cd ever, so I bought this one. Although not as...raw...I guess you would say as BTV, this album is still barely less a value. I have to say, I find it amusing that World of Glass and Sirenia's Sixes & Sevens are so similar, when the artists split for "musical differences". Needless to say, if you like this cd or that one, you will like the other as well! Top of the line for Beauty and Beast Symphonic Metal. I keep searching for something to top BTV, but doubt I will ever find it.Free Music Review: Even Without Morten Tristania Still Enchants!!

I have been listening to this cd for only a week and man do I love it! There seems to be people who disagree with the growling vocals of these types of band. But I on the other hand, feel that its key to formulating this great sound and melodic symphony. Especially cause this new growler isnt as extreme sounding as Morten. Which should make people exploring this type of music more eased into it. Not taking credit away from Morten who I still feel is a better growler And who has made masterpieces with this band hence Beyond The Veil, and Widows Weeds to name a few. But this is easier to the ear for the newbies exploring this type of music. But to eliminate the growls would just make it to mellow and soft. And would sound somewhat along the lines of Within Temptation and Evanescence. Which is so played out right now. If you find yourself enjoying this release then start backwards and get there other past albums. True masterpieces there!! Free Music Review: Accelerating

Awesome album! In these nine/ten tracks (I got 9) you have a beautiful singing soprano, an orchestra, a choir, grunting, an extremly low baritone male vox, crushy gruitars, and pounding drums, along with some symphonic keyboards.
1.The Shining Path: My favorite, an opera masterpiece (10/10)
2.Wormwood: An average song, very apolcalyptic (7/10)
3.Tender Trip on Earth: A nice little love song (9/10)
4.Lost: No Vibeke, least favorite (2/10)
5.Deadlocked: A beautiful song, no screams, just Vibeke (10/10)
6.Selling Out: More of a slower song, but still cool (8/10)
7.Hatred Grows: An awesome song, love it (10/10)
8.World of Glass: Similar to a WT song, but I like it (9/10)
9.Crushed Dreams: I really like this song, it's a good closer (10/10)
I highly reccomend this CD, for all people who love Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Nightwish, Epica, After forever, Sirenia, and Penumbra you should buy this!
Free Music Review: "See God and his hand of death/Squeezing out earth's final breath"
Hit: 4 Stars
From the second track, Wormwood, my favorite,which concerns the end of times as described in The Book of Revelations. God gets some attention in most of the other songs also, directly or indirectly, and not always in the best light, but He can handle it. The first song, The Shining Path, involves a woman being burned at the stake; no name is given but since the album was recorded in France, perhaps it is Joan of Arc.
Every song contains vocals of all types: choir, female operatic, growling (I guess the proper term is extreme vocals), and regular male vocals, usually of a very mellow type. There are times when two or more of these types are combined, and most of the songs have the choir singing sections in Latin, something I particularly like. There are times when the growling goes almost to the point where I would say it is too much, but it never quite gets there before one of the other vocal styles jumps in. A very listenable compilation rating four stars based on my tastes. (Please see my profile for a brief discussion of my rating philosophy.)
