Dark Passion Play Reviews

Dark Passion Play...5th album by the Finnish Symphonic metal band Nightwish. This masterpiece being 75 mintutes long into 13 killer tracks, will surely grab your attention.
This is the first album with new vocalist Anette Olzon(ex-Alyson Avenue)replacing the well known Tarja Turunen. Many fans were disappointed with Tarja leaving, however, I enjoy Anette's less-operatic approach to singing and find it more soothing and appealing on tracks such as: Amaranth and Bye Bye Beautiful.
Marco's vocals change slightly from past albums, he does not growl. He yells with great pitch and ferocity.
Standout tracks include: Amaranth, Whoever Brings The Night and The Islander(a brutal yet lovely celtic instrumental).
If you love symphonic metal, this is the album to buy. the cd never seems to end or get old!
