As Vynce, I really enjoy the work made on the orchestrations !
And I also regret that some "Symphonic Metal Bands" sometimes let this side down in their music.
I'm not a huge fan of Angel Fall First and the strange lyrics from Tuomas, except for Creek Mary's Blood and some other songs.I don't really like the character used by Tuomas too. "The Dead Boy"... I can't bear him anymore
As many of you, I love Once, but not all the songs on it : I'm found of Creek Mary's Blood, Ghost Love Score, Nemo, Dark Chest of Wonder.. : this album isn't egal at all!
The other albums are often in my MP3 Player! (Creek Mary's Blood is always in ^^)
I 'm full of respect for Anette ! Even if a lot of fans asked her to leave the band or anything else (such as the letter from the Russian fan-club), she has never gave up !!
Furthermore, each year, she improves her voice. Now, she sounds really good "live" and she sing the past songs differently, but quite good now ! Have a look to her 2009 Ghost Love Score version : I really enjoy it !
DarkPP to my mind, is musically, an achievement ! I love all the songs (except For the Heart..) ! =) Maybe is it a bit more darker than the past album ?...
I mean... I love all the songs,but... instrumental versions only ! I think they could have rearrange the vocal lines for Anette voice... but they didn't and sometimes it only makes me dislikes the song :/
I did what I could with my poor English x)
