Speechless. I cannot put into words my feelings about this band. Im 35 and ive listened to Nightwish for well over half my life. Ive been a part of their journey and they have been a part of mine. Long may it continue.
Same, man. I kind of got bored with them after Dark Passion Play, but I think Human Nature(the "Human" half) and this album are a nice evolution and a great new sound for them. If I want to hear Once, I'll listen to Once. So finally getting a new direction is refreshing to me, and the music is great quality.
It's the presence or absence of an upload like this that often determines whether or not I'll buy an album. Why should I buy something I haven't been able to listen to first?
@@Gamer2k4 the songs will almost always be uploaded, OP was talking specifically about a single upload of the whole continuous album instead of just each song individually.
@@jaykimjay True. But it's still nice to be able to listen to the official release on TH-cam and make sure they get the views (and royalties), when not feeling like popping in the CD or being too lazy to load Winamp. As for going to their shows.... There won't be any for the foreseeable future :(
I first encountered Nightwish back in 1999, with the album Oceanborn. Blew me away instantly. Yesterwynde has been on repeat here constantly, I think it's a great album. These talented guys and gals have been at it for a long time, you cannot expect them to do the same thing over and over again. Would be boring. Floor somewhere said something along the lines of "don't put us in a box. Just listen to the album" To me Nightwish has always been just that, a band that cannot be put in a box. They create music, art, as they like. As they should. I take my hat off to you, Nightwish. Kiitos for the last 25+ years. Onwards!
I listen to it now everytime I go to the gym for running....and yes, I run fast and full of joy, like running over clouds and sometimes for my life...what a powerful and emotional album. Lots of love and many thanks for your music! 🥰
This is the most beautiful ending to the trilogy that I could have dreamed of. For me this is a complete album. I have no other words, only: thank you.
Tuomas you heal my soul when I needed the most. This album brings me the heal and the hope that my soul was screaming for since 2021. I can feel the warmth of your lyrics, this vehicle of spirit carries not only you guys, but the whole NW world. We are still here.
Kuuntelin levyn yöllä pimeässä metsässä, koiran kanssa ulkoillessa, täysikuun valossa ja revontulien loistaessa järven yllä. Täydellinen Nightwish hetki sekä mahtava albumi ❤

Who else noticed that "The Weave" is not only a palindrom in terms of lyrics, but so is its number in the albom -11th and even time! It`s 4:54 minutes long. And this Grieg`s "Morning" musical references give me chills! It`s like Halloween dark and spooky version of the "Morning". For me, it`s even darker than "Ghost River". It`s like real experience of dying and rebirth. Genious!
Once again I am stuck in a whirlwind of your music ! I can´t count how many times I´ve heard this album and it keeps growing in me with every listen. Take your rest, but please never leave, I will always follow you since you are huge part of my life. Love NW.
The album is completely crazy, with an intense atmospheric rhythm, with calm parts but also with very heavy ones. Very complete. The musicians are all to be congratulated, they all did an excellent job.
Hiraeth and Lanterlight hurt so much... I lost my 6 month old baby girl last November. I don`t wish this kind of pain to anyone, not even to the worst human on earth. Hiraeth and Lanternlight hurts but they also carries and holds me trough the pain and sorrow. Kiitos Nightwish for this incredibly beautiful album which made me cry many times along this musical journey called Yesterwynde
@@reeilona I am truly sorry for your loss! Losing your own child is the most painful experience on earth 💕 I am lost on words, but I am glad that music can help you during this time! ❤️
My wife and I suffered a miscarriage this year with our first pregnancy. It still hurts, but Hiraeth has been a way for me to remember them but also process the loss I'm still feeling. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Words cannot express how deeply this album penetrates my heart, opening it wide and triggering feelings of depth, happiness, euphoria and love. Every song is a masterpiece of composition and performance. Music that I can't get out of my head, even now. With Yesterwynde you have once again achieved a great success. Nightwish, I love your music.❤
As a longtime Nightwish fan, I couldn't have wished for anything more perfect, this album is a journey through life - With death waiting at the end, but oh such a beautifull death. For me its always been about Floors voice, she could make me smile, or reduce me to savage tears, but now it's like hearing a familiar poem, a safe harbour for my deepest feelings. I've tried to write, but reading Tuomos lyrics he writes from a place the other side of truth and beauty. (And, Troy, read the comments, some of us love you).
Nightwish Army, Indonesia here. I just have to say, this album is a masterpiece. It certainly tugs on the heartstrings and rocks at the same time. Tuomas, you are indeed a genius.... as if we didn't already know!
Yet another Nightwish album that has sent chills down my spine, awed and inspired, and brought me to tears, all over the course of 71 minutes. Thank you, Nightwish, for reminding me of the beauty in this world.
Another album that has completely blown me away, beautiful orchestral moments, stunning guitars, epic drums, harmonizing keyboards, delicate choir and then theres Floor with her magical delicate as well as powerful vocals. Wow just Wow. Love you Nightwish thanks for another amazing album.
There is one thing I can only attribute to Nightwish. They are the only band ever that can make me physically tired and dehydrated as if I had run a marathon just by sitting on a chair listening to a full album. Wonderful album.
I am always struck by how, on top of the music, Tuomas so often has these brillant thoughts hitting like lightning. In 'Something Whispered Follow Me': "Stardust to dust, a tapestry in between", "Go find your mountain, go build a graveyard with a view". Really a poet with the words, the music, and the two together
I'm re-listening to the album while I wait for my pre-ordered physical copy to arrive. I translated, using my cell phone, the lyrics of the songs one at a time into my preferred language as I listened to them. A Masterpiece. Poetry to read and listen to.💓
What a coherent and refined album. Just fantastic. To me this is an outstanding piece. Even in Nightwish standards. Mature, elegant, beautiful, thrilling, captivating.
Tuomas is taking us on his journey, people will follow him, some will detour, some will get back onto the journey, some will arrive later, but most will follow him to the end.
Lanternlight breaks my heart so much. Thank you Nightwish for being with me for 15 long years. You gave me so many beautiful memories, and helped me to become who I am today. 🤧 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
After hearing lots of people complaining about the single releases, i was a bit afraid of how the OP was going to be. I am shamed of myself for having doubts about Nightwish. Yestewynde is AWESOME.
After hearing the two singles from the album released earlier I had the same thought. Oh my, no, that wasn't my stuff. But now after being able to listening the complete album, which Nightwish uploaded for us all to hear I wonder, why they didn't release other tracks. Alone track 2 is so cool. The end of this track gave me literally goosebumps. Reminds me partly of Storytime Album, which was amazing from writing, lyrics, the complete score amazing. And now they are doing it literally again. Absolut epic. They do the amazing thing again: To get a track into your mind you have to listen to the whole track, not only a part of it. 30 second try outs for listening could never ever fulfill that. I am buying the album right now. So to everyone out there: If you listen to this and you'll like it, be so fair to buy it please! Nightwish deserves this really! 🥰
With great music you expect a journey, Tuomas and Nightwish has provided a first-class trip with this album ending with the finest piece of music I have heard in Lanternlight. Thanks to the entire band for this masterpiece!
I joined the Nightwish movement in 2022. My life has been chaotic since long before that. They helped me find some stability and contentment in a small measure. Human Nature will be hard to top, but it sounds like they had no problem doing that. Chalk another banger up to the Titans from Finland. Definitely worth the wait.
What a great production. The more you listen to it, the better it sounds. I received my Earbook version yesterday. Congratulations with this wonderful production Nightwish. Greetings from the Netherlands 💗
Omg THE WEAVE is my favorite from this album. So powerful
2 หลายเดือนก่อน +11
Nightwish simply outdid themselves. It was worth the wait for Yesterwynde. It is a masterpiece. Alpha and Omega. And once again I say, without blasphemy, that Tuomas is Metal Mozart Clone. Genius. That's it. Like the aforementioned genius Mozart, such a thing is born once every 500 years.
I discovered Nightwish in 2004 and you knocked my socks off! I love Yesterwynde, the songs are different, but yet so Nightwish. Lanternlight made me cry, so beautiful. Thank you for amazing beautiful music, experinces and memories ❤
Lots of really good moments in this album! I've been a Nightwish fan since 1999 and this album has a lot of the "catchy" moments from that time, in a different shape but a very good one. Songs like "The Antikythera Mechanism", "An Ocean Of Strange Islands" and "Something Whispered Follow Me" are good examples of this "old and new" mix!
Well, I hadn't been too sure about this album from a couple of the previously released tracks, but listening to it as a whole, in the order that Tuomas intended... WOW! This is brilliant. The composition and instrumentation are utterly fantastic (loving Troy's contributions particularly - not too shabby for a "Bad Shepherd" gone good). And what can I say about Floor - already the greatest singer in rock history IMO, she has raised the bar again.
They have been my favorite band since "Sleeping Sun". Tuomas is a genius. By the end of this album, I was a quivering bowl of emotional Jello. All the members past and present, have been great! Thank you!
When you are waiting for your favourite band to release a new collection of songs, an album, there is naturally some anxiety, expectation and excitement mixed with the hope that you will not be disappointed in the new material. "Yesterwynde" as a cohesive collection of songs just gets better and better with each and every listen surpassing my greatest hopes and expectations, so much so that the three early release singles as good as they are do not appear in my top 5 songs from this genius laced album. It is now my favourite album by this phenomenal band. 🙏😊👍❤️
My album of the year, most definitely! The Antikythera Mechanism is one of the best songs ever released by Nightwish, in my opinion. Of the trilogy, this is the strongest album!
I was hoping this album would be good, and I can happily say that Nightwish have delivered. This album is awesome. I will definitely be buying this one.
An Ocean of Strange Islands, The Antikythera Mechanism, The Weave and Lanternlight ❤ The first two were instant likes, the last two didn't take long to grow on me. A wonderful album overall...
Handshake 😁 I have favorite tracks on all albums, been to several concerts through the years, and after a long time I'll blow the dust from my old carcass and go again !
Yes, it gets better and better with each and every listen. Neither of the 3 early release singles which are great get in to my top 5 from this album. That's how good I rhink it is. 👍😊
I understand the reasons and why the band needs some time off, it's absolutely understandable, I think most and/or many of us think the same. But I have to say something, and that is that this YW album, will need a tour sooner or later, it can't NOT have a tour, it's a very good album, and live it will be the ‘next level’ of NW... Bravo!!!
Прослушал альбом, я крайне впечатлён! Думаю, что эта очередная жемчужина в копилку мирового рока, не оставит равнодушным ни одного поклонника группы! Альбом, десятый по счёту. Для любой рок группы, счёт 10:0 в пользу группы - счёт довольно серьёзный. Множество известных групп, подарив миру такое количество прекрасных полотен, уже «исписалось», превратившись в само-пародию, с бесконечными компиляциями. Примером тому группа «Uriah Heep», или «Manfred Mann's Earth Band», … Yesterwynde, слушается, как единое, концептуальное произведение, с замысловато закрученным сюжетом, аранжированным, так, что слушатель не скучает ни секунды, но не «за-аранжированное» сверх меры, как второй альбом группы «Nazareth», авторам удалось пройти по грани, сохранив чувство меры. Умелое переплетение разных стилей, хитросплетение голосов и звуков, которые рисуют причудливые музыкальные узоры, частая смена ритма и постоянное развитие сюжета мы слышим в каждой композиции! Композиция может начаться, как баллада, перейти в быстрый ритм присущий «хеви-метал», а закончиться мягкими, умиротворяющими звуками. Группа не стоит на месте, постоянное развитие и прогресс, неизменные спутники коллектива. Альбом получился интересным, творческий потенциал Туомаса Холопайнена кажется безграничным, но мне очень жаль, что в альбоме не звучит голос Марко Хиетала. Я высказал своё, личное, частное мнение, на котором не настаиваю, ведь каждый имеет право на собственное мнение и каждый имеет право его не разделять! В завершение хочется сказать: - Long Live Nightwish! P.S. Пройдёт время, и наши правнуки, слушая Nightwish , будут восклицать: - Ах, как люди жили, как тонко чувствовали!
I didn't know Nightwish, as I wasn't particularly into this type of music. Their music piqued my interest, as my partner played it for me and I listened to them at first to make my partner happy and we went to Greece to see them live at the Release Athens Festival. That day, I fell in love with Nightwish, the way the played and their melodies. Their music feels like it doesn't belong to this century. It takes you on a journey, enchants you, and speaks to you about events and history. I've listened to almost all their songs, and I was eagerly awaiting their latest album. I, who didn't know them at all and didn't listen to this kind of music. This band takes me on a journey, calms me down, and keeps me company at work. Your new album is outstanding. The harmony of the music and the way the band has evolved is out of this world. I believe you've exceeded all expectations and brought in people like me who didn't know you or listen to this genre of music. I hope we get to hear this album LIVE, as it’s a piece of history that needs to be shared everywhere. It would be a shame if the world doesn't get the chance to hear you. I wish you all good health, and thank you for the magic you share with us. 🤩🤩🤩
I saw them live in Athens before 20 years. With Queensryche and Judas Priest together... June of 2004. I was in love with Nightwish from their very first album. And to watch them live was something undescivable. Epic night. I feel the same today every time i watch them (live or in videos).
There's a constant nostalgic feeling throughout of it moving in waves around darkness and light, priceless memories you can't rewind but it's still alive inside of us. All of it upon a solid and epic fantasy sound, this album is fully charged of emotions. The best one from the trilogy and one of the best Nightwish's ever if we talk about the musical composition, it's on another level. It got me nostalgic as Imaginaerum did at the time🥲 Amazing!
It's a solid album. At first, it sounded chaotic with too much going on - I felt lost and almost disappointed, missing the "old" Nightwish from it - but after a few listens it grew on me. With time I started to like and appreciate the songs one by one, starting with An Ocean of Strange Islands (instant hit) closely followed by Antikythera Mechanism, Spider Silk, then Perfume of the Timeless, The Weave and Children of Ata. Soon after I caught myself humming Hiraeth and Lanternlight, and I am warming up to the rest as well. To me, this album is harder to digest and maybe not as catchy on the first listen as the older albums were but nonetheless, it's something special and I am grateful for it. ❤
I agree with you. This album requires some listenings to understand better the layers of content, but is a really solid work. And as you said, it s has something special in this sound. For me, its a very immersive and enjoyable album that is clearly complex with a lot of things going on simultaneously. My favorite tracks An Ocean Of Strange Islands, Antikythera Mechanism, The Day Of, Spider Silk, The Children Of Ata and Hiraeth.
The last three NW albums have been like that. The melodies are complicated and seem a bit off at first. It’s on about the fifth or sixth listen that everything starts making sense. I will take a long tim to get my head around Antikythera especially.
Definitely the same as you guys, I was almost disappointed because the last two albums with Floor have really high standards and it is hard to reach that level with this one, but listening to it more and more it becomes more catchy and fruity.
Definately oposite: I loved moust songs for rhe first hearing, and nearly all the rest for aecond or the listening. What really is difficult to "get in" to these sons? P.S. I still don' care so much about Hiraeth and Lanternlight but so what? Eight fantastic songs , twoi very good. It is five times more great music than in album these days..
I'm gonna buy this album. And if you plan a tour in France, for the first time in my life, count me as one of the public, crying heartful tears of combined emotions.
The more I listen to the album, the more I love it. It's very complete and strong. Lanternlight is still one of my favorite, I got chills with Floor's voice and the lyrics. This album is a voyage to the past. Now it has sense the album cover, the feeling of past, the sailboat, everything
Do you get the Tuomas déjà vu moments, references and "Easter Eggs"? He weaves them in for us to discover, to get more out of it, creating a personal connection.
I got my gift 5lrhis week... the the Luxe box.. First off all the box and the vynil are so beautifull... And i Just love ...love..love... the album... lots of love from the Netherlands ❤
I love this album so much! I really love it in the context of the other members of this trilogy, EFMB and HN, they’re all so good. A beautiful story of nature, humanity, and how they coexist! Not to mention how Floor has been absolutely KILLING it. It even worked out that Marco left, because Troy didn’t get prominent vocals until the last two albums (the humanity ones) but Marco was only in the first two (the nature ones). Very cool all around, and I can’t wait to see what Nightwish does next.
Huge fan of Jukka and miss him, but goddam delivered hard with this album. Feels like the first time that Toumas really managed to bring out the entire beast that is Kai.
Aivan mahtava levy,jota osasimme odottaa jo eka lohkasulta,se soi päässä,yöt ja päivät monta viikkoa.Torstaina sit mieheni kanssa kuunneltiin ihan tärinässä,kolme kertaa peräkkäin et mitä ihmettä❤Oliko sit niin räjäyttävä et aamulla heräsin kuumeessa🤭Hahton rummutus yhes biisis on niin KOVA,et mietittiin et soittaako se jaloillakin🤣Kiitos Nightwish,ja eritotenTuomas ku oot luonu vuosiksi eteenpäin jotain kuunneltavaa,sanokoon kriitikot ja muut *viisaat*mitä haluavat.Ootte meidän koko perheen fanittama ja onneks saimme nähdä myös livenä,Vaasas..Ja Floorhan on paras naisartisti..❤
@Mordorian_Orque You do realize they started changing their music _before_ Tarja was fired, right? Once came out with that cinematic sound that Nightwish _still_ has today, and no one batted an eye about it. No one is "making changes for the sake of changes." Tuomas is writing whatever he wants, being a master at his craft under influence by things like Hans Zimmer's music and marine biology, and has been on brand for Nightwish's entire run. Broaden your mind a little bit. You would benefit greatly from it. Edit: Totally forgot to mention that "A Return to the Sea," a song that _predates_ their cinematic sound, is on brand with this album and the last two. Soooo _pay attention to what you're listening to._
I've finally bought it and finally listened to it. I'm crying and I don't know why. Thank you so much. I have no words. It's absolutely beautiful and full of emotions. I rememer why | love you, Nightwish. Thank you for all your music throughout the years. You've given me so much. And you've shown me again what you mean to me. Just... thank you. See you live soon.

Already bought the album. Just came here to say it's amazing.
Me too. Bought the CD from Amazon, and they had the digital copy on my phone three days ago!
@@dr.maturin4648 me too too:-) it is a masterpiece!!!
Bloody marvellous, and another Nightwish album that is going to get played to death when I'm tinkering in my shed!
Elevating my music taste rn
With great music you expect a journey, Tuomas and Nightwish has provided a first-class trip with this album ending with the finest piece of music I have heard in Lanternlight. Thanks to the entire band for this masterpiece!
I joined the Nightwish movement in 2022. My life has been chaotic since long before that. They helped me find some stability and contentment in a small measure.
Human Nature will be hard to top, but it sounds like they had no problem doing that. Chalk another banger up to the Titans from Finland.
Definitely worth the wait.
What a great production. The more you listen to it, the better it sounds.
I received my Earbook version yesterday.
Congratulations with this wonderful production Nightwish.
Greetings from the Netherlands 💗
Omg THE WEAVE is my favorite from this album. So powerful
Nightwish simply outdid themselves. It was worth the wait for Yesterwynde. It is a masterpiece. Alpha and Omega.
And once again I say, without blasphemy, that Tuomas is Metal Mozart Clone.
Genius. That's it. Like the aforementioned genius Mozart, such a thing is born once every 500 years.
Fantastic work!. Nightwish never fails….spin away Nightwish!. Keep spinning out awesome songs!. Love from Lagos Nigeria!.
I discovered Nightwish in 2004 and you knocked my socks off! I love Yesterwynde, the songs are different, but yet so Nightwish. Lanternlight made me cry, so beautiful. Thank you for amazing beautiful music, experinces and memories ❤
Absolute work of art 👌
Lots of really good moments in this album! I've been a Nightwish fan since 1999 and this album has a lot of the "catchy" moments from that time, in a different shape but a very good one. Songs like "The Antikythera Mechanism", "An Ocean Of Strange Islands" and "Something Whispered Follow Me" are good examples of this "old and new" mix!
Well, I hadn't been too sure about this album from a couple of the previously released tracks, but listening to it as a whole, in the order that Tuomas intended... WOW! This is brilliant.
The composition and instrumentation are utterly fantastic (loving Troy's contributions particularly - not too shabby for a "Bad Shepherd" gone good). And what can I say about Floor - already the greatest singer in rock history IMO, she has raised the bar again.
They have been my favorite band since "Sleeping Sun". Tuomas is a genius. By the end of this album, I was a quivering bowl of emotional Jello. All the members past and present, have been great! Thank you!
When you are waiting for your favourite band to release a new collection of songs, an album, there is naturally some anxiety, expectation and excitement mixed with the hope that you will not be disappointed in the new material. "Yesterwynde" as a cohesive collection of songs just gets better and better with each and every listen surpassing my greatest hopes and expectations, so much so that the three early release singles as good as they are do not appear in my top 5 songs from this genius laced album. It is now my favourite album by this phenomenal band. 🙏😊👍❤️
My album of the year, most definitely! The Antikythera Mechanism is one of the best songs ever released by Nightwish, in my opinion. Of the trilogy, this is the strongest album!
Yes agreed. The Antikythera Mechanism has all the trademark Nightwish transitions, multi-layering and bells and whistles. Superb 🙏😊👍❤️
I cannot help myself, I am completely drawn to this album. I find myself "must" listening.
Same
This album means so much to me n what I've been going through before it came out !! It's so unreal nightwish music hits so hard for me !!!
OK, I surrender. Damn you Nightwish, you got me. I need to buy this one.
That's the way this works!
Can't resist.
I was hoping this album would be good, and I can happily say that Nightwish have delivered. This album is awesome. I will definitely be buying this one.
I want to say thank you Nightwish...I was expecting a good album....but for me its a masterpiece....
An Ocean of Strange Islands, The Antikythera Mechanism, The Weave and Lanternlight ❤
The first two were instant likes, the last two didn't take long to grow on me. A wonderful album overall...
Those are my favorites plus Yesterwynde as an opening! 🔥🎶
It was 1998. Came Oceanborn. I grew old. I fell in love with Imagenaerium. Today I fell in love again. Great album. 💓.. Speechless
Handshake 😁 I have favorite tracks on all albums, been to several concerts through the years, and after a long time I'll blow the dust from my old carcass and go again !
Oceanborn was mind-blowing!
This is the first Nightwish album I've bought, and I think it's superb!
There is a song for everyone. All is a masterpiece since the beginning Nightwish best band.
Thank you Nightwish for giving us a new Masterpiece.
Just what I needed today 💕 my anxiety reliever//serotonin booster
The bass lines really got some love in this one.
This album, with all the little details, is a masterpiece. You need several listens to get a grasp of it.
Yes, it gets better and better with each and every listen. Neither of the 3 early release singles which are great get in to my top 5 from this album. That's how good I rhink it is. 👍😊
"Something Whispered Follow Me" is really special, for me the best in the album.
I'm a huge fan of the album ❤🎉
I've been following nightwish more than 24 years, never disappointed i love them.
I know I can listen to this over and over, for free, via this youtube upload...yet I still bought the album. 🤘🤘
you are so generous
I understand the reasons and why the band needs some time off, it's absolutely understandable, I think most and/or many of us think the same. But I have to say something, and that is that this YW album, will need a tour sooner or later, it can't NOT have a tour, it's a very good album, and live it will be the ‘next level’ of NW...
Bravo!!!
Definitely needs to be listened several times to truly understand the meaning of the lyrics.
"Avatar of the tides
In the end, to the stars"
The orchestra backing these songs just takes this album to the next level
Whole album upload including lyrics from the official channel!! :o
I always buy their music even if I give it a listen on TH-cam too and agree in supporting our creators ❤
Limited Edition, with Intrumental and Orchestral versions?
Then go back to the album, again!
spin away spin away...😵💫that part is apotheotic and stunning. A really masterpiece this album 👌
IT IS AN EXCELLENT ALBUM AND IT HAS SONGS FROM BEGINNING TO END THEY ARE FABULOUS 👍🏼🤟🏼👍🏼
Sometimes you stand in awe, stunned and mezmerised with what you come to meet in life. Yesterwynde is that, whole album.
Прослушал альбом, я крайне впечатлён! Думаю, что эта очередная жемчужина в копилку мирового рока, не оставит равнодушным ни одного поклонника группы! Альбом, десятый по счёту. Для любой рок группы, счёт 10:0 в пользу группы - счёт довольно серьёзный. Множество известных групп, подарив миру такое количество прекрасных полотен, уже «исписалось», превратившись в само-пародию, с бесконечными компиляциями. Примером тому группа «Uriah Heep», или «Manfred Mann's Earth Band», … Yesterwynde, слушается, как единое, концептуальное произведение, с замысловато закрученным сюжетом, аранжированным, так, что слушатель не скучает ни секунды, но не «за-аранжированное» сверх меры, как второй альбом группы «Nazareth», авторам удалось пройти по грани, сохранив чувство меры. Умелое переплетение разных стилей, хитросплетение голосов и звуков, которые рисуют причудливые музыкальные узоры, частая смена ритма и постоянное развитие сюжета мы слышим в каждой композиции! Композиция может начаться, как баллада, перейти в быстрый ритм присущий «хеви-метал», а закончиться мягкими, умиротворяющими звуками. Группа не стоит на месте, постоянное развитие и прогресс, неизменные спутники коллектива. Альбом получился интересным, творческий потенциал Туомаса Холопайнена кажется безграничным, но мне очень жаль, что в альбоме не звучит голос Марко Хиетала. Я высказал своё, личное, частное мнение, на котором не настаиваю, ведь каждый имеет право на собственное мнение и каждый имеет право его не разделять! В завершение хочется сказать: - Long Live Nightwish! P.S. Пройдёт время, и наши правнуки, слушая Nightwish , будут восклицать: - Ах, как люди жили, как тонко чувствовали!
This is the best album I heard of you. No flaws. From the morning is on repeat and all songs are beautiful and great. Congratulations.
Ocean is just an absolute masterpiece
compilation of older songs ("melting the songs of old" lol)
@Mordorian_Orque seems kind of odd that an orc would enjoy music would be more akin to something Gimli would like
I didn't know Nightwish, as I wasn't particularly into this type of music. Their music piqued my interest, as my partner played it for me and I listened to them at first to make my partner happy and we went to Greece to see them live at the Release Athens Festival. That day, I fell in love with Nightwish, the way the played and their melodies. Their music feels like it doesn't belong to this century. It takes you on a journey, enchants you, and speaks to you about events and history.
I've listened to almost all their songs, and I was eagerly awaiting their latest album. I, who didn't know them at all and didn't listen to this kind of music. This band takes me on a journey, calms me down, and keeps me company at work. Your new album is outstanding. The harmony of the music and the way the band has evolved is out of this world. I believe you've exceeded all expectations and brought in people like me who didn't know you or listen to this genre of music.
I hope we get to hear this album LIVE, as it’s a piece of history that needs to be shared everywhere. It would be a shame if the world doesn't get the chance to hear you. I wish you all good health, and thank you for the magic you share with us.
🤩🤩🤩
Your Journey into Metal Music has just begun. There are so many good bands on this planet. \m/
I saw them live in Athens before 20 years. With Queensryche and Judas Priest together... June of 2004. I was in love with Nightwish from their very first album. And to watch them live was something undescivable. Epic night. I feel the same today every time i watch them (live or in videos).
Your partner is a GOOD ONE ! To share this music is PURE LOVE !
There's a constant nostalgic feeling throughout of it moving in waves around darkness and light, priceless memories you can't rewind but it's still alive inside of us.
All of it upon a solid and epic fantasy sound, this album is fully charged of emotions.
The best one from the trilogy and one of the best Nightwish's ever if we talk about the musical composition, it's on another level.
It got me nostalgic as Imaginaerum did at the time🥲
Amazing!
You explained it perfectly! Nostalgic from a place I’ve never been with waves of darkness and light
fantastic album,all the songs are a masterpiece in each sort of music.
Fell in love the moment the first song started; knocked it out of the park again with this one
It's a solid album. At first, it sounded chaotic with too much going on - I felt lost and almost disappointed, missing the "old" Nightwish from it - but after a few listens it grew on me. With time I started to like and appreciate the songs one by one, starting with An Ocean of Strange Islands (instant hit) closely followed by Antikythera Mechanism, Spider Silk, then Perfume of the Timeless, The Weave and Children of Ata. Soon after I caught myself humming Hiraeth and Lanternlight, and I am warming up to the rest as well.
To me, this album is harder to digest and maybe not as catchy on the first listen as the older albums were but nonetheless, it's something special and I am grateful for it. ❤
I agree with you. This album requires some listenings to understand better the layers of content, but is a really solid work. And as you said, it s has something special in this sound. For me, its a very immersive and enjoyable album that is clearly complex with a lot of things going on simultaneously. My favorite tracks An Ocean Of Strange Islands, Antikythera Mechanism, The Day Of, Spider Silk, The Children Of Ata and Hiraeth.
The last three NW albums have been like that. The melodies are complicated and seem a bit off at first. It’s on about the fifth or sixth listen that everything starts making sense. I will take a long tim to get my head around Antikythera especially.
Definitely the same as you guys, I was almost disappointed because the last two albums with Floor have really high standards and it is hard to reach that level with this one, but listening to it more and more it becomes more catchy and fruity.
Definately oposite: I loved moust songs for rhe first hearing, and nearly all the rest for aecond or the listening. What really is difficult to "get in" to these sons? P.S. I still don' care so much about Hiraeth and Lanternlight but so what? Eight fantastic songs , twoi very good. It is five times more great music than in album these days..
I'm gonna buy this album.
And if you plan a tour in France, for the first time in my life, count me as one of the public, crying heartful tears of combined emotions.
The more I listen to the album, the more I love it. It's very complete and strong.
Lanternlight is still one of my favorite, I got chills with Floor's voice and the lyrics.
This album is a voyage to the past. Now it has sense the album cover, the feeling of past, the sailboat, everything
This is out of this world❤️🇫🇮
Do you get the Tuomas déjà vu moments, references and "Easter Eggs"?
He weaves them in for us to discover, to get more out of it, creating a personal connection.
I got my gift 5lrhis week... the the Luxe box..
First off all the box and the vynil are so beautifull...
And i Just love ...love..love... the album... lots of love from the Netherlands ❤
Perfume Of The Timeless... another masterpiece, but , the album is a masterpiece!!!!! saludos desde Chile!
Only listen to this version guys, don't go on other chanelles. Support your bands if you can't afford to buy it.
I do both but I am fed up with the DR war.
I listen before I buy that is how i shop with my ears
@@ioanabuzz didn’t they improve the system years ago to redirect the money to the original artist?
I love this album & the orchestral version .... 🤯🤯🤯
This is defenitely one of the best albums by Nightwish, if not the best 🤘❤️
... this is something else ... thanks Tuomas ❤
I love this album so much! I really love it in the context of the other members of this trilogy, EFMB and HN, they’re all so good. A beautiful story of nature, humanity, and how they coexist! Not to mention how Floor has been absolutely KILLING it. It even worked out that Marco left, because Troy didn’t get prominent vocals until the last two albums (the humanity ones) but Marco was only in the first two (the nature ones). Very cool all around, and I can’t wait to see what Nightwish does next.
Just listened to the album and WOW….So much food for thought and so many emotions….. THANK YOU TUOMAS, THANK YOU NIGHTWISH!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
5/5 or 10/10. This is perfect album. Marvelous Nightwish
First time listening to nightwish fair play this is incredible
The drumming from Kai on this album is out of this world
36:00 Children of Ata has such a catchy drum beat :D
It is really unbelievable. ❤️
drum god.
Huge fan of Jukka and miss him, but goddam delivered hard with this album. Feels like the first time that Toumas really managed to bring out the entire beast that is Kai.
It is a majestic album with beautiful music. Congratulations Nightwish 😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
That music is truly beautiful and majestic. It heals my soul. Nightwish creates true art❤🩹✨
We were here! In "Yesterwynde"
This album takes me on a journey into a very beautiful musical world.🥰
Aivan mahtava levy,jota osasimme odottaa jo eka lohkasulta,se soi päässä,yöt ja päivät monta viikkoa.Torstaina sit mieheni kanssa kuunneltiin ihan tärinässä,kolme kertaa peräkkäin et mitä ihmettä❤Oliko sit niin räjäyttävä et aamulla heräsin kuumeessa🤭Hahton rummutus yhes biisis on niin KOVA,et mietittiin et soittaako se jaloillakin🤣Kiitos Nightwish,ja eritotenTuomas ku oot luonu vuosiksi eteenpäin jotain kuunneltavaa,sanokoon kriitikot ja muut *viisaat*mitä haluavat.Ootte meidän koko perheen fanittama ja onneks saimme nähdä myös livenä,Vaasas..Ja Floorhan on paras naisartisti..❤
For me, this is your best since Imaginaerum, and has restored my enjoyment and love of your music, thank you!
If magic had a voice, it would be music, and Nightwish would be among the most powerful magicians.
Troy plays magic tricks, his voice is interesting too.
Leonard Cohen?
Especially at the end.
they lost all their magic long ago lol
@Mordorian_Orque No they didn't. You just hate change.
@@saviitrius no they did. There is no need in changes for the sake of changes. At least, they should have rebranded to avoid ruining their own legacy
@Mordorian_Orque You do realize they started changing their music _before_ Tarja was fired, right? Once came out with that cinematic sound that Nightwish _still_ has today, and no one batted an eye about it.
No one is "making changes for the sake of changes." Tuomas is writing whatever he wants, being a master at his craft under influence by things like Hans Zimmer's music and marine biology, and has been on brand for Nightwish's entire run. Broaden your mind a little bit. You would benefit greatly from it.
Edit: Totally forgot to mention that "A Return to the Sea," a song that _predates_ their cinematic sound, is on brand with this album and the last two. Soooo _pay attention to what you're listening to._
Absolute favorites so far:
The Antikythera Mechanism
Something Whispered Follow Me
Spider Silk
Wtf this is a masterpiece
I love endless forms, nature
But this is from another universe
And is amazing to see kai drums on these album so sick...
Kiitos! I will buy a physical copy as soon as I'm in a larger city, but thank you for releasing it officially this way! See you on tour some time!
I've finally bought it and finally listened to it. I'm crying and I don't know why. Thank you so much. I have no words. It's absolutely beautiful and full of emotions. I rememer why | love you, Nightwish. Thank you for all your music throughout the years. You've given me so much. And you've shown me again what you mean to me. Just... thank you. See you live soon.
Thank you for the stream, dear NW! Was wonderful to listen to it with other fans! ❤ I will now restart my own cd😃!
