Rating : - 80s and Opera
This cd popped up in my recommendations, and I guess I've rated too many 80s cds. Even if all you had were the 30-second previews, it would immediately be apparent the music is simplistic in construction: a steady beat mainly in 4/4 with little variation therein. Nothing unique.

What is supposedly unique with Nightwish is the opera singer with a Symphonic Metal band. But this is no "Queen of the Winter Night" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra; this is a forced-vibrato female who sounds like she's sitting on a vibrating chair. Horrid, horrid. This is no "Phantom" and this isn't opera; it's badly executed shtick constructed to lure in Gothic teenagers.
