    Not everybody is going to love every kind of music, it was extremely kind of you guys to not discredit their talent and even though youre not a fan you still understand what great musicianship looks like. They are probably the best of that specific genre of metal, but symphonic metal is definitely not for everybody.

    Thanks for your reaction and thoughts. It may help you to understand the context. The composition is about evolution. Evolution of the earth, humans, music, and instrumentation.
    There are so many Easter eggs in this song it’s incredible.
    Thanks for taking the time. ❤

    It's not for everyone. I honestly think this kind of music has more appeal to non-metalheads than existing metalheads, which is no bad thing. I personally like watching non-metalheads react to it for the first time, and gain a new perspective and appreciation for metal. It's very impressive music. But I wouldn't listen to it in my own time.

      I agree that Nightwish's music is not for everyone. Someone once put it brilliantly; "Nightwish is metal for the thinking mind". I think it's perfectly put and what I understand it to mean is that Nightwish (especially nowadays) suits best people, who want to evolve themselves, understand themselves and appreciate all the nuances of life, each other, humanity, nature and the overall joy of being alive. I myself am a metalhead (and finnish btw) but found Nightwish a few years ago. Of course I had been a fan in my teens, but as an adult, I wasn't impressed. When I started my healing journey a few years ago and wanted to become a better person, to truely understand myself, my heritage, other human beings and my existence on this planet, Nightwish was like a warm blanket. Now I am a total fan, they have (partly) helped me to become this person I am now. I am trully grateful for their music ❤

    I used to feel the same way about Symphonic / power metal thought it was corny / cheezy , all I listened to was THRASH ( Still do ) EXODUS , Testament, Overkill , Slayer etc. .....I'm ashamed to even say me and my friends used to bully and even beat up those kids that followed Symphonic/ power / Goth , we were assholes ......but as I hit my 50s I started to be more receptive to this style of music , not all the bands but Nightwish in particular ( Floor got me ) to appreciate it .
    The great thing about this music it opens up the door for people who would normally never listen to metal and introduces them to the heavier stuff .

    Nightwish does have a lot of variety in their songwriting. This one is over the top epic which can turn off some people understandably. For me their music is quite charming. I remember you guys liking Yours Is An Empty Hope which is balls to the walls heavy. Maybe you could check out their heavy stuff or maybe a chill ballad which aren't too long in duration, cheesy or overproduced. Master Passion Greed, Song Of Myself, Rest Calm or Our Decades In The Sun could be for your liking perhaps? Out of these only Song Of Myself has a quality live version on RUclips. (Wacken 2013) So the rest would be studio version reactions.

    no worries, not every music is for everybody - some people like it, some don't. Same with classic death metal - I can't get into that and I tried. As long as you keep respect for the artist, it's all good. Nightwish had been my favorite band for over 20 years, but they lost me lately, sadly. Oh btw this was not a festival - just a Nightwish headliner show, they are a huge band even If not everybody likes them. ;)

  • @hemlock399

    I totally agree with you two. There are sections I like, but then it reverts to that sort of soaring, power-metally vibe that just turns me off. It's an emotional state that does not resonate with me. But Nightwish are obviously very talented.

    I like some classical music and think that Handel's Messiah has great melodies throughout, so it surprises me that I also can't get into most symphonic metal. Fast and loud does not equal interesting. It needs more rhythmic and harmonic complexity. There is plenty of Prog Metal out there that fits the bill.

    Damn, 27 minutes? Your title made me want to listen to this because I have also never gotten into this style of metal. I think it's good to be introspective and try to understand why you like what you like. I imagine symphonic metal like Nightwish's will sound "cheesy" to me, which I don't really like since there's definitely things I like that I can imagine someone calling "cheesy". But that's just how I feel. It doesn't have to make sense.

The connection to the themes, the lyrics mirrored by the music gets me everytime. Even when I definitely like the more heavier songs like Master Passion Greed ( the hardest song! only album), Dark chest of wonders and Song of myself ( Wacken live), Yours is an empty hope (Wembley live), Weak fantasy (Tampere live), Tribal ...
      Many songs have really heavy breakdowns and the long songs have a heavy part in it ( exceot Ghost love score)

      @dmusiclife5727 I find it hypocritical that most ppl hate one genre but like the others. In terms of metal music all of the genres. Metal music was born from Classical and Sympathy.. the sounds are very much the same and this is why metal and classical music work well together due to the fact they do have the same structure and background. Example Mozart and Beethoven are basically the foundation to what metal music is today. Personal opinions from non metal listeners I don't have an issue with. It bugs me when "metal" listeners love any other metal genre but hates the other because of what? My problem is that ppl get on these bandwagons because of their personal opinion on it. You can't like metal if you hate symphonic music as I said before Metal was born from classical music.
