Trebalo je puno vremena da mi se slegnu utisci oko ovih procurelih pesama..
Shto se tiche TPATP..jako sam odushevljen,iako svojom voljom nisam odslushao celu...
Annetin vokal u pesmi je u principu dosta slab(nazhalost,mislim da ce to biti veliki problem i u drugim)..

Shto se tiche Amarantha..pa prva reakcija je bila:"Bolje da su izbacili 5 rimejka Nema i za svaki snimili spot,manja bi shteta bila".....
Zgrozio sam se bio pesmom,tj. pop uticajem,vokalom,suvishe "obichnin" i nemashtovitim klavijaturama...Orkestar je veoma dobar,ali se chuje dosta slabo,kao i hor(valjda ce preko diska biti bolje..nadam se)...

BBB....uf...josh jedno razocharenje.....drugi WIHAA..sa uzhasnim klavijaturama,ali ovaj put malo boljim vokalom..Pesma je pevljiva(a mrzim takve),ali mi je donekle zanimljiva...jedini problem je to shto je suvishe obichna za NW,i za Tuomasovo komponovanje..onakve deonice na klavijaturama su totalno nekreativne..
Kako nisam fan WIHAA,niti tehna,koji se kao vrti kroz obe,verovatno mi se pesma nece vishe zasvidjati od ovog...

Ostalo,tj. Cadence....nisam zheleo da chujem..poshro nije fora.. :)...


U svakom sluchaju...jedan od razloga zbog kojih me nerviraju ove pesme jeste taj da zhele da urade ono shto su uradili posle izlaska "Once-a"...Amaranth po strukturi podseca na Nemo i bice mnogo dopadljiviji shiroj publici,BBB slichan znase vec kojoj,takodje...tako da je veoma logichno da zhele josh kinte,josh fanova,pri chemu ce isgubiti mnoge..
Eto..valjda ce ostatak albuma biti fenomenalan....

[Jefimija]

Eto..valjda ce ostatak albuma biti fenomenalan....

Ako su `vako poceli....tesko

[Sirius]

hm....dosta istine ima u tome....

[Winter's Son]

".Amaranth po strukturi podseca na Nemo"
ne da podsecja, nego je isti nemo... chak i ono "Calling..." je ustvarni "Nemo sailing..."
poslednji refren je po aranzmanu isti kao Nemo, pochetak je isti kao nemo.... Nightwish nije propao odlaskom Tarje, Nightwish je propao ostankom Tuomasa (majke mu ga buljave)....

hor u Amaranthu je odlichan (za sada), ali da se ne chuje-ne chuje se... da li od Anete, ili toga shto ime je loshe spakovan u pesmu, ne znam, ali znam da moram na Winampu da ukljuchim opciju odstranjivanja vokala iz pesme da bih, bog-zna-kako nachuo neshto malo vishe hora....koji mi je simpatichan na pochetku drugog refrena....

inache: "Dark Passion Play" will be released in Russia by Fono Ltd on the 28th of September 2007.

[White Hunter]

Ochigledno da se slazhemo....
Inche orkestar i hor jedino izvlache pesmu...ostalo je..blah....

[Luka]

Mene jos jedino zanima da cujem Seven Days To The Wolves. Ovo ostalo....prosek. Poet mi se svidja,ali vokal opet jebe stvar. :/

[Angel Of Light]

vokal svuda jebe stvar :( jos da cujemo seven days pa cemo da vidimo...sto se tice hora i orkestra,to mi se svidja,ali njen vokal :(

[Sirius]

znao sam da ce ovako biti cim sam cuo eva sample.....vise nista ne ocekujem, mozda master passion greed, jer tu peva samo marco.....a nemo mi je mnogo bolji od amarantha.....

[White Hunter]

Takodje..i zbog vokala,i zbog orkestra,ostalo je prosek opet,ali je bolji od Amarantha sigurno...
Kod Nema bar nemash osecaj da slushash Britni Spirs sa orkestrom i po kojom gitarom...

[Winter's Son]

m-da, slooshash Madonnu

nego, Nemo jeste bolji od Amarantha, ali me Amaranth podsecja na the Riddler-a u GLS fazonu (ala sam ga spakovao ) i sav nekako shljashti..

a master passion greed ako bude bio bez Anete, imacju utisak da slusham Tarot u izvodjenju Godsmack-a sa minimalnim prizvukom NW-a (ili bar onoga shto je nekad bio )

[White Hunter]

Znash kako..meni nije problem da ima malo Godmacka-a..uostalom nije ni problem da ima i trash-a..kako kazhu...
Sad se setih da u 7 Days To Wolfs ima veliki uticaj Tarota(refren),zatim i u BBB,a mozhda ce biti josh negde...em zbog Markovog vokala koj  je isti,em zbog Markovog sudelovanja u komponavanju....
Inache ne volim Tarot,pa ga ne bih voleo ni u NW-u....

[Sirius]

pa lips je bez zenskog vokala, pa nema veze sa tarotom, a i pesma je super......

[Angel Of Light]

ja i nisam nesto odusevljena lips-om...

[White Hunter]

Ako mislite na While your lips are still red..nema ni razloga da  lichi na Tarot,jer je komponovao Tuomas,a Marko je peva drugachijim vokalom...

[Angel Of Light]

mislimo na nju...meni se ne dopada nesto posebno...

[White Hunter]

Chuo sam je samo jednom..mrzi me da je slusham opet..
Koliko se secam svidela mi se....

[Sirius]

meni je predobra....

[Lomelinven]

nisam cula nista od ovoga, ali po vasim komentarima..hmm :/

ne znam, izgleda da je vokal jedino sto ne stima..ali, na sve se covek navikne..

tekstove sam procesljala...fini su....

[White Hunter]

Toplo ti preporuchujem da nishta ne odslushash....naravno dok ne kupish album....
Ovako ne znash bash na chemu si..bolji je efekat kada se preslusha ceo album lepo....

[Elizabeth]

ja nisam nishta od ovogg preslushala...

[Winter's Son]

ja samo Amaranth i svidjaju mi se detalji u muzici...
ima, tokom refrena chuju se mali zvonchicji, ali jedva se chuju...
vishe mi se svidjaju detaljchicji u pesmi(mislim na muziku) neko cela pesma/kompozicija... u jednom delu mi je muzika totalno prazna, kao da josh neshto fali... ovo pricham za muziku, aneta nema veze sa ovim jer u tom delu nema txt-a

TRACK BY TRACK REVIEW OF DARK PASSION PLAY

01 – The Poet And The Pendulum: The creativity of the eternal Kitee boy seems not to have an end. A few months ago, Tuomas Holopainen, lighted the fire to the fans on the internet, saying that the album would have a 14 minutes-long epic. Well, besides being long, The Poet And The Pendulum is the opening track of Dark Passion Play and I should say it's not really fair and possible to put it into words. If tracks like Beauty Of The Beast and Ghost Love Score already sounded huge to the fans, to compare them with The Poet And The Pendulum is definitely a coward act. With dark, soft, somewhat horror-like passages, riffs like Pantera's, Marco singing really angry, cinematographic sounds and a chorus that takes the breath away, this is by far the best song Nightwish ever recorded. An amazing start to Anette, although the vocals are more like secondary stuff on this track. By the way, on this track, we can hear the "boys sopranos" singing. And to finish, a nice curiosity: they something like 300 tracks in the studio to record and mix this song! Don't listen to it on poor computer speakers, you'll lose lots of details of it.

02 – Bye Bye Beautiful: It's not even necessary to be that smart to guess what is the main theme on this track. That's right, the whole incident between band and Tarja obviously affected them and all those feelings made the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen gives life to Dark Passion Play. But, in some songs, the words weren't used in the beautiful and metaphorical meanings, but in a really straight way, like Bye Bye Beautiful. With a keyboard melody that reminds us the classic "Live and Let Die", really heavy guitars and Marco Hietala singing the most part of the song, we can face this one as the new Wish I Had An Angel. Future single of Dark Passion Play, Bye Bye Beautiful will probably turn into a big live classic and if it could have it's theme shorted into a question, that might be: "Tarja, did you ever understand what Nightwish is about?"

03 – Amaranth: Do you know the "The Ugly Duckling" classic? Here it's called Amaranth. This song, would be, at first, a bonus track, but after some time band and record company started not only to like but decided to include it on the final tracklist and release it as the first working single of Dark Passion Play. It's a typical single-like track, not slow and not fast, with soft keys passages mixed with heavy guitars. Everybody can listen it's chorus, catchy and cheering, available to download at the band's official website. We can also point Anette's versatility, singing in different ways on the whole song. Will be the first video-track for the album.

04 – Cadence Of Her Last Breath: If I need to point one song that stays in the head after the very first listening, that would be Cadence Of Her Last Breath. With a strong bass line and a guitar riff that matches the vocal melodies, it's not possible to not to sing this melody after Dark Passion Play ends. Anette is on the first spot, singing some higher notes and giving Marco some space to put some vocal parts in the chorus. It's not one of the best moments of the album, but it sounds good, catches you so much that it makes justice to its part on the whole thing.

05 – Master Passion Greed: Now we're talking about heavy stuff! If you followed the whole thing that happened between band and Tarja/husband-manager, you must know Nightwish reasons. Then, if Bye Bye Beautiful is more about the thing with Tarja, Master Passion Greed would be about the thing with the second half of the couple. As it should be, this is the heavier track of the album and the whole career of the band so far. By it's lack of female vocals (only Marco sings this one!) sometimes it's hard to believe this is Nightwish (in a good way, of course), due to the violent riffs, drumming, bass-playing and so on. The orchestra goes really intense on this track, especially at the scary heavy end. This is for sure an born-classic tune and will kick some buns live!

06 – Eva: Don't cheat yourself with Eva. Despite its beauty, it's great to introduce the new singer but doesn't have anything in common with the content of Dark Passion Play. It's the traditional ballad, short, easy going and listening kind of song and that's it. Of course it's a good ballad but doesn't represent the album itself.

07 – Sahara: After the ballad, this is an impressive track. Sahara stands out especially because the different passages and the fantastic choir. It's that kind of music that changes all the time: starts fast, then have some mid-tempo moments, heavy stuff, one moment that reminds us Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers etc. And all that with a powerful chorus that makes you want to sing along! One of the best songs of the entire album, for sure.

08 – Whoever Brings The Night: And the small giant Emppu puts his mark on a Nightwish album. For the first time signing an entire track, Emppu brought to Dark Passion Play what we can call a typical guitarist song. But, you're dead wrong if you think this is about virtuosi-stuff and never ending solos. I'm talking about riffing! He brought a bunch of nice guitar riffs and now, with some different vocal lines from Anette, we have a great song, with different parts too. For a little taste of this one, you should check Marco recording his bass lines at the band's official Video Blog. Remember that heavy riffing where Marco plays bass on? That's Whoever Brings the Night.

09 – For The Heart I Once Had: This song will clear up lots of people that doubts about Annete's vocal range. Starting with a lead with guitar and piano, the song grows with soft melodies and a VERY high chorus. Based on the way that the chorus is sung, one could say there isn't a better name for this track.

10 – The Islander: The bassist and vocalist Marco Hietala signs this acoustic track. And you can see his touch here, if you know a little bit oh his great work with Tarot, his other band for more than 20 years. However, instead of the sci-fi influence, The Islander has a celtic sonority, with an amazing Irish touch in the way he sings. In the chorus we can hear a nice combination between Marco and Anette, who makes the second voice. An acoustic moment in the stage, with those high bar chairs, would be fantastic to this song!

11 – Last Of The Wilds: If you already had some moments of fun with friends around a bonfire, or if you can at least picture that situation, here's the new soundtrack for that kind of thing. Last Of The Wilds is basically that, a happy instrumental song, with lots of pipes, guitars, flutes, kanteles (finnish instrument) and all that. The typical happy song that will make your old relatives to dance around and spend the rest of the weekend ashamed about it. Amazing tune!

12 – 7 Days To The Wolves: As usually happens with Nightwish, we can expect special tracks in the end of the album. 7 Days To The Wolves is just one step far from the end of Dark Passion Play, and brings the bassist Marco Hietala singing the lead vocals in the chorus while Anette shows us an aggressive side of her voice sometimes. The curious fact here is that the keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen was inspired by Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" to compose this song (not the lyrics).

13 – Meadows Of Heaven: Fortunately, Nightwish isn't a band who fears to try new things. Meadows of Heaven is a unbelievable combination of heavy metal ballad and a gospel choir, with black music's touch. The production is absolutely amazing and brings tears to a rock's eye! With a huge orchestration in the end and the gospel choir, the song brings to the listener some vocal solos from the choir people, making this song a lot special and touching just a few seconds before Dark Passion Play ends. Judging for how many cold shivers I had during this song, it's one of the best new Nightwish songs too, closing an awesome album in a very awesome way.
