Nightwish?

Curious on what you all think of this band in its current form.

Ever since ive discovered this band myself (Ive heard the music, never the band, until recently) ive only listened to their old albums. I love them! But i also see on YouTube that Nightwish is getting alot of flak with the newer female lead vocalist.
So i pushed their latest live album that just hit my WalMart and gave it a listen to. I gotta say, im quite impressed with how well she holds up, but i also have to say i wish the dude whos trying to sing would get a throat cramp and shutup already. Nice voice but damn it doesn't fit at all!


So im all for it.

What do you guys think?

Got the entire discography of them...in other words I love their music be it the new or old singer. They are both good singers in their own way and not to be compared. They have some cool music videos too.

Nightwish has been one of my favorite  powermetal band ever since i bought oceanborn back in '98. songs like " Astral Romance" "moondance" "wishmaster" and "wanderlust" just cant be compare to there new stuff of Dark Passion play. One reason being Tarja's mature operatic voice. Annette is a good singer, but her voice doesn't fit in the Nightwish i know. |

Markos' voice fit perfectly in "Planet hell" and "I wish i had an angel"  :)

Nightwish is a really awesome group. Although, I must admit I only really listen to "10th Man Down" by them. Their style isn't really my cup of tea but I respect and appreciate their music, a lot.

Nightwish was my first big band I was passionate about (only from a couple years ago, I never paid attention to music that much). And I sorely wish I could have seen them live with Tarja.

Dark passion play has some awesome songs, songs I often listen to regularly still. I just think that Anette sounds kinda mainstream though. Tarja's distinctive voice and singing style is what made that band so awesome, now they sound like a lot of other European melodic metal bands. Its a shame :/
