Nightwish: Imaginaerum

Anette Olzon replacing Tarja Turunen as the lead singer of Nightwish has been a wanked about and much debated things in symphonic metal circles but personally, I like her sound. Dark Passion Play was a kick ass cd even if it was a bit more commercial than Nightwish' usual stuff.

Nightwish just released their second cd with Anette, Imaginaerum, and if you want to give it a listen you can download it HERE.

I'm a bit undecided. I love Anette's vocals like mad and I think their single, Storytime, is awesome. I'm also fond of I Want My Tears Back and Song of Myself. I have to admit that I do find Within Temptation's new cd, The Unforgiving, to be more kick ass.

Then again, Sharon den Adel has always been my favorite symphonic metal singer hands down. She's made of the fierce. How can you not love her?
