Perhaps you should try their new album Century Child, it's less operatic when it comes to vocals. I like Tarja's more 'warm' style of singing on that album.

Yo! I'm a Nightwish fan too! They are really something, all you guys are right, Tarja is the best female singer in metal. I have Wishmaster and Century Child. Its interesting to hear the differences between them, I like how they added male vox to CC.

I love Nighwish! I have their DVD of a concert. Awesome stuff. Whenever people here ask about other bands, I always post:
Nighwish
After Forever
Therion
After Forver is a lot like Nighwish. And Therion...wow...can you say "choirs?"

How does this disc measure up to their last two releases? Is the disc mellower over all since she sings in a "warm" way?

Anyone listen to Within Temptation's Mother Earth disc or Brave's new one Searching for the Sun? Both of these vocalist are high on my list for female singers.

It's not mellower, at least in comparison to Wishmaster. It surely doesn't get any heavier than Oceanborn but I think Century Child must be at least their 2nd heaviest album. It's only that Tarja chooses to use less operatic style on the Century Child (still it's quite far from being something that an average female rock vocalist would do). That's the main difference in the vocals.
