The Poet & the Pendulm Sample (Nightwish)

- Start date
Glenn,
Is there a link or do you have the early copy? What do you think? Is this a good one? I have always liked the music if Nightwish but had a hard time digesting Tera. I loved Once and am very hopeful for the new one. The sample I heard with the new singer is more my taste and am hoping that the new nightwish will be as heavy as once but with vocals more my style..
Are you impressed with this one?

Sorry.
The link is on Brave Words and Blabbermouth both. It's a link to You Tube where someone put the 5 minutes (out of 12?!) to a homemade promotional video.

Heh heard it before it was removed. Its great. The orchestral part reminds me of a Hans Zimmer meets Howard Shore. Her voice is very much a part of the song. She doesn't tower over it. This is good or bad depending on your preference. Tarja had much more of a towering effect where she was really in front. I think its mostly because ... well face it.. Tarja had a stronger/fuller voice (you can like the new singer's tone more. That's fine by me. I like them both).
I can't even say this sounds like Nightwish. Because I think they've taken the band in a slightly different direction with this song. But it also doesn't sound like anybody else.... so it becomes Nightwish's sound.

I heard the song early this morning but didn't have a chance to comment on it yet, as these Fortune 500 companies actully want you to work.
I have to say, and yes I am a NIGHTWISH fanboy, but just from the 5 minutes i have heard this will in all likely hood be their finest album to date, and it will most definetly win over allot of new fans, and also all the naysayers(Tarja fans). The song in itself is the best written NW song i have heard, and again when that orchestra kicks in, i got chills. I can't wait to hear the whole song, and this song is the opening song, DAMN!!!!!!

I hate these damn threads, so I don't know why I'm reading it! I always have my expectations so high Jesus himself couldn't please me. 
I love Nightwish and I'm confident they won't put out a stinker. I hope I can just leave it at that until I can hear the disc myself.

This sounds better than a lot of the stuff off Once, but the vocals are just not doing it for me, unfortunately.

I don't get why some people think that Nightwish would only get the best they could get as a replacement. Or why its wrong to possibly not like the new vocalist as much. Bands change vocalists often enough, and some fans often don't like the changes. Lets see... Iced Earth fans? Helloween fans? Iron Maiden fans? Black Sabbath fans? Crimson Glory fans? I could go on and on of course. The point is... that preferring Tarja over the new gal doesn't mean that one is a hater.

This is true, Cherion. Not enough people realize this.
Anyway, there are two other samples that surfaced on YouTube:
Cadence of her Last Breath sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oaeOIf4ACQ&NR=1
Sahara sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEy6HaDbUOw
As always, I can't say enough good things about the music. The music itself is AMAZING!

Well, some of it may be a reaction to the veil of secrecy that Nightwish put over the whole process. Some might be underwhelmed by the choice, particularly since Tarja is a hard act to follow.
With the fact that the vocalist is pretty much the face of the band for Nightwish, there is no doubt that there is going to be strong reactions. Personally, it is the main reason why I didn't buy tickets to the Jaxx show. I just don't know what I'm going to get yet.

At about the 42 second mark Cadence totally starts rocking really hard.
Sahard is rocking extremely hard!!!
After listening to these samples I would like to comment slightly:
I dont remeber how many people or if it was a only a single person that said that Nightwish doesnt even sound like Nightwish any more; I think this wrong. I feel this is just a natural progression.
There is a difference. The problem is when people hear 15 seconds and come to the conclusion that she & the band both suck. Which is what a number of people did when the first bit of Eva got leaked.

But I don't understand why so many people aren't into the new vocalist. For one, I think her voice fits the music very well. Personally, I wish Tarja sounded more like this, as I always thought she overpowered the music. Naturally, all of the Tarja worshippers are going to revolt. This sort of thing happens to any band who replaces their vocalist. Nightwish could have easily found a soprano/Tarja wannabe, but they decided to go change things up. Is that such a bad thing? Like it or not (I take the latter position), they started a unique sound that plenty of bands now copy (After Forever, Epica, Leaves' Eyes, Operatika, Visions Of Atlantis, Within Temptation, etc.). Perhaps they decided to set a new trend. I'm trying to think of other bands that sound like Nightwish now that they've changed their sound, and nobody comes to mind. I think they're doing what any influential band should do: reinvent themselves from time to time.

Met-Al;
I for one think Anette is actually an UPGRADE. I actually think Anette could do the earlier classics better than Tarja because Tarja lacked the maturity in her voice when she made them, and never really recovered. Also, Anette WANTS to be there! You always felt an aloofness with Tarja, that she was not really enjoying what she was doing. You can here the joy in this band. Hence, it will be a better act lobg term.
Peace,
