i have listened it few times. it get's better and better.
The owl is turning its head counter clockwise like going back in time.
Good observation.
At first we see the Darwin books in the Library from left to right...
Jukkas hand is turning back as it vanishes...
Good to see Nightwish back! Great visuals and video, good tune to suit those visuals too. :)
Big Nightwish fan here and I get what you guys are saying. Toumas said that the mixing of this song was done that way on purpose. Floor was meant to be singing to us as one of our past ancestors among all of our ancestors. I will listen to this again for sure but if and when this is done live I bet it will sound great and Floor will nail it.
I concur. Many reactors dont understanding it.
I Concur
Nah, this song is trash 🗑️
@@ImTheRealZee sorry you don't like it
I have two problems with that:
1. If it sounds crap, intention does not make it better.
2. There is a realistic possibility that there will never be a live concert again, so "it will sound great live" is not worthless to me.
There is only one, Nightwish! And thanks for Yours reactions.
There has been a controversy about Floor vocals mixing. They sound kinda low especially in the chorus but it really depends from people to people or the platform they used to listen to it or the hardware they used. Personnaly I only listened to it on YT with the music video and the single version. I personally think the single's sounds slightly better as there is no MV SFX in it which probably added another layer of sound to an already very busy track. I personally love the song and its video, it just takes time to grow on you. People whined about Noise and especially Harvest where they were released for Human Nature and Elan received quite a lukewarm reception when it was released because it was deemed too soft as a debut for Floor's NW era and now it's a fan favorite during live shows.
I'm not saying Tuomas is above mistakes or criticism but since people will always find something to complain, well...
Personally, I like the mix, it's more immersive which fits the song.
For everyone who doesn't like the mix: There is a Dolby Atmos version on Apple music now. A lot of people think the mix is better there.
Sorry,but ,i just have a very good sound system,stereo,no surround shit,so ,if i want a "good mix"i need a new sound system? That is a costly mistake of Nightwish if that happens to be true. Crazy suggestion.🤨
Most likely it's the same mix, but it will be easier to pick out Floor's vocals spatially.
(Got to love how our brains let us do that: as a birder, I can focus on one specific bird in one specific tree.)
@@jpdemer5 Well,nice but, it has nothing to do with the point i make.
@@strabel803 Well, the mix is well done in every platform for the purpose Tuomas wanted, if you don't like that decision, it's ok,. You don't need any special gadget for listening the song. I like this song the way it's made and i have listened with and without headphones, with good gadgets and standard ones too
@@paisa20 Well if somebody says "in dolby atmos the voice sound better"it is not the same in every system. I respect tuomas a lot as composer/lyricist but as producer in this song i have some issues. Sure ,if you read the lyrics or listen multiple times ,it get's better ,people say but,for me that is a strange remark,i want it to sound good the first time i hear it and Tuomas "intend"it this way,doesn't make it better for me.😉
I did hear Troy say, this upcoming album, really feels like a 3th part of a trilogy, and well thats exatly what it is right, also he said its good when the band can get goosebumbs for some parts to, and we did with this album..
its Endless forms most beautyful, human nature, and a little extra..
i will say even its a 8,5 min song, it really dont feel that long, more like 5 min..
A lot of people have said Floor gets a bit lost in this track, I think maybe they're having her as just one of the instruments? on the same level? anyway it's still good. Great reaction x
She is one of the curious ghosts....
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job again and nice to have you back
Love the composition, it grows on you when hearing it more often.
Conclusion so far: love it, all Nightwish characteristics are in there❣️
Love Troy’s contribution at the end!
Thanks for your reaction again ❤️
Bigger and Grander. Nightwish doing Nightwish Things. Rock onnnn! 🤘😎👍
Yep...and I feel very deeply, Tuomas will give us even more........20th of September was it?
Welcome back, guys! I am praying to hear Floor belt this out live soon!
Unfortunately there won't be a tour with this album... Or so they said
Everybody deserves his/her personal taste, so I would never critisize your opinion about the length of the song. For me this song could go on for an hour and I would still listen to it many times in a row. To me it is the perfect evolution of the music they are grown in their understanding of rhythm, harmonie and pace and I totally look forward to the album in september which I already preordered immediately. It is the logical finish of the trilogie they announced with 'Endless forms...', 'Human|Nature' and finally this one.
I guess it will - after years - be seen like the great works of Pink Floyd as milestones of rock.
"I guess it will - after years - be seen like the great works of Pink Floyd as milestones of rock. "
Are you seriously thinking that? 😂
@@flowq3874 I am old enough to know how they were talking about some of the works of Pink Floyd back in time. Born 60 I got it all....
And yes, knowing a lot about music as founder of german rock assossiation I take the pride to have my opinion.
@@user-nr2by3gf8g Nothing wrong with an opinion - I am just pretty sure it's not going that way.

I like All ...the new Nightwish...and as i follow yall both .. i have 2 say Your Lady is more Authentic as ever .....she is Beautifull..🌺..
Love to see feel hear you both ...love and light from Holland 🪷💜💥🦁🦋
As Troy recently stated in an interview: it is the next step in the Nightwish trilogy, consisting of Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Human :||:Nature and now Yesterwynde (The universe, earth, evolution and us)

NIGHTWISH IS BACK!🤘🎸
Thanks for yor reaction! You have to listen and see it a few times, than you will understand more and more. I love the music and also the video, its fantastic! Floors voice is mixed more in the background, because we are all the parfume of the timeless, its not the time for a dominant voice. There are many things in there... Darwin... his birds from the galapgos islands... and many more things to discover :)
As someone who has written a lot and is proud of his versatility, I can tell you that no matter what you do, someone will love it and another person will hate exactly the same thing about exactly the same book, or piece of music, or sculpture, or whatever. So as a creator, in the end you have to do what pleases you. Which is what Tuomas is doing.
Take it or leave it. Otherwise, Baskin-Robbins would be Two Flavors instead of 31.
And therein lies the problem with music today. The record companies force you into the instant gratification syndrome. People have been trained to accept 3 or 3 1/2 minute half dozen lyric songs. With Nightwish, you need to relax and enjoy the composition.
Enjoyed your reaction! I don't find it controversial at all. Music, like any art, is highly personal and subjective. I agree that Floor's vocals are a little low in the mix and as others have mentioned it was done on purpose. Personally I like the mix and the more I have listened the more I have loved it. It is very catchy and has been playing in my head constantly since I first heard it. Harry is right, this is classic Nightwish. It has everything I love about them. Beautiful instrumentation, thought provoking lyrics and epic storytelling. Love how the instrumentation melody in hte very beginning foreshadows the vocal melodies in the verse. For folks that want to hear a re-mix of the song with Floor's vocals higher in the mix checkout Nightwish Arena's channel. He has a video where he re-mixed her vocals. I haven't listened to it myself so can't' comment on how it sounds. I love the final part with Troy singing. It feels very Auri like. Auri is a side project of Tuomas, Troy, and Johanna Kurkela (Tuomas's wife and poular Finnish folk/pop inger). Auri is folky/atmospheric kind of music. Some of my favorites include The Space Between, Desert Flower, and The Valley.
Personal taste and opinions are part of life. For me, the song could have went on for several more minutes and I would have been happy. I've listened to this piece of musical art several times, maybe 30 or more, and it just keeps getting better and better. I've heard several people say that they didn't particularly like the song the first time they heard it, but the more they heard it the more it grew on them until now they absolutely love it. Floors voice was pulled back in the mix on purpose to make her seem as one of the voices of the ghosts of our ancestors. I would be willing to bet that if she ever does this song in concert that her vocals will be more forward in the mix. Many of the sound effects are for the video and I would be surprised indeed in they were included in any live performance that might take place in the future.
Great song Great reaction can't wait to see a live version of it.
Nice to see you back to Nightwish 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Your comment about this type of music not being “ background “ music is totally correct in my opinion! You need to be in that frame of mind that this music ( and Nightwish in particular) can satisfy. Good work guys !
Symphonic metal…and in particular Nightwish grows on you. After listening multiple times to this song for instance it just gets better and better. There is so much into these kind of songs you cant digest it all after just once listening to it.
🤘😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
...next time, take yours 🎧 vol down, not on Audio source, yt. Nightwish can't ewr be tooooo Loud 🔊🔛🔝 🤘😄👍💙🇫🇮
And so Great to see you 🤘 back on Nightwish 🎼✨
NICE 👍🤘☺
Ville is so great music video maker.
Rosalie Elliot gives a good analyse of this song. You're always entitled to give your opinion about the mixing of this song. Many do agree with you. You'll not being roasted....🤪
Nightwish dont dissapoint "did you feel the ghost energy song"
I listened to this song many many times by now, and it is one i like to listen to with my headphones or without, its really a good song, when i can do so to me. Some say Floors voice is low in the mix, and i can agree its hard to get all words she sing, but if you look at it soundwise it sounds amazing!! and after a listen or 2, you know most of lyrics, and its no problem at all, its done fully on purpose for the sound experince of it, and like shes part of the ancestor choir.. cant wait for rest of album!!
Yesterwynde is the opening track on new album, i belive its only like a intro, its a little over 2 min long, #2 on album then is a almost 10 min song, thats proberly another epic!! #3 is where i think they bring in a heavy track, and this Perfume of the timeless is #5.. so i think its gonna be a good mix of heavy songs, Epics, and maybe a full balled.. Perfume of the timeless, well its almonst a ghost energy song right, telling all these ancestors is perfume around in a timeless world, being around you still, also a message that your existens matters!! i feel tuomas also put in a little message that mankind could do better still, Einstein turn to ape..
The title of the album is a word made by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as the feeling of time, history, memory, and being connected to past generation, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe. And we're going to be in that state pretty soon as well. So that should give you something to think about."
Holopainen has described the album as being about humanism, history, and the inspiration thereof, and that outlook of the album is positive and optimistic ]

such awesome visuals at how savage the world was 5,000 bc or a very long time ago. but nature is metal here and anyone who loves anthropological stuff like myself and yes folks like charles darwin and richard dawkins are being taken seriously and thats good that mankind has come far enough and really there should be more emphasis on life than death and thats just one song so far can't wait to hear some more music until its out in september 20th
There is a remixed version by Nightwish Arena where Floor's vocals are mixed more to the front. It is much better, the songs really comes to life when you can hear Floor better!
PS. TIP: Ayreon has recently published a live version of "Fate of man" that will blow your socks off!
Hi, the song is great, the Video is great (but both together for the first time is hard.. focus just on Music and I am shure you will hear it again in your car 😉)
And Floor sung : WE ARE.. WE ... the lower sound is because these was a chor (also that the music was louder had a resaon)
and as NW-Fan you are right😂we are happy with that song. Thank you for Listen (and when ever they play it Live it will be a banger!)
Wished it was longer
HORNS! Love me some brass. The power of those horns in the third chorus come in like that meteor. Earth shattering.
Different strokes for different folks...it's only ONE song off an album...on any album there are going to be some songs that hit an individual and some not so much. I personally loved everything about this one. I thought the mix was just fine, I'm sure it was EXACTLY as Tuomas intended it to be. I've read that he intentionally mixed the vocals on THIS song so that Floor sounded as part of a choir in the chorus. Everyone is getting their panties in a knot about the mix for this song...RELAX, I'm sure the other songs on the album will be different and will appease those that don't like this ONE song.
Some probability calculations:
Step 1. Probability of boy meeting girl: one in 20,000.
Step 2. Probability of same boy knocking up same girl: one in 2000.
Step 3. Probability of right sperm meeting right egg: one in 400 quadrillion.
Step 4. Now lets assume that you have just those 12 generations of ancestors mentioned in the intro to this song. For the probability of every one of those 12 generations of your ancestors having reproduced successfully with right sperm having met the right egg is 400 quadrillion to the 12th power.
Given these 4 steps, the probability of you being born you at the present moment is 20k x 2k x 400 quadrillion to the 13th power. Going backwards in time with even more generations of your ancestors, we soon reach a probability of 1 divided by the number of atoms in the entire universe. This makes each one of us a unique miracle.
P.S. Most, if not all, of the free diving sections are taken from Guillaume Néry's short film "One Breath Around The World", which you can watch on his YT channel.
This song grows in You. It was very low 9/10 for me at the 1st listem. but now its beyond awesomenes \m/
wait for the moment Floor is going to sing this life!
Wait to see this play live.
Unfortunately….
Many fans wanted more Floor. It was done with an artistic purpose. You are both the perfume of the timeless. The essence of all of your ancestors. It is a much more artistic form of music. Storytelling at its musical best. Do you read short stories? A good song takes time to develop. IMHO
This is going to kill, live.
The song's message could be conveyed in less than 8 minutes, perhaps even in just 10 seconds, but this music is an artistic interpretation that necessitates the full 8 minutes. Some artists, such as writers and poets, might need an entire book to express the same message, while others might use a meme or disregard the message altogether.
Nice reaction👍,and yes you are right and no, you'r not getting roasted,I like the song and video many people have some criticism about the audio mix.
People say (i think Kai also)that it is /was a poëtic/philosophical choise to blend floor's voice in the music/choirs to make her part of the "ancestors".
For me, the poëtic/philosophical message is already in the lyrics and video and Tuomas (main producer) is a great composer/lyricist but i really have some legit criticism about his producer skils in this song. Some say its "over- produced" for others it's just about vocal volume or vocal clarity. Others say that tuomas intend it this way but,that doesn"t mean that'it's the right way.😉🤘 (hope,one day ,we can see this live,Nightwish,best served live🤘)
Good review, as always ...... but hey ....... it's Nightwish. And btw. more reactors are complaining about the balance between the vocals and instruments. Perhaps it will come to Tuomas and remaster this one.
Btw. You' guys are a little behind with AYREON!!
Two years ago you had a reaction on Arjen's STAR ONE's music video with Britney Slayes singing "Fate of Man".
Earlier this year Arje had a live concerts (well more than on) live concerts here in the Netherlands. A feew of these songs he already placed them on RUclips, so ......
STAR ONE (2024) *_”Fate of Man (01011001 - Live Beneath The Waves)”_* : ruclips.net/video/Qt9A4g2whCo/видео.html (Brittney Slayes)
STAR ONE (2024) *_”The Sixth Extinction (01011001 - Live Beneath The Waves)”_* : ruclips.net/video/HAJ0zTMLClQ/видео.html (a lot of singers)
STAR ONE (2024) *_”The Day That The World Breaks Down (01011001 - Live Beneath The Waves)”_* : ruclips.net/video/Ei4QjMN1y5g/видео.html (and agai .... a lot of singers).
There will be no new mix (mastering is wrong term). This is art, and this is how the artist Tuomas and the rest of NW wanted it. It is not an error. If you don’t like it, fine. Tuomas likes it this way. So should he follow your taste and trash his? Yep, I see that coming 😂
And remember, Floor is just another member of the band. NW is not a backing band for Floor 👍
I love this more and more on every like I listen to it.
@@TumppiJarnefelt Why so upset, making all kind of assumptions. I only made a remark about some other reactors (which is their right) ...... and NOT how I think about it. Read my comment again and you will read that I'm not trashing. ....... thank you.
@@MisterJ56 you wrote that maybe these comments about the levels of floors vocals reach Tuomas and then he might remaster (wrong term, mix is the right one) it… Did I read this somehow wrong?
The point is, Tuomas makes music as he likes. If someone does not like it then so be it. But that won’t change his mind.
And quite frankly, I don’t even understand what the whole fuss is about. I hear Floor very clearly. With my headphones, with my stereos, in my studio 🤷♂️
Floor is not dominant in the chorus, yes. But I see the reason very clearly. It adds up to the whole point of the song.
@@MisterJ56 i did understand your point, i think that remix will not occur, as said in this interview with the person responsible of the mastering
ruclips.net/video/ZCtnVtv0G3w/видео.htmlsi=91nKn8ALV4uIDpmu
Tuomas mix is perfect for this Song
No it's not. It may have been exactly what he intended (which I'm not disputing), but it's still a god-awful sounding mix to these ears and is definitely NOT perfect! It's an absolute mess. I know it's probably too late now and not likely to happen anyway, but I so wish they'd re-mix it for the actual CD release in September. There have already been several fan made remixes that lift the vocals somewhat (especially on the wonderful chorus) and those versions sound significantly better IMO. Let's be clear, I totally adore this song with a passion - I just hate the mix. Regardless, I will still buy the album without hesitation on release day because I love Nightwish. I suspect the rest of the album will be mixed differently and it's just this one particular song where Tuomas did what he did for the reason that he did it.
ruclips.net/video/ZCtnVtv0G3w/видео.htmlsi=kmyZrtbD-A0egQp4@@paulr1193
This ☝️ is an interview with the person that has mixed and mastered all of the Nightwish albums. He says it's exactly as it was meant to be.
@@dakken74 Yes, I literally acknowledged that it was intended that way. I just don't like it (the mix, that is - the song itself is awesome). Just a personal preference, that's all.
@@paulr1193 yes, you do acknowledge it, yet still say that it's God awful and total mess. I don't think a person with 30 years of mixing and mastering or an artist like Tuomas would release a song unless it was 100% perfect to their ears.
Nice to have you back with Nightwish😀my favorite reactors!👍😘
I think a few people are judging this song a bit harshly... If you're like me, you always listen to live Nightwish... Album versions are always a bit of a letdown after hearing the song live! Can't compare this to other Nightwish songs until they do a live version!
Wonder where you have been. I guess my picture tells you about my favorite band
Epic
It’s kind of interesting to me. I never hear anyone say well floor should be singing every single song. I mean Troy sings mostly and harvest and obviously Marco did a decent amount of singing so I mean, I don’t have a problem with the mix. I’m not gonna read all of these comments and buy into it. Everyone is saying everyone is entitled to their opinion, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. There’s some songs that Flo doesn’t sing at all and I don’t see people going off the rails about that so to me this isn’t that big of a deal.
Yeah too long, and that bloody Mozart, couldn't he have kept everything to 3/4 minutes - what a totally inane comment! However, overall i enjoyed your reaction, just that comment made me laugh out loud!
This is what unconstrained genius looks and sounds like. Tuomas is a visionary and he does exactly what he pleases and goes wherever his muse takes him. It's on us to keep up and follow along. That he leaves many behind is no surprise. This... this composition is fucking epic. And it's as deep as the Marianas Trench and with more layers than a baklava. You can watch and listen to this 50 times and still be rewarded with new information, new insights.
The owl - avatar of Athena, goddess of wisdom. Floors plunge and deep dive into a blank page an edition of Darwin’s On the Origin of the Species. The cloud of butterflies represents the myriad of the smallest events upon which our existence turns (the butterfly effect). The butterfly was also regarded as an emblem of the soul by the ancient Greeks. Layers and multiple meanings, folks.
Nightwish doesn’t make songs or albums - they publish portfolios of art where the nature of our existence is the subject matter. This, it would seem, has been disappointing to a number of the members of the community. If you’re here for the head bang, then you’re most likely going to be disappointed and you’ll find lesser amusements elsewhere. Tuomas and Nightwish doesn’t need your approval.
Tuomas is an erudite man with a deep love of this world and for this existence. He is a man hungry for comprehension, for understanding and for love. This existence is awesome if you take the time to grasp for understanding. The glittering beauty of mathematics, music as the voice of God, the natural world with its "endless forms most beautiful". It's all there for the beholding. But you have to reach out grasp it, you must have a savage thirst for comprehension as the price of admission.
Hi, I totally agree with your opinion about the song, I have three more suggestions of Nightwish songs for you. One is more of an homage to Pink Floyd, "High Hopes". I and many others think it's better than the original and it's only sung by Marko. Empu and Jukka shine on this song. I also wish you could give a reaction to "Song of myself" and "Dead Boys Poem".

Greetings from Germany
Just a moment in the mind blowing mind of Tuomas is fantastic what a composer 😊
Hey Guy's, Nice review again, Tuomas Is right up there with some of the greatest Music Composers ever to walk this earth, His mind is just Genius. sometimes, it is above what we all think, and can understand, But in All of his Music, which is much more than just songs, there is always a message, and a meaning in it. He is indeed The Metal Mozart of this genera of Music, and other stuff like the Auri Project he does with his wife Joanna, and Troy. The Video Is Amazing and its meaning, From the Vocal side of things, Tuomas was involved in the Mixing process, and He did not want Floor overpowering the other parts, instruments etc. Rather he wanted Her to blend in with the choir, But not to be above them. This is The 3rd and last Album, that forms part of the trilogy, Of his vision of the World that was, in the creation, and the World that is to come, You always give a good and Honest Review Which I deeply respect you for that. And Now Everyone is just waiting for the rest of the New Album to Drop, as we are led to believe from Kia, it is going to be very Heavy, Huge Drum Parts, Guitar Solo's etc, and of course Floor Jansen in Full Voice. ❤❤
You should really educate yourself about Mozart and what made him special - then you would probably not make this comparison. Tuomas is a great composer - well, maybe not in this song, but in general, but he is definitely not a mozart.
@flowq3874 Hey, for your information, whoever you are, I am a music and piano teacher of many years, and i play mozart and chopin music regularly. How about you. The Mozart comparison of Tuomas is made purely on the genius of all the different melodies that he puts into his music. Nothing more, and nothing less. And yes, I do know all about the masters of old. I can read you Know.
it seems with a lot of reactors and fans they all agree (for the most part) that the song and the meaning behind the song are great... but the mix kinda sucks, lol. I think there's a number of fans hoping the powers-that-be hear some/ see some of these comment and remix the album before it drops.
This interview with the person responsible of the mastering suggests that "remix" will not happen

@@paisa20 thank you for the link... that was very interesting!
a brilliant video yes but the sound mixing should be brilliant too its not the sound quality nightwish had usually in my mind
Intended or not, I don't like the effect. Reminds me of some 2SfH songs that were good when listening them from RUclips on PC in office :). Then I bought the CD, and it sounds horrible on my Marantz player with Canton stereo speaker or Sennheiser headset. And that's what I buy CDs for, and not iPod. Especially if it's symphonic rock. Beethoven sounds great on that hardware or John Lord, so they have to compare with that. Sure, I will look into the CD when it comes out, but if the mix stays as it is, I will not buy it. They just have to think for which audience they want to produce.
For info there is now a few recordings available on the tube where the vocal mix has been adjusted to bring floor forward.

There is an audio version with fixed vocal mix available on RUclips if you want to compare to the video.

I like that you guys are honest, for me too its not the best Nightwish song I have heard and mixing is really weird in this one. Also symphonic metal is something you dont want to listen every day. For me I need certain mindset to listen and also appreciate their music.
Its nice that you 2 noticed the weird mixing, its not NW style at all :/
Floor melted with the choir is a Nightwish thing, listen Story Time.
Glad its not just me that can't get excited about this song.
Sigh... People are going to hate me, the band is going to hate me if they ever see me... but bands need all the feedback, good and bad, and pretending something is 'genius' and blows you away just because you are determined to praise a band no matter what, no matter how badly they stumble, which I think I'm seeing a lot of with this band right now is something I'm just not wired for. By the time they've struggled, tweaked, compromised, not compromised, anguished, missed sleep, worried, celebrated, done and redone this and that and all that goes into these projects they can really lose perspective, and I love and respect them as people and artists. It's not just the mix. These guys have millions of dollars. They are rich enough to hire the world's best orchestras and the sound quality, entirely apart from the mix, at times is so bad it's as if something went seriously wrong, I mean it's almost unlistenable to me, and that's only two of at least 6 slams I could give it, but I don't have the heart. I'm astonished they would choose this as the first release. In my opinion it is flawed in multiple ways, some of them pretty deep and unfixable. Really hoping the rest of the album doesn't strike me as such a mess, and if it turns out that there really was something wrong with the process or equipment that they get it sorted out before it's too late. Be well, everyone.
Maybe read the lyrics for once? Music isn't only the song, lyrics tells the story in words...
I am a big fan of Nightwish and... i don't like this song 😕
Me neither. Which would not be a big deal at all, but what really strikes me is the hardcore fanbase that will tell you they accept your opinion, and then explain why it is wrong and why everything is intentionally great, that you will like it if you just pay more attention, and if you still don't like it, it is your fault.
@@flowq3874 I think I'm one of the "hardcore" NW fans. I love this song, though I'm not sure about mixing... Purposly done or not, I'm not too keen on that. I like to hear vocals and other stuff that is going on clearly.
But the song itself is beautiful.
And everybody has their own preferences, I'm cool with that.
Anyhow, I'm excited about what is coming 😁 I hope that it's hard'n'heavy, as promised 🤘😁🤘
My opinion is sure to be unpopular with many people but, IMO, the original music during the Floor era is not as good as the music prior to Floor. NOT a reflection on Floor at all, who’s ability, and contributions, are first-rate. It’s just an easy way to differentiate the eras of the band.
Tuomas is a brilliant composer but I think he’s missing the mark more than he used to. To be fair, it’s hard to consistently produce excellent epic compositions over and over again. You can look at the catalogs of countless progressive bands to see proof of that. Just my opinion, but I think you have to go back to Dark Passion Play & Imaginaerum to find the very peak of his brilliance.
Увидел как кривляется девушка сразу отписался и отключил видео... Удачи вам но ещё слабенькие в реакциях , не умеете приветствовать людей... Привет из Азии!
You come a little late. Approx 20 reactors already reacted in the first 3 days after release!
Elon Musk is a genius, yet the Cybertruck is trash. Nightwish is a great band and Tuomas is a fantastic composer, yet this song is very forgettable. I'm cheering to hear a song like GLS, Storytime, etc. etc. unfortunately the years are passing since those songs were born. You can be an artist and put out a great song, while being artisttic, no need for the "you don't understand the genius" defense. I'd have more respect for Nightwish fans if they didn't bow down at everything Tuomas writes as if he can't make a bad song - folks everyone has their ups and downs. If you don't like this I suggest you go back to your echo chamber of the NW fan boards and reassure yourself that this is a masterpiece.
Thanks, well put.
A real problem is also that the reactors enforce these echo chambers, because they know the fans only accept reactions that praise Tuomas as genius.
