Title: How do you say "overrated" in Finnish?
Review: Being a fan of hard rock bands with female singers (Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, and yes, even the dreaded Evanescence), more people than I can count have told me to check out Nightwish, with "Once" being the album most recommended. So I did ... and came away from the experience unimpressed. Tarja Turunen does have an absolutely beautiful voice and the band rocks extremely hard, but the juxtaposition of the two sounds like Renee Fleming geting lost on the way to the Met and ending up in the studio with Iron Maiden. It just doesn't mesh. Tarja is now out of the band so perhaps the band will get (or has gotten) a singer that's not so technically perfect. I can see where the music would have appeal, but it's just not for me. Your mileage, of course, may vary.
Is the review positive or negative?
