Speechless. I cannot put into words my feelings about this band. Im 35 and ive listened to Nightwish for well over half my life. Ive been a part of their journey and they have been a part of mine. Long may it continue.
Same, man. I kind of got bored with them after Dark Passion Play, but I think Human Nature(the "Human" half) and this album are a nice evolution and a great new sound for them. If I want to hear Once, I'll listen to Once. So finally getting a new direction is refreshing to me, and the music is great quality.
It's the presence or absence of an upload like this that often determines whether or not I'll buy an album. Why should I buy something I haven't been able to listen to first?
@@Gamer2k4 the songs will almost always be uploaded, OP was talking specifically about a single upload of the whole continuous album instead of just each song individually.
@@jaykimjay True. But it's still nice to be able to listen to the official release on RUclips and make sure they get the views (and royalties), when not feeling like popping in the CD or being too lazy to load Winamp. As for going to their shows.... There won't be any for the foreseeable future :(
What a coherent and refined album. Just fantastic. To me this is an outstanding piece. Even in Nightwish standards. Mature, elegant, beautiful, thrilling, captivating.
Hiraeth and Lanterlight hurt so much... I lost my 6 month old baby girl last November. I don`t wish this kind of pain to anyone, not even to the worst human on earth. Hiraeth and Lanternlight hurts but they also carries and holds me trough the pain and sorrow. Kiitos Nightwish for this incredibly beautiful album which made me cry many times along this musical journey called Yesterwynde
@@reeilona I am truly sorry for your loss! Losing your own child is the most painful experience on earth 💕 I am lost on words, but I am glad that music can help you during this time! ❤️
My wife and I suffered a miscarriage this year with our first pregnancy. It still hurts, but Hiraeth has been a way for me to remember them but also process the loss I'm still feeling. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I didn't know Nightwish, as I wasn't particularly into this type of music. Their music piqued my interest, as my partner played it for me and I listened to them at first to make my partner happy and we went to Greece to see them live at the Release Athens Festival. That day, I fell in love with Nightwish, the way the played and their melodies. Their music feels like it doesn't belong to this century. It takes you on a journey, enchants you, and speaks to you about events and history. I've listened to almost all their songs, and I was eagerly awaiting their latest album. I, who didn't know them at all and didn't listen to this kind of music. This band takes me on a journey, calms me down, and keeps me company at work. Your new album is outstanding. The harmony of the music and the way the band has evolved is out of this world. I believe you've exceeded all expectations and brought in people like me who didn't know you or listen to this genre of music. I hope we get to hear this album LIVE, as it’s a piece of history that needs to be shared everywhere. It would be a shame if the world doesn't get the chance to hear you. I wish you all good health, and thank you for the magic you share with us. 🤩🤩🤩
I saw them live in Athens before 20 years. With Queensryche and Judas Priest together... June of 2004. I was in love with Nightwish from their very first album. And to watch them live was something undescivable. Epic night. I feel the same today every time i watch them (live or in videos).
Handshake 😁 I have favorite tracks on all albums, been to several concerts through the years, and after a long time I'll blow the dust from my old carcass and go again !
I first encountered Nightwish back in 1999, with the album Oceanborn. Blew me away instantly. Yesterwynde has been on repeat here constantly, I think it's a great album. These talented guys and gals have been at it for a long time, you cannot expect them to do the same thing over and over again. Would be boring. Floor somewhere said something along the lines of "don't put us in a box. Just listen to the album" To me Nightwish has always been just that, a band that cannot be put in a box. They create music, art, as they like. As they should. I take my hat off to you, Nightwish. Kiitos for the last 25+ years. Onwards!
Huge fan of Jukka and miss him, but goddam delivered hard with this album. Feels like the first time that Toumas really managed to bring out the entire beast that is Kai.
The album is completely crazy, with an intense atmospheric rhythm, with calm parts but also with very heavy ones. Very complete. The musicians are all to be congratulated, they all did an excellent job.
I just finished listening (I wanted to create the right environment for listening to the album for the first time - in the bosom of nature, where no one disturbs me) and I love it!!!❤❤❤ I was moved to another universe... and when I finished, I was very disappointed that I had to come back to reality..🥹 I can't wait to hear it all in concert!🥰🔥🤘❤️
@@Iainmaclennan70 Their taking a break not retiring. I also look forward to the new songs being performed live. Troy has even said they also are itching to play these songs live.
Kuuntelin levyn yöllä pimeässä metsässä, koiran kanssa ulkoillessa, täysikuun valossa ja revontulien loistaessa järven yllä. Täydellinen Nightwish hetki sekä mahtava albumi ❤
@HeimlicherNATOaustrittFrieden für alle ❤️ Peace for all . Hier ist dafür kein Platz . Metal hat keine Richtung, auch wenn es dunkel scheint. Ich wünsche mir Frieden für alle Menschen der Welt
Yes, it gets better and better with each and every listen. Neither of the 3 early release singles which are great get in to my top 5 from this album. That's how good I rhink it is. 👍😊
After hearing lots of people complaining about the single releases, i was a bit afraid of how the OP was going to be. I am shamed of myself for having doubts about Nightwish. Yestewynde is AWESOME.
After hearing the two singles from the album released earlier I had the same thought. Oh my, no, that wasn't my stuff. But now after being able to listening the complete album, which Nightwish uploaded for us all to hear I wonder, why they didn't release other tracks. Alone track 2 is so cool. The end of this track gave me literally goosebumps. Reminds me partly of Storytime Album, which was amazing from writing, lyrics, the complete score amazing. And now they are doing it literally again. Absolut epic. They do the amazing thing again: To get a track into your mind you have to listen to the whole track, not only a part of it. 30 second try outs for listening could never ever fulfill that. I am buying the album right now. So to everyone out there: If you listen to this and you'll like it, be so fair to buy it please! Nightwish deserves this really! 🥰
Another album that has completely blown me away, beautiful orchestral moments, stunning guitars, epic drums, harmonizing keyboards, delicate choir and then theres Floor with her magical delicate as well as powerful vocals. Wow just Wow. Love you Nightwish thanks for another amazing album.
What a great production. The more you listen to it, the better it sounds. I received my Earbook version yesterday. Congratulations with this wonderful production Nightwish. Greetings from the Netherlands 💗
My child and I listened to the entirety of this masterpiece the very moment it released and I'm still amazed. What a beautiful, touching, thought-provoking album. "The Children of 'Ata" has the potential to become my new favourite and take over "Perfume of the Timeless" but that's still a MAYBE 😆 Frankly, Yesterwynde is not what I was expecting but absolutely not in a negative way. I'm so happy you guys continue to experiment with your style and evolve! Also, love all the Floor + Troy duets on this album, the harmonies are so wonderful! THANK YOU for this incredible adventure 💚💛
Tuomas you heal my soul when I needed the most. This album brings me the heal and the hope that my soul was screaming for since 2021. I can feel the warmth of your lyrics, this vehicle of spirit carries not only you guys, but the whole NW world. We are still here.
Words cannot express how deeply this album penetrates my heart, opening it wide and triggering feelings of depth, happiness, euphoria and love. Every song is a masterpiece of composition and performance. Music that I can't get out of my head, even now. With Yesterwynde you have once again achieved a great success. Nightwish, I love your music.❤
I'm re-listening to the album while I wait for my pre-ordered physical copy to arrive. I translated, using my cell phone, the lyrics of the songs one at a time into my preferred language as I listened to them. A Masterpiece. Poetry to read and listen to.💓
Who else noticed that "The Weave" is not only a palindrom in terms of lyrics, but so is its number in the albom -11th and even time! It`s 4:54 minutes long. And this Grieg`s "Morning" musical references give me chills! It`s like Halloween dark and spooky version of the "Morning". For me, it`s even darker than "Ghost River". It`s like real experience of dying and rebirth. Genious!
STOP STOP STOP. This not fair - how the hell do other bands compete with this. Unbelievably BRILLIANT.. Wow - Thuomas bravo. Floor, Empuu, Jukka, Troy and Kai - Bravo. Of this work you can be justifiably proud. A legendary album in just one week of release.
To give us a fair reason to really listen to it, before we buy it. So I did buy it a minute ago and absolutely love it! For me the best album since Storytime. Floor's Voice really amazing. Absolutely great album.
Nightwish Army, Indonesia here. I just have to say, this album is a masterpiece. It certainly tugs on the heartstrings and rocks at the same time. Tuomas, you are indeed a genius.... as if we didn't already know!
Been a Nightwish fan since 90s when they were kicking @$s with Oceanborn(!) during my youth. Back then I was blown away by the potential of this band 'cause me and my friends were hearing "simple" metal and rock things like Maiden, Priest, AC/DC, Van Halen etc, Major exceptions like SAVATAGE (especially the Criss Oliva era) and later on Symphony X and Evergrey and other Scandinavian bands who were born almost at the same time like Nightwish. 25+ years later as i am waiting for the physical copy of Yesterwynde as I've always did (being "a walk-man and discman era" kid) I'm listening to it through this "internet crap thing" and I can tell you 2 things: 1st) This is the best "mix" of Nightwish. If you want to introduce Nightwish to someone, give em this record. IMHO stands right in "the middle" of their career as far as music and orchestration is concerned. and 2) No matter which Nightwish "era" you prefer, let's not argue that: TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A MUSICAL GENIUS! Last but Not Least: Thank God (or whatever you believe in), for witnessing the existence of Nightwish in this very short timeline of the universe. and STAY STRONG. Life is very short! Cheers
It's a solid album. At first, it sounded chaotic with too much going on - I felt lost and almost disappointed, missing the "old" Nightwish from it - but after a few listens it grew on me. With time I started to like and appreciate the songs one by one, starting with An Ocean of Strange Islands (instant hit) closely followed by Antikythera Mechanism, Spider Silk, then Perfume of the Timeless, The Weave and Children of Ata. Soon after I caught myself humming Hiraeth and Lanternlight, and I am warming up to the rest as well. To me, this album is harder to digest and maybe not as catchy on the first listen as the older albums were but nonetheless, it's something special and I am grateful for it. ❤
I agree with you. This album requires some listenings to understand better the layers of content, but is a really solid work. And as you said, it s has something special in this sound. For me, its a very immersive and enjoyable album that is clearly complex with a lot of things going on simultaneously. My favorite tracks An Ocean Of Strange Islands, Antikythera Mechanism, The Day Of, Spider Silk, The Children Of Ata and Hiraeth.
The last three NW albums have been like that. The melodies are complicated and seem a bit off at first. It’s on about the fifth or sixth listen that everything starts making sense. I will take a long tim to get my head around Antikythera especially.
Definitely the same as you guys, I was almost disappointed because the last two albums with Floor have really high standards and it is hard to reach that level with this one, but listening to it more and more it becomes more catchy and fruity.
Definately oposite: I loved moust songs for rhe first hearing, and nearly all the rest for aecond or the listening. What really is difficult to "get in" to these sons? P.S. I still don' care so much about Hiraeth and Lanternlight but so what? Eight fantastic songs , twoi very good. It is five times more great music than in album these days..
I was expecting a damn good album... what I got was an absolute masterclass!!! It's damn near perfection! Congratulations and thank you Nightwish 🇬🇧❤️🇫🇮❤️🇳🇱
I am always struck by how, on top of the music, Tuomas so often has these brillant thoughts hitting like lightning. In 'Something Whispered Follow Me': "Stardust to dust, a tapestry in between", "Go find your mountain, go build a graveyard with a view". Really a poet with the words, the music, and the two together
I discovered Nightwish in 2004 and you knocked my socks off! I love Yesterwynde, the songs are different, but yet so Nightwish. Lanternlight made me cry, so beautiful. Thank you for amazing beautiful music, experinces and memories ❤
I understand the reasons and why the band needs some time off, it's absolutely understandable, I think most and/or many of us think the same. But I have to say something, and that is that this YW album, will need a tour sooner or later, it can't NOT have a tour, it's a very good album, and live it will be the ‘next level’ of NW... Bravo!!!
Aivan mahtava levy,jota osasimme odottaa jo eka lohkasulta,se soi päässä,yöt ja päivät monta viikkoa.Torstaina sit mieheni kanssa kuunneltiin ihan tärinässä,kolme kertaa peräkkäin et mitä ihmettä❤Oliko sit niin räjäyttävä et aamulla heräsin kuumeessa🤭Hahton rummutus yhes biisis on niin KOVA,et mietittiin et soittaako se jaloillakin🤣Kiitos Nightwish,ja eritotenTuomas ku oot luonu vuosiksi eteenpäin jotain kuunneltavaa,sanokoon kriitikot ja muut *viisaat*mitä haluavat.Ootte meidän koko perheen fanittama ja onneks saimme nähdä myös livenä,Vaasas..Ja Floorhan on paras naisartisti..❤
An Ocean of Strange Islands, The Antikythera Mechanism, The Weave and Lanternlight ❤ The first two were instant likes, the last two didn't take long to grow on me. A wonderful album overall...
a year ago discovered Nightwish after watching the video on RUclips of floor Jansen and Henk Poort in the best singers I started listening to music from night wish with Floor Jansen on RUclips the music and shows touched me and that with my 70 years now there are already several CDs in the cupboard and every time I listen to them I am happy and sometimes moved by the beauty of the music and singing I can't wait until the new CD yesterwynde can close in my CD player and will certainly be several times in a row Thank you Nightwish for the beautiful and good music
I listen to it now everytime I go to the gym for running....and yes, I run fast and full of joy, like running over clouds and sometimes for my life...what a powerful and emotional album. Lots of love and many thanks for your music! 🥰
This is the most beautiful ending to the trilogy that I could have dreamed of. For me this is a complete album. I have no other words, only: thank you.
back in 1997 I was 13 years old when my older brother came home with Angels Fall First, been a lifelong fan ever since and it is wild how you guys keep evolving, this album is bloody excellent! thank you for uploading it whole and much love from Oulu!!
@@mariettalyon there were 2 hints at that from Kai and Tuomas in interviews I saw. Like their lyrics you had to interpret them but hey, hope it happens
Lanternlight breaks my heart so much. Thank you Nightwish for being with me for 15 long years. You gave me so many beautiful memories, and helped me to become who I am today. 🤧 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
Lots of really good moments in this album! I've been a Nightwish fan since 1999 and this album has a lot of the "catchy" moments from that time, in a different shape but a very good one. Songs like "The Antikythera Mechanism", "An Ocean Of Strange Islands" and "Something Whispered Follow Me" are good examples of this "old and new" mix!
Wow! Welcome back Nightwish! Wondered what you will come up next but this sure beats all expectations. This album can't be described/explained to anyone and give it the credit it deserves. For Nightwish fans this is a continuation of an amazing journey that, thankfully, has no end in sight. In fact, it is almost scary to think what follows this album but, hey, I will wait. In the meantime, I will be annoying as many people as I can by playing this over and over...yet, it won't take long until they also are converts to this utter perfection...I will now turn the lights off, turn up the volume and dissolve into this magical world Tuomas has, yet again, shared with us. Thank you and, please, we are waiting in Perth for you....
My God! I couldn't have cried more with "Lanternlight". We are nothing in this life... yet we are every single creature who has ever existed. Thank you for this beautiful gift. :')
The more I listen to the album, the more I love it. It's very complete and strong. Lanternlight is still one of my favorite, I got chills with Floor's voice and the lyrics. This album is a voyage to the past. Now it has sense the album cover, the feeling of past, the sailboat, everything
Do you get the Tuomas déjà vu moments, references and "Easter Eggs"? He weaves them in for us to discover, to get more out of it, creating a personal connection.
Yet another Nightwish album that has sent chills down my spine, awed and inspired, and brought me to tears, all over the course of 71 minutes. Thank you, Nightwish, for reminding me of the beauty in this world.
Well, I hadn't been too sure about this album from a couple of the previously released tracks, but listening to it as a whole, in the order that Tuomas intended... WOW! This is brilliant. The composition and instrumentation are utterly fantastic (loving Troy's contributions particularly - not too shabby for a "Bad Shepherd" gone good). And what can I say about Floor - already the greatest singer in rock history IMO, she has raised the bar again.
I was hoping this album would be good, and I can happily say that Nightwish have delivered. This album is awesome. I will definitely be buying this one.
There is a very large amount of things in this current time period I feel thankful for, and I feel quite privileged to live now. Nightwish is absolutely one of them.
I'm gonna buy this album. And if you plan a tour in France, for the first time in my life, count me as one of the public, crying heartful tears of combined emotions.
Hello from Liverpool. I am loving this new album. A big thank you to all involved in producing this masterpiece. This will probably be a major part of my soundtrack to this autumn. I am awaiting surgery and dark nights. Music will play a big role in my recovery. And Nightwish will play a huge part. Take care, all who read this. And please ... BE KIND ...
Same you dier friend i want to say - Hay from Ukrenia, Odessa city!!! Your comment so specified ...like you are boss of f all in this album....im 48 years old, im so much like Nightwish and Tarja separated or together!!! Rial fan i feel from all way !!!! You are somewhere...not Sweden...how its working i don't know .... My 2 douter in Sweden,but for Tarja or Nightwish ... Only one interested....My girls so ...
My album of the year, most definitely! The Antikythera Mechanism is one of the best songs ever released by Nightwish, in my opinion. Of the trilogy, this is the strongest album!
COMMENT IF YOU FEEL IDENTIFIED: ❤❤❤ To Nightwish: A Journey Together Through Music From the moment I first heard Nightwish, my life changed forever. Your music became the spark that ignited my passion for music, inspiring me to form my own band. Through every high and low, your songs have been a constant companion, guiding me, comforting me, and fueling my creativity. 🎹❤🩹🎵 Your lyrics resonate with my soul, painting pictures of worlds where dreams and reality intertwine. Each note, each word, has been a part of my growth, a part of who I am today. I've not just listened to your music - I’ve lived it - Nightwish is more than a band to me... you are a profound part of my existence. I feel like I am a small piece of the story you tell, as much as your music has become woven into the fabric of my life. Thank you for the inspiration, the emotions, and the unforgettable moments. Your music will forever be the soundtrack of my journey. 🎶🎶🎶🎶 With deep gratitude, I love you guys! Amazing work! 🥰
Imaginerum was my hook into the group.... They brought a perspective of what my G-mother went thru during her last couple of years of life. I saw Floor for the first time during her debut in Seattle... I've been riding their train ever since.
You put into words exactly what Nightwish means to me. By chance I found the Amaranth video that someone had shared on Facebook in August 2011. And my life was never the same again, they are part of my everyday life, and I am so grateful for that.
They have been my favorite band since "Sleeping Sun". Tuomas is a genius. By the end of this album, I was a quivering bowl of emotional Jello. All the members past and present, have been great! Thank you!
I joined the Nightwish movement in 2022. My life has been chaotic since long before that. They helped me find some stability and contentment in a small measure. Human Nature will be hard to top, but it sounds like they had no problem doing that. Chalk another banger up to the Titans from Finland. Definitely worth the wait.
This is a unique album filled with emotions and energy!!! THE BEST IN THEIR STYLE!!! I listen and admire!!!! Thank you from Russia, we are not enemies, believe me!!!
Floor is known for her powerful and lofty high notes, but Lanternlight really shows off her rich lower voice wonderfully, and the orchestration (and skilled mixing/production) allows plenty of space for all of her emotional nuances to shine. Of course, her transitions from high to low and back again seem effortless. Endless range most beautiful! Some Nightwish songs sound as though Tuomas wrote them and then handed them over expectantly to see how the vocalist would handle them. This song employs Floor's voice to such great effect that it feels like he wrote it for her to sing. A fine finish to this mighty work.
I think Tuomas always writes the songs with the strengths of the current singer in mind. Strong, operatic notes for Tarja, something a bit more lighter to fit Annette's voice and now whatever serves the song, Floor can sing it all.
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Oh, yes - he's keenly aware of their ranges and tonal qualities for sure. What I was (perhaps inadequately) trying to express is that some songs seem almost like a test or demonstration of the vocalist (not solely as an exercise - the art is still front and center) where their virtuosity becomes a focal point. For me, this track feels like it's powered more by feelings, and that Tuomas knew that Floor could convey those in a way that only she could. How fortunate are we to be here to listen?!
Most poignant and beautiful album you've ever made by a wide margin. It brings me to tears in a way that only The Greatest Show on Earth has done before it.
It is a majestic album with beautiful music. Congratulations Nightwish 😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
Месяц назад+10
Nightwish simply outdid themselves. It was worth the wait for Yesterwynde. It is a masterpiece. Alpha and Omega. And once again I say, without blasphemy, that Tuomas is Metal Mozart Clone. Genius. That's it. Like the aforementioned genius Mozart, such a thing is born once every 500 years.
Perhaps the most cohesive Nightwish album to date and with the highest concentration of good songs. They really outdid themselves this time. A masterpiece imho.
I wonder if there’s a word that describes a feeling of connecting to something great, timeless, being in the flow with the universe? That's how I feel now. I just listened to the album twice -- first for the music, and second for the lyrics. Made me cry and gave me shivers so many times. Great poetry, great stories, amazing spectacle, and it warms my heart to feel that we are in the same flow. I hope to see a tour with the symphonic orchestra when you guys are ready to tour again. This will be epic.
I've finally bought it and finally listened to it. I'm crying and I don't know why. Thank you so much. I have no words. It's absolutely beautiful and full of emotions. I rememer why | love you, Nightwish. Thank you for all your music throughout the years. You've given me so much. And you've shown me again what you mean to me. Just... thank you. See you live soon.
With great music you expect a journey, Tuomas and Nightwish has provided a first-class trip with this album ending with the finest piece of music I have heard in Lanternlight. Thanks to the entire band for this masterpiece!
I waited two weeks to listen to this album because I was travelling. I wanted to sit and immerse myself fully into it for my first experience. I am so glad I did. Thank you, Tuomas, and thank you Nightwish. What a stunningly beautiful album. I find it the most wonderful irony when people say Nightwish has changed. They have released songs and albums now about evolution yet expect the band and songwriter to not evolve. Were you not listening?
Speechless. I cannot put into words my feelings about this band. Im 35 and ive listened to Nightwish for well over half my life. Ive been a part of their journey and they have been a part of mine. Long may it continue.
.... without Tarja they have bacame way worse
They are still great btw.....
@@egcozinon nah they evolved.
Same, man. I kind of got bored with them after Dark Passion Play, but I think Human Nature(the "Human" half) and this album are a nice evolution and a great new sound for them. If I want to hear Once, I'll listen to Once. So finally getting a new direction is refreshing to me, and the music is great quality.

It was 1998. Came Oceanborn. I grew old. I fell in love with Imagenaerium. Today I fell in love again. Great album. 💓.. Speechless

it is an amazing gift to upload a brand new album this early. Will definitely buy physical as well.
Kuuntelin levyn yöllä pimeässä metsässä, koiran kanssa ulkoillessa, täysikuun valossa ja revontulien loistaessa järven yllä. Täydellinen Nightwish hetki sekä mahtava albumi ❤
Kuulostaa hienolle täältä Hesasta katsoen mut eihän skutta oo pimee jos siellä on tarjolla revontulia ja kuu 😅 🤘
@@enjoylife756 Kyllä se mettä pimeä aina on vaikka mitä valoja öisellä taivaalla loistaisi 😂
Nytkin kadehdin sinua ja koiraasi! ✌🏻🔱🇺🇦🕊️
Without me 😢
@HeimlicherNATOaustrittFrieden für alle ❤️ Peace for all .
Hier ist dafür kein Platz . Metal hat keine Richtung, auch wenn es dunkel scheint. Ich wünsche mir Frieden für alle Menschen der Welt
Whole album upload including lyrics from the official channel!! :o
I always buy their music even if I give it a listen on RUclips too and agree in supporting our creators ❤
Limited Edition, with Intrumental and Orchestral versions?
Then go back to the album, again!
Only listen to this version guys, don't go on other chanelles. Support your bands if you can't afford to buy it.
I do both but I am fed up with the DR war.
I listen before I buy that is how i shop with my ears
@@ioanabuzz didn’t they improve the system years ago to redirect the money to the original artist?
Hello to all, greetings from Germany. And Peace for the whole world. And thanks to Nightwish for the great music. ❤
Auch Dir, Grüsse und einen herzlichen Friedenswunsch.
Die Welt braucht das so dringend...
@@bernd.reichel Peace to you as well. ✌️
Meine Frau: "Was wünscht du dir zu Weihnachten.." Ich: (sing).."Ein bißchen Frieden, ein bißchen..😥.."
I felt lost for so long, but thanks to Nightwish, I have finally rediscovered my love for music. Thank you for yet another amazing album!
This album, with all the little details, is a masterpiece. You need several listens to get a grasp of it.
Yes, it gets better and better with each and every listen. Neither of the 3 early release singles which are great get in to my top 5 from this album. That's how good I rhink it is. 👍😊
And again, my obsession with Nightwish continues unabated.
Sometimes you stand in awe, stunned and mezmerised with what you come to meet in life. Yesterwynde is that, whole album.
more one listens, more addictive it becomes, deeper gets into his soul. Truly a masterpiece!
turn on the sound dude
Absolutely 💯 ❤.
This album is magical ✨️ 😍 😊
Already bought the album. Just came here to say it's amazing.
Me too. Bought the CD from Amazon, and they had the digital copy on my phone three days ago!
@@dr.maturin4648 me too too:-) it is a masterpiece!!!
After hearing lots of people complaining about the single releases, i was a bit afraid of how the OP was going to be. I am shamed of myself for having doubts about Nightwish. Yestewynde is AWESOME.
After hearing the two singles from the album released earlier I had the same thought. Oh my, no, that wasn't my stuff. But now after being able to listening the complete album, which Nightwish uploaded for us all to hear I wonder, why they didn't release other tracks. Alone track 2 is so cool. The end of this track gave me literally goosebumps. Reminds me partly of Storytime Album, which was amazing from writing, lyrics, the complete score amazing. And now they are doing it literally again. Absolut epic. They do the amazing thing again: To get a track into your mind you have to listen to the whole track, not only a part of it. 30 second try outs for listening could never ever fulfill that. I am buying the album right now. So to everyone out there: If you listen to this and you'll like it, be so fair to buy it please! Nightwish deserves this really! 🥰
Another album that has completely blown me away, beautiful orchestral moments, stunning guitars, epic drums, harmonizing keyboards, delicate choir and then theres Floor with her magical delicate as well as powerful vocals. Wow just Wow. Love you Nightwish thanks for another amazing album.
yo no se de que se quejan par o tres bobos hijueputas, llevo escuchando esta album 24/7 es increible todo lo que ofrece a nive sonoro
What a great production. The more you listen to it, the better it sounds.
I received my Earbook version yesterday.
Congratulations with this wonderful production Nightwish.
Greetings from the Netherlands 💗
What an incredible album. Nightwish has reached an unbelievable peak of musical creativity and performance.
My child and I listened to the entirety of this masterpiece the very moment it released and I'm still amazed. What a beautiful, touching, thought-provoking album. "The Children of 'Ata" has the potential to become my new favourite and take over "Perfume of the Timeless" but that's still a MAYBE 😆 Frankly, Yesterwynde is not what I was expecting but absolutely not in a negative way. I'm so happy you guys continue to experiment with your style and evolve! Also, love all the Floor + Troy duets on this album, the harmonies are so wonderful! THANK YOU for this incredible adventure 💚💛
Tuomas you heal my soul when I needed the most. This album brings me the heal and the hope that my soul was screaming for since 2021. I can feel the warmth of your lyrics, this vehicle of spirit carries not only you guys, but the whole NW world. We are still here.
Words cannot express how deeply this album penetrates my heart, opening it wide and triggering feelings of depth, happiness, euphoria and love. Every song is a masterpiece of composition and performance. Music that I can't get out of my head, even now. With Yesterwynde you have once again achieved a great success. Nightwish, I love your music.❤
Whole album is just ❤️😘😘❤️genious as always. 😘🇫🇮
I'm re-listening to the album while I wait for my pre-ordered physical copy to arrive. I translated, using my cell phone, the lyrics of the songs one at a time into my preferred language as I listened to them. A Masterpiece. Poetry to read and listen to.💓
Who else noticed that "The Weave" is not only a palindrom in terms of lyrics, but so is its number in the albom -11th and even time! It`s 4:54 minutes long. And this Grieg`s "Morning" musical references give me chills! It`s like Halloween dark and spooky version of the "Morning". For me, it`s even darker than "Ghost River". It`s like real experience of dying and rebirth. Genious!
Brilliant!
STOP STOP STOP. This not fair - how the hell do other bands compete with this. Unbelievably BRILLIANT.. Wow - Thuomas bravo. Floor, Empuu, Jukka, Troy and Kai - Bravo. Of this work you can be justifiably proud. A legendary album in just one week of release.
Tuomas and Emppu, not Thuomas and Empuu. Otherwise I agree.
To give us a fair reason to really listen to it, before we buy it. So I did buy it a minute ago and absolutely love it! For me the best album since Storytime. Floor's Voice really amazing. Absolutely great album.
Nightwish Army, Indonesia here. I just have to say, this album is a masterpiece. It certainly tugs on the heartstrings and rocks at the same time. Tuomas, you are indeed a genius.... as if we didn't already know!
Are there many fans in Indonesia?
Not that I know of. I'm a Brit living here with my Indonesian wife so that's why I'm here..... Lol
Indonesian Nightwish lover here! 🤟
Been a Nightwish fan since 90s when they were kicking @$s with Oceanborn(!) during my youth.
Back then I was blown away by the potential of this band 'cause me and my friends were hearing "simple" metal and rock things
like Maiden, Priest, AC/DC, Van Halen etc,
Major exceptions like SAVATAGE (especially the Criss Oliva era) and later on Symphony X and Evergrey and other Scandinavian bands who were born almost at the same time like Nightwish.
25+ years later as i am waiting for the physical copy of Yesterwynde as I've always did (being "a walk-man and discman era" kid)
I'm listening to it through this "internet crap thing" and I can tell you 2 things:
1st) This is the best "mix" of Nightwish. If you want to introduce Nightwish to someone, give em this record.
IMHO stands right in "the middle" of their career as far as music and orchestration is concerned. and
2) No matter which Nightwish "era" you prefer, let's not argue that:
TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A MUSICAL GENIUS!
Last but Not Least:
Thank God (or whatever you believe in), for witnessing the existence of Nightwish in this very short timeline of the universe.
and STAY STRONG. Life is very short!
Cheers
Just listened to the album and WOW….So much food for thought and so many emotions….. THANK YOU TUOMAS, THANK YOU NIGHTWISH!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's a solid album. At first, it sounded chaotic with too much going on - I felt lost and almost disappointed, missing the "old" Nightwish from it - but after a few listens it grew on me. With time I started to like and appreciate the songs one by one, starting with An Ocean of Strange Islands (instant hit) closely followed by Antikythera Mechanism, Spider Silk, then Perfume of the Timeless, The Weave and Children of Ata. Soon after I caught myself humming Hiraeth and Lanternlight, and I am warming up to the rest as well.
To me, this album is harder to digest and maybe not as catchy on the first listen as the older albums were but nonetheless, it's something special and I am grateful for it. ❤
I agree with you. This album requires some listenings to understand better the layers of content, but is a really solid work. And as you said, it s has something special in this sound. For me, its a very immersive and enjoyable album that is clearly complex with a lot of things going on simultaneously. My favorite tracks An Ocean Of Strange Islands, Antikythera Mechanism, The Day Of, Spider Silk, The Children Of Ata and Hiraeth.
The last three NW albums have been like that. The melodies are complicated and seem a bit off at first. It’s on about the fifth or sixth listen that everything starts making sense. I will take a long tim to get my head around Antikythera especially.
Definitely the same as you guys, I was almost disappointed because the last two albums with Floor have really high standards and it is hard to reach that level with this one, but listening to it more and more it becomes more catchy and fruity.
Definately oposite: I loved moust songs for rhe first hearing, and nearly all the rest for aecond or the listening. What really is difficult to "get in" to these sons? P.S. I still don' care so much about Hiraeth and Lanternlight but so what? Eight fantastic songs , twoi very good. It is five times more great music than in album these days..
Уникален и завладяващ албум, много силно ме докосна в сърцето и развълнува! Браво! Харесвам и обичам всичко, което Найтуиш правят!
Это сербский?)
I was expecting a damn good album... what I got was an absolute masterclass!!! It's damn near perfection! Congratulations and thank you Nightwish 🇬🇧❤️🇫🇮❤️🇳🇱
Just like that❤️🇫🇮
I am always struck by how, on top of the music, Tuomas so often has these brillant thoughts hitting like lightning. In 'Something Whispered Follow Me':
"Stardust to dust, a tapestry in between",
"Go find your mountain, go build a graveyard with a view".
Really a poet with the words, the music, and the two together
Masterpiece, thank you nightwish for including a part of our greek history to an historical album like this.
I discovered Nightwish in 2004 and you knocked my socks off! I love Yesterwynde, the songs are different, but yet so Nightwish. Lanternlight made me cry, so beautiful. Thank you for amazing beautiful music, experinces and memories ❤
I understand the reasons and why the band needs some time off, it's absolutely understandable, I think most and/or many of us think the same. But I have to say something, and that is that this YW album, will need a tour sooner or later, it can't NOT have a tour, it's a very good album, and live it will be the ‘next level’ of NW...
Bravo!!!
Im proud Nightwish fan since 1997 🤘
Aivan mahtava levy,jota osasimme odottaa jo eka lohkasulta,se soi päässä,yöt ja päivät monta viikkoa.Torstaina sit mieheni kanssa kuunneltiin ihan tärinässä,kolme kertaa peräkkäin et mitä ihmettä❤Oliko sit niin räjäyttävä et aamulla heräsin kuumeessa🤭Hahton rummutus yhes biisis on niin KOVA,et mietittiin et soittaako se jaloillakin🤣Kiitos Nightwish,ja eritotenTuomas ku oot luonu vuosiksi eteenpäin jotain kuunneltavaa,sanokoon kriitikot ja muut *viisaat*mitä haluavat.Ootte meidän koko perheen fanittama ja onneks saimme nähdä myös livenä,Vaasas..Ja Floorhan on paras naisartisti..❤
An Ocean of Strange Islands, The Antikythera Mechanism, The Weave and Lanternlight ❤
The first two were instant likes, the last two didn't take long to grow on me. A wonderful album overall...
Those are my favorites plus Yesterwynde as an opening! 🔥🎶
a year ago discovered Nightwish after watching the video on RUclips of floor Jansen and Henk Poort in the best singers I started listening to music from night wish with Floor Jansen on RUclips the music and shows touched me and that with my 70 years now there are already several CDs in the cupboard and every time I listen to them I am happy and sometimes moved by the beauty of the music and singing I can't wait until the new CD yesterwynde can close in my CD player and will certainly be several times in a row Thank you Nightwish for the beautiful and good music
listen "nightwish waken live 2013" - the best performance live of the decade- enjoy
@@francesconadiani4845agreed, GLS in particular.
I listen to it now everytime I go to the gym for running....and yes, I run fast and full of joy, like running over clouds and sometimes for my life...what a powerful and emotional album. Lots of love and many thanks for your music! 🥰
Same here. I'm in the gym right now, working out and listening the best Nightwish album ever! So much positive vibes, so much energy, love it! ❤
Running to Nightwish is probably one of my favorite things to do in life, so exhilarating!
Never have I heard such a beautifully crafted and melodic piece such as this I love it thank you night wish from a very relaxed 69year old man.
Only 66 here and thinking same way!
This is the most beautiful ending to the trilogy that I could have dreamed of. For me this is a complete album. I have no other words, only: thank you.
The more I listen to this album, the more beautiful it gets!
Incredible, everything I want to write doesn't come close to what I'm feeling after listening to this. Privileged to hear this. Thankyou Nightwish.
back in 1997 I was 13 years old when my older brother came home with Angels Fall First, been a lifelong fan ever since and it is wild how you guys keep evolving, this album is bloody excellent!
thank you for uploading it whole and much love from Oulu!!
If I saw this masterpiece performed LIVE with an ORCHESTRA I would die happy ❤
I have this strange feeling that 2026 (30th anniversary) will make this long awaited dream come true even if for a few dates in London & NY. 🫰
@@PhilippeFuhrer-i9d I really really hope your feeling is right, cause I would travel all over the world to experience this✨🤘🔥
That's what I thought too 🍀🍀🥹🖤
@@mariettalyon there were 2 hints at that from Kai and Tuomas in interviews I saw. Like their lyrics you had to interpret them but hey, hope it happens
Lanternlight breaks my heart so much. Thank you Nightwish for being with me for 15 long years. You gave me so many beautiful memories, and helped me to become who I am today. 🤧
Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
Lots of really good moments in this album! I've been a Nightwish fan since 1999 and this album has a lot of the "catchy" moments from that time, in a different shape but a very good one. Songs like "The Antikythera Mechanism", "An Ocean Of Strange Islands" and "Something Whispered Follow Me" are good examples of this "old and new" mix!
IT IS AN EXCELLENT ALBUM AND IT HAS SONGS FROM BEGINNING TO END THEY ARE FABULOUS 👍🏼🤟🏼👍🏼
Thank you for the stream, dear NW! Was wonderful to listen to it with other fans! ❤ I will now restart my own cd😃!
There is a song for everyone. All is a masterpiece since the beginning Nightwish best band.
I cannot help myself, I am completely drawn to this album. I find myself "must" listening.
OK, I surrender. Damn you Nightwish, you got me. I need to buy this one.
That's the way this works!
Can't resist.
I've been following nightwish more than 24 years, never disappointed i love them.
Wow! Welcome back Nightwish! Wondered what you will come up next but this sure beats all expectations. This album can't be described/explained to anyone and give it the credit it deserves. For Nightwish fans this is a continuation of an amazing journey that, thankfully, has no end in sight. In fact, it is almost scary to think what follows this album but, hey, I will wait. In the meantime, I will be annoying as many people as I can by playing this over and over...yet, it won't take long until they also are converts to this utter perfection...I will now turn the lights off, turn up the volume and dissolve into this magical world Tuomas has, yet again, shared with us. Thank you and, please, we are waiting in Perth for you....
My God! I couldn't have cried more with "Lanternlight". We are nothing in this life... yet we are every single creature who has ever existed. Thank you for this beautiful gift. :')
A gorgeous requiem. Floor's high note at 1:09:15... Soaring! And her echo reply at 1:10:06 is angelic.
For me, this is the best Nightwish album.
Real symphonic metal from start to finish, with hauntingly beautiful melodies. Art, inspiration and wonder.
Erős Therion-kópia annak is az unalmasabb érájából. Számomra megdöbbentően unalmas album.
I absolutely agree with you 💯❣️👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The more I listen to the album, the more I love it. It's very complete and strong.
Lanternlight is still one of my favorite, I got chills with Floor's voice and the lyrics.
This album is a voyage to the past. Now it has sense the album cover, the feeling of past, the sailboat, everything
This is out of this world❤️🇫🇮
Do you get the Tuomas déjà vu moments, references and "Easter Eggs"?
He weaves them in for us to discover, to get more out of it, creating a personal connection.
Yet another Nightwish album that has sent chills down my spine, awed and inspired, and brought me to tears, all over the course of 71 minutes. Thank you, Nightwish, for reminding me of the beauty in this world.
This one is near perfection. Well done Tuomas, Floor and Nightwish, you are masters of your art.
Definitely needs to be listened several times to truly understand the meaning of the lyrics.
"Avatar of the tides
In the end, to the stars"
Well, I hadn't been too sure about this album from a couple of the previously released tracks, but listening to it as a whole, in the order that Tuomas intended... WOW! This is brilliant.
The composition and instrumentation are utterly fantastic (loving Troy's contributions particularly - not too shabby for a "Bad Shepherd" gone good). And what can I say about Floor - already the greatest singer in rock history IMO, she has raised the bar again.
I was hoping this album would be good, and I can happily say that Nightwish have delivered. This album is awesome. I will definitely be buying this one.
Just think how lucky we are to be born in the same period of time when this fabulous band performs.
There is a very large amount of things in this current time period I feel thankful for, and I feel quite privileged to live now. Nightwish is absolutely one of them.
The people of Mozart's time were also lucky to live in his era 😉
I'm gonna buy this album.
And if you plan a tour in France, for the first time in my life, count me as one of the public, crying heartful tears of combined emotions.
Hello from Liverpool. I am loving this new album. A big thank you to all involved in producing this masterpiece. This will probably be a major part of my soundtrack to this autumn. I am awaiting surgery and dark nights. Music will play a big role in my recovery. And Nightwish will play a huge part. Take care, all who read this. And please ... BE KIND ...
Same you dier friend i want to say - Hay from Ukrenia, Odessa city!!!

Just what I needed today 💕 my anxiety reliever//serotonin booster
This album means so much to me n what I've been going through before it came out !! It's so unreal nightwish music hits so hard for me !!!
My album of the year, most definitely! The Antikythera Mechanism is one of the best songs ever released by Nightwish, in my opinion. Of the trilogy, this is the strongest album!
COMMENT IF YOU FEEL IDENTIFIED: ❤❤❤ To Nightwish: A Journey Together Through Music
From the moment I first heard Nightwish, my life changed forever. Your music became the spark that ignited my passion for music, inspiring me to form my own band. Through every high and low, your songs have been a constant companion, guiding me, comforting me, and fueling my creativity. 🎹❤🩹🎵
Your lyrics resonate with my soul, painting pictures of worlds where dreams and reality intertwine. Each note, each word, has been a part of my growth, a part of who I am today. I've not just listened to your music - I’ve lived it -
Nightwish is more than a band to me... you are a profound part of my existence. I feel like I am a small piece of the story you tell, as much as your music has become woven into the fabric of my life.
Thank you for the inspiration, the emotions, and the unforgettable moments. Your music will forever be the soundtrack of my journey. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
With deep gratitude, I love you guys! Amazing work! 🥰
Imaginerum was my hook into the group.... They brought a perspective of what my G-mother went thru during her last couple of years of life. I saw Floor for the first time during her debut in Seattle... I've been riding their train ever since.
You put into words exactly what Nightwish means to me. By chance I found the Amaranth video that someone had shared on Facebook in August 2011. And my life was never the same again, they are part of my everyday life, and I am so grateful for that.
Beautiful words
'From the moment I first heard nightwish'. For me it was Wacken 13 GLS.....Nuff said.
@@brianwillson9567 Awesome bro!
They have been my favorite band since "Sleeping Sun". Tuomas is a genius. By the end of this album, I was a quivering bowl of emotional Jello. All the members past and present, have been great! Thank you!
I joined the Nightwish movement in 2022. My life has been chaotic since long before that. They helped me find some stability and contentment in a small measure.
Human Nature will be hard to top, but it sounds like they had no problem doing that. Chalk another banger up to the Titans from Finland.
Definitely worth the wait.
This is a unique album filled with emotions and energy!!! THE BEST IN THEIR STYLE!!! I listen and admire!!!! Thank you from Russia, we are not enemies, believe me!!!
Floor is known for her powerful and lofty high notes, but Lanternlight really shows off her rich lower voice wonderfully, and the orchestration (and skilled mixing/production) allows plenty of space for all of her emotional nuances to shine. Of course, her transitions from high to low and back again seem effortless. Endless range most beautiful!
Some Nightwish songs sound as though Tuomas wrote them and then handed them over expectantly to see how the vocalist would handle them. This song employs Floor's voice to such great effect that it feels like he wrote it for her to sing. A fine finish to this mighty work.
She's mainly known for being the 3rd best nightwish singer.
I think Tuomas always writes the songs with the strengths of the current singer in mind. Strong, operatic notes for Tarja, something a bit more lighter to fit Annette's voice and now whatever serves the song, Floor can sing it all.
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Oh, yes - he's keenly aware of their ranges and tonal qualities for sure. What I was (perhaps inadequately) trying to express is that some songs seem almost like a test or demonstration of the vocalist (not solely as an exercise - the art is still front and center) where their virtuosity becomes a focal point.
For me, this track feels like it's powered more by feelings, and that Tuomas knew that Floor could convey those in a way that only she could.
How fortunate are we to be here to listen?!
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Maybe..
"Endless laundry most beautiful"! Floor quote.
I think it's time to have a concert with an orchestra with such remarkable tracks.Thank you again Nightwish for this masterpiece!!!
Most poignant and beautiful album you've ever made by a wide margin. It brings me to tears in a way that only The Greatest Show on Earth has done before it.
Every time I listen to this album I find i love it more and more.
Perfume Of The Timeless... another masterpiece, but , the album is a masterpiece!!!!! saludos desde Chile!
It is a majestic album with beautiful music. Congratulations Nightwish 😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
Nightwish simply outdid themselves. It was worth the wait for Yesterwynde. It is a masterpiece. Alpha and Omega.
And once again I say, without blasphemy, that Tuomas is Metal Mozart Clone.
Genius. That's it. Like the aforementioned genius Mozart, such a thing is born once every 500 years.
Perhaps the most cohesive Nightwish album to date and with the highest concentration of good songs. They really outdid themselves this time. A masterpiece imho.
I know I can listen to this over and over, for free, via this youtube upload...yet I still bought the album. 🤘🤘
you are so generous
I wonder if there’s a word that describes a feeling of connecting to something great, timeless, being in the flow with the universe? That's how I feel now.
I just listened to the album twice -- first for the music, and second for the lyrics. Made me cry and gave me shivers so many times. Great poetry, great stories, amazing spectacle, and it warms my heart to feel that we are in the same flow.
I hope to see a tour with the symphonic orchestra when you guys are ready to tour again. This will be epic.
Kiitos! I will buy a physical copy as soon as I'm in a larger city, but thank you for releasing it officially this way! See you on tour some time!
I've finally bought it and finally listened to it. I'm crying and I don't know why. Thank you so much. I have no words. It's absolutely beautiful and full of emotions. I rememer why | love you, Nightwish. Thank you for all your music throughout the years. You've given me so much. And you've shown me again what you mean to me. Just... thank you. See you live soon.
This is the best album I heard of you. No flaws. From the morning is on repeat and all songs are beautiful and great. Congratulations.
With great music you expect a journey, Tuomas and Nightwish has provided a first-class trip with this album ending with the finest piece of music I have heard in Lanternlight. Thanks to the entire band for this masterpiece!
Metal Mozart and his crew back at it again. Fantastic!
I waited two weeks to listen to this album because I was travelling. I wanted to sit and immerse myself fully into it for my first experience. I am so glad I did. Thank you, Tuomas, and thank you Nightwish. What a stunningly beautiful album. I find it the most wonderful irony when people say Nightwish has changed. They have released songs and albums now about evolution yet expect the band and songwriter to not evolve. Were you not listening?
Loistava levy.
Something whispered follow me kertosäettä voisin kuunnella vaikka kuinka kauan...👌
fantastic album,all the songs are a masterpiece in each sort of music.
Omg THE WEAVE is my favorite from this album. So powerful
This is the first Nightwish album I've bought, and I think it's superb!
"Something Whispered Follow Me" is really special, for me the best in the album.
