Awesome interview. The Metal Mozart and the Metal Goddess at the same time. What a treat. Great questions mate! This album is another masterpiece and in another level. Cheers!
Mozart, not Motzar 😜
@@officialHEL typing to fast. Ty😁
Man, you made him confess all his composition process. He's always been quite cryptic about this stuff. Very insightful
It's so refreshing listening to Tuomas - such an honest genuine interview and so uncommon in today's "like me like me" fake persona filled music industry.
Just him being him... beautiful.
Great interview, thank you!! The album is HUGE!!! 🫶🦋
❤ Tuomas AND Floor, awesome! ❤
Thank you! ❤
Your interview questions are awesome man! I love it!
I love the interview.
Thank you for this interview!
Wow, Tuomas and Floor together. Great Interview. Gruß vom Dümmer See 🤘
This new album do really grow from being great to being a masterpiece with several listens..
I hope the rare genius that is Tuomas Holopainen will be widely recognised in time. So often, it takes a lot if you dabble in metal. Or: It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll.
Great interview thanks
Fantastic questions, well done! Bravo 👏
Tuomas is 100% right about the album needing a few listenings and some time to "get it". When I heard the first singles I wasn't totally convinced, then they released the songs and I listened randomly, and at first I was a little sad and disappointed. Then I listened to the whole album from start to finish, several times, and the more I listen to it the more I like it. It's the most solid and consistent album of their 3 studio albums with Floor. Not a single "filler" or song I'll skip because I'm not interested.
Definitely agree. I think they should not release singles for that specific reason. Yesterwynde is one of the strongest albums in years, possibly their best
Great interview!👏❤
Good interview, it gives you a clear view of the developments surrounding making an album. Thank you👍
I find myself doing something with Yesterwynde that I haven’t consciously done in many years. That is, setting aside an entire block of time to go through the entire album (cd) following along with the lyrics. Something that hasn’t happened since the predominance of streaming.
Very good interview!
Very interesting interview. Loved the parts of Abbey Road. Thank you very much.
Great interviews. I agree with both of them about taking time. I have seen a lot of people saying this album is not Nightwish (there are always some who can't accept evolution); many who say the mix is wrong (because they don't understand the objectives) and many saying they don't like it because it's just film music (as if Tuomas has never been inspired by film scores before).
Most of them have listened once, maybe twice
My view is, get all the versions (full, instrumental and orchestral) and listen to them all half a dozen times. You will come to hear more and more of what is in there, how it all fits together and what the themes are.
Done that way I have found this a very rewarding album.
1 - So if Nightwish release a pop tiktok based album it will still be Nightwish? It will be considered evolution? Why Bjork is still Bjork even though she experiments so much? Because experimentation was always a part of her artistic identity. But even her fans would find it weird if she started doing metal.
2 - Mix is bad. The supposed objectives you mention sound more like gaslighting fans than a proper artistic, aesthetic choice. This kind of argument based on "you don't like it because you don't understand it" is more of a religious one than a logical one. No competent audio engineer would bury the vocals under tons of sampled orchestrations, specially considering how important the lyrics are for the concept to be properly understood.
3 - It is TOTALLY different to be inspired by a kind of music style, bringing some aesthetic elements into composition and to do something that is mostly the same music style. You can be inspired by folk music without being a folk artist, but there is a threshold of how much you can go. When you cross it, you are doing folk music.
@@yuriperez12211. They wouldn't. Listen to the orchestral version, listen to instrumentals of Yesterwynde, Once and DPP and tell me you cannot hear the Nightwish similarity (of course maybe your ear cannot hear it).
2. The vocals are not "buried". Sure they are lower in the mix ON SOME TRACKS - where they are intended to form part of the orchestration. Again, perhaps it takes a trained ear to hear that but it's there. And on my audio system, with any combination of 2 CD players, 2 amplifiers and 3 sets of speakers, let alone 3 over-ear headphones and 5 sets of earbuds, all the lyrics are absolutely clear.
3. Any artist can develop to a completely different style and still be recognisable. Tell me early melodic Schoenberg (like Verklarte Nacht) and later atonal Schoenberg (such as the second string quartet) sound like completely different composers and I will disagree entirely.
@@yuriperez1221 brilliant comment! Finally someone spotted the huge contradiction between the two arguments about the mixing: The importance of the lyrics and the "buried" lead vocals under all these sound layers that (supposedly) serves better the storytelling!!! Damn, they are called " lead vocals" & "lead singer" for a reason!
A missed opportunity for something much bigger here! The album is good but it won't reach wider audience, unfortunately.
Epic🎉
“The children of ‘Ata” inspired by a writer from the Netherlands. Who knew? Great interview already.
from Finland*
@@babatoathe writer of this book he is talking about?
@@babatoa Tuomas clearly identifies the writer as Rutger Bregman, who is Dutch.
Floppy disks! Hahahahaha. Superb.
Very interesting. Thanx for the awesome Interviews. So cool to hear how everything starts, from the idea to the final result.😃
Please interview Troy if possible! 😊
Misleading thumbnail
Nice explaination , what happened to yr hair , new conditioner?????
"When I sang in the preamp ... he started smoking ...". No wonder!
me sing? no!
😊🤭
We all have heard Tuomas sing in the past... Not singing is a wise choice :)
@@j.f.l.bousquet1998judging from snippets of the tour vids he has gotten better though.
😆
....her name is Floor Jansen not Jensen... :-)
16:11 "The guy bringing us sandwiches and coffee all the time"
Credit is given when credit is due. Who knows, maybe one coffee short and we wouldn't have the masterpiece called Yesterwynde😄
You're not you when you're hungry.
Tuomas, simple and direct.
TUOMAS! The GOD of all!!!!!❤
Nice interview. I've been listening to them since Century Child, I don't think I've ever seen/read an interview that went into such detail over the creation process. Nice
I got tired of your questions after few minutes. Next interview you will ask maybe "what kind of coffee you need to drink before recording and what panties use to sleep to have better recording day"
Danke❤ aber ich bin etwas neidisch 🤣🤟❤️
Insightful interview, gives a good image of the developing and working process of the album.
my favorite music duo floor and tuomas 💕
24:45 She did 2013 with her appearence at Wacken. I was so far away from Nightwish, though I listened to them since 1996. I rather moved away after the change of singers and went to Tarja-Concerts and listened to the new stuff with Annette, but nothing convinced me 100%.
She did, and I was hooked like never before.
