Dark Passion Play


..is the newly released album of Nightwish after about 2 years of hiatus. I was really anticipating the new vocalist, her voice and her style of singing as well as fashion. It cant be argued that Tarja Turunen is one of the best singer/vocalist there is, and her singing style was really amazing, her sense of fashion is also commendable.
A few months ago, I think it was July or August the group announce their new vocalist: Anette. I vow not to compare her to Tarja, since when the group announced their search for a new vocalist they did not look for someone who is classically trained but someone who has a refreshing voice.Then I guess Anette is that, has a refreshing voice.
When I first heard the single Amaranth, there is no mistaken its Nightwish. When I heard Anette sung, POP?? oh no.. but I continue to listen to it, and as expected the group choose well. Anette’s voice hmmm .. there is something in her voice that makes you want to listen more and more.
The new album is different from their previously realesed, the Nightwish trademark is still there, but I don’t know how to say it..
I think the atmosphere is kinda lighter, it does not make you want to head bang but sort of wanna make you dance
My favorite song so far in order: Amaranth , Bye Bye Beatiful and The Poet and The Pendulum
