Talk about mixed feelings. When I first saw this announcement I was excited and hoped that they would come near me so I could finally see them. Though I stopped paying attention to Nightwish a long time ago (the last album I bought was Wishmaster) I’ve been listening to them again because of Tuomos’ excellent solo album that came out this year. Plus, I’ve always thought Floor was a better singer than Tarja. However, I checked a recent setlist of theirs and was shocked at how few songs I even recognized. No songs from the first 2 albums? Only 1 from Wishmaster? This was not what I was expecting and I wasn’t sure I should even bother. Well, what better way to decide than to check out their new material. I know it’s 2 years old but I had not heard any of Imaginarium and I was really impressed! I’m not sure if my tastes have changed and I should revisit Nightwish’s last 12 years or if they have improved that much but I am back to hoping I can finally see them live.
