I first discovered the band due to the recommendation of a friend and from the first time I heard Nemo, to the Walt Disney tribute Fantasmic, every word and sound had me hooked like a drug. But naturally, it did not last and Tarja was fired from the band. Now comes the debate. Critics and ‘loyalists’ to Nightwish say that the true fans stay with the band even with their new lead singer. And I am sorry but Annette is not Tarja. Her high pitched squeaky voice does nothing to capture the power and emotion previously given to us and if anything is out of place in that style of music.

Something akin to Brittney Spears singing with Korn. Not pretty. In fact it is at the point where I cannot listen to their new cd due to Annette butchering the sound, despite my hope they MIGHT save the album. In my personal opinion, they will not last. Tarja’s new cd came as a saving grace to me and I was more then eager to get it. I will say I believe any actual Nightwish fan will be more compelled to check out this album then Dark Passion Play and the like. Technical Review: Bottom line, Tarja’s voice is just as powerful and emotional as always, and upon hearing even just the first few songs I was taken back.

Musically some of the songs lack the power of previous Nightwish albums like Once, but then again that is hard to top. Many of the songs from My Winter Storm carry a more sorrowful tone, which does not lack. So my final review is just this, while it is not as powerful as Tarja’s former works with Nightwish, it certainly is a remarkable improvement from Dark Passion Play.

And I hope this review encourages Nightwish fans to at least give this album a chance, regardless of what Nightwish’s ‘true fans’ say. Everyone who is familiar with the heavy metal band Nightwish, last year the band had an acrimonious split with their former lead singer Tarja Turunen. It came to a shock for every fan of the band as well as Tarja. After a year since her dismissal fromt he band, Tarja returns to the music scene with a new album. I have to admit I have enjoy the new Nightwish album and their new singer Anette but alas I had missed hearing Tarja’s operatic vocals.

Thankfully I recently got a hold of her new solo album. Some of the songs left a flat taste in my mouth. Now that I am listening to the album again, the songs are starting to grow on me.

Tarja sounds as good as she ever did when she was with Nightwish. Her classically trained vocals takes a front seat on the album. I have noticed that there is a distinct classical sound. There still is a hard rock edge but it is more subtle and it takes a back seat to Tarja’s classical roots. I’m not really sure what to make of Tarja’s cover of the Alice Cooper song “Poison”. It is an interesting cover to say the very least. I wouldn’t say that the song is all that hot but I don’t think it is terrible either.

An official US release won’t happen until early I can definitely understand how people may be critical of Tarja’s first work of original post-Nightwish material. It is not the same as Nightwish, but when you think it, no one should ever expect it to be quite the same thing. It is with this album that Tarja is struggling to find her true individual self. She definitely sings with much more variety in tone than she ever did with Nightwish, but that is to be expected.

To better illustrate this, this is very much a parallel to the time when pop legend Peter Gabriel left Genesis around 30 years before Tarja left Nightwish, and then struggled with his first couple of solo albums to eventually find his true self on his third So with the subsequent solo album “What Lies Beneath” on top of this bit of history, there is all the more reason to believe that Tarja has alot ahead of her in her solo career. Okay, back to the album itself.

The song “Oasis” sounds like it belongs on an Enya album, but hey, Tarja’s abilities are more than compatible with such a style, and she did a great job with it.

The Alice Cooper cover “Poison” was definitely catchy, and even kind of funny. I know this might sound strange, but I thought that even the short interludes, especially “The Escape of The Doll” were really intriguing. Overall, when seen from the proper perspective in terms of transition, this album is truly a work of art, and I have no objections whatsoever.

Tarja has become by far my favorite female singer, with or without Nightish, and I really hope she keeps going. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. Other reviewers have already commented upon the way that Tarja’s voice draws you into another world, something that I will echo.

She is absolutely unique – and absolutely fabulous. There are still some serious guitars and synths in there, but in terms of Metal, think of it as more like Precious than Heavy. Standout rocking tracks are ‘I Walk Alone’, ‘Die Alive’ and ‘Ciaran’s Well’, but then you have songs like ‘Boy And The Ghost’ and ‘Sing For Me’ which begin with beautiful simplicity, drawing you in to really listen to the vocals, then building up to a powerful climax.

Then you come to a really gentle track – ‘Oasis’ – but just as you get acclimatised to it, the very next track is Tarja’s unique take on Alice Cooper’s ‘Poison’ which raises the tempo again, before subsiding into melodic loveliness for ‘Our Great Divide’.

In fact, it’s difficult to say precisely where the boundaries of the various styles lie, such is the seamless progression within and between the songs. You just need to listen to it without any preconceptions.

If you have the opportunity to see Tarja live, then don’t miss it. I was lucky enough to see her and her touring band at the Metal Female Voices Fest in October this year and it was like being in the presence of the Snow Queen or a norse shaman – sheer magical magnetism.

Some artists have to work hard when on stage, but Tarja is one of the few whose presence alone captures the audience. And then there is her voice. One person found this helpful. When I bought this CD I expected the old Nightwish riffs to be non-existent but to my pleasant surprise there was actually still plenty of energy in this album – guitar riffs included! She has such powerful emotion in her voice that can carry you through the album so easily from beginning to end.

Highly recommended to anyone who enjoyed Tarja from Nightwish but do expect something different musically. Doro Pesch 3. Wisdom of Wind 5. The Reign Scoremix 6. Die Alive Alternative Version 7.

Let demons howl outside. Where the calm fields of snow become one with the sky I am there; I am waiting as time passes by I set up the weather to suit how you feel Drop rain down with wishes, build grace out of steel. My soul burns. Sending dream flakes your way. All he wanted was a toy All he needed was a gentle heart To lead him through the dark When his dreams are running wild. Boy and the ghost, his eyes are burning The lights went out, the dream is on. All he wanted was a toy All he needed was a bleeding heart To lead him through the dark.

Despero, solitas, debilis, desolo Despero, solitas, debilis, desolo. I want to kiss you but I want it too much too much. I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison.

I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name. I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison. I wanna kiss you but I want it too much too much. I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison. Our Great Divide. How can I see through your eyes our worlds collide? So I just float with the tide through the night I pass you by. Damned And Divine. Written by Anders Wollbeck, Mattias Lindblom. The winter left her blanket here this morning A soft and gentle coverlet of white Unfolded in the shadows of the dawn It sparkled in the early morning light.

You would have loved this You would have loved this This was your favorite time of day. You would have loved this You always loved this I know you loved this time of year. You would have loved this You always loved this Oh, how you loved.
