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 :(
There is a very large amount of things in this current time period I feel thankful for, and I feel quite privileged to live now. Nightwish is absolutely one of them.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 !
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! 🥰
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. 👍😊
Kuuntelin levyn yöllä pimeässä metsässä, koiran kanssa ulkoillessa, täysikuun valossa ja revontulien loistaessa järven yllä. Täydellinen Nightwish hetki sekä mahtava albumi ❤
@HeimlicherNATOaustrittFrieden für alle ❤️ Peace for all . Hier ist dafür kein Platz . Metal hat keine Richtung, auch wenn es dunkel scheint. Ich wünsche mir Frieden für alle Menschen der Welt
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.
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!
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!
What a coherent and refined album. Just fantastic. To me this is an outstanding piece. Even in Nightwish standards. Mature, elegant, beautiful, thrilling, captivating.
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).
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).
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.
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 waited two weeks to listen to this album because I was travelling. I wanted to sit and immerse myself fully into it for my first experience. I am so glad I did. Thank you, Tuomas, and thank you Nightwish. What a stunningly beautiful album. I find it the most wonderful irony when people say Nightwish has changed. They have released songs and albums now about evolution yet expect the band and songwriter to not evolve. Were you not listening?
Hello from Liverpool. I am loving this new album. A big thank you to all involved in producing this masterpiece. This will probably be a major part of my soundtrack to this autumn. I am awaiting surgery and dark nights. Music will play a big role in my recovery. And Nightwish will play a huge part. Take care, all who read this. And please ... BE KIND ...
Same you dier friend i want to say - Hay from Ukrenia, Odessa city!!! Your comment so specified ...like you are boss of f all in this album....im 48 years old, im so much like Nightwish and Tarja separated or together!!! Rial fan i feel from all way !!!! You are somewhere...not Sweden...how its working i don't know .... My 2 douter in Sweden,but for Tarja or Nightwish ... Only one interested....My girls so ...
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.
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 🇫🇮
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.💓
A gem of true art, among the rubbish that bombards us from everywhere. After "Human II Nature" it's incredible to present such a high aesthetic and quality album! What can we say about Floor, we bow to perfection. From Greece, thank you Nightwish.
Yeah this is a breath of fresh air after that wierd experimental crap! So glad they went back to their "Imaginearum" style. It is what they perfected and it is where they truly shine! Not some wierd atonal melody that isn't even a melody and has no clear beginning or end. This right from the start reminded me of Tlakltavi and i immediately relaxed and settled in for an hour of magic!
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.
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.❤
Floor is known for her powerful and lofty high notes, but Lanternlight really shows off her rich lower voice wonderfully, and the orchestration (and skilled mixing/production) allows plenty of space for all of her emotional nuances to shine. Of course, her transitions from high to low and back again seem effortless. Endless range most beautiful! Some Nightwish songs sound as though Tuomas wrote them and then handed them over expectantly to see how the vocalist would handle them. This song employs Floor's voice to such great effect that it feels like he wrote it for her to sing. A fine finish to this mighty work.
I think Tuomas always writes the songs with the strengths of the current singer in mind. Strong, operatic notes for Tarja, something a bit more lighter to fit Annette's voice and now whatever serves the song, Floor can sing it all.
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Oh, yes - he's keenly aware of their ranges and tonal qualities for sure. What I was (perhaps inadequately) trying to express is that some songs seem almost like a test or demonstration of the vocalist (not solely as an exercise - the art is still front and center) where their virtuosity becomes a focal point. For me, this track feels like it's powered more by feelings, and that Tuomas knew that Floor could convey those in a way that only she could. How fortunate are we to be here to listen?!
@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._
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.
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!
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 💗
Perhaps the most cohesive Nightwish album to date and with the highest concentration of good songs. They really outdid themselves this time. A masterpiece imho.
This is a unique album filled with emotions and energy!!! THE BEST IN THEIR STYLE!!! I listen and admire!!!! Thank you from Russia, we are not enemies, believe me!!!
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.
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...
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 ❤
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!!!
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.
Onpa vaan käsittämättömän upea levy!! Ostan LP orkesteri version heti- kun sen löydän. Amazing, tälleen itä-suomalaisittain. Vihdoinkin jotain kuunneltavaa -siis useasti!!!!
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!
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.
Most poignant and beautiful album you've ever made by a wide margin. It brings me to tears in a way that only The Greatest Show on Earth has done before it.
3 หลายเดือนก่อน +13
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.
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.
Nightwish transcends typical genres - be it metal or symphonic metal. They are a genre unto themselves. Through their evolution over the years, they have become something completely unique. This album does not disappoint... well done, Nightwish!
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! 🥰
Without a doubt my top 1 album of the year, my favorite songs: 1. An Ocean of Strange Islands 2. Perfume of the Timeless 3. The Antikythera Mechanism 4. The Weave 5. The Day of... 6. The Children of 'Ata 7. Hiraeth 8. Sway 9. Yesterwynde
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.
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!
Wow! Welcome back Nightwish! Wondered what you will come up next but this sure beats all expectations. This album can't be described/explained to anyone and give it the credit it deserves. For Nightwish fans this is a continuation of an amazing journey that, thankfully, has no end in sight. In fact, it is almost scary to think what follows this album but, hey, I will wait. In the meantime, I will be annoying as many people as I can by playing this over and over...yet, it won't take long until they also are converts to this utter perfection...I will now turn the lights off, turn up the volume and dissolve into this magical world Tuomas has, yet again, shared with us. Thank you and, please, we are waiting in Perth for 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. 🙏😊👍❤️
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.
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.
.... without Tarja they have bacame way worse
They are still great btw.....
@@egcozinon nah they evolved.
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 a common practice for many bands and labels since a few years ago.
BEST ALBUM OF 2024 !!
better than Abyss or The Mandrake Project or The Grand Inferno or Metalation? LOL
Just think how lucky we are to be born in the same period of time when this fabulous band performs.
There is a very large amount of things in this current time period I feel thankful for, and I feel quite privileged to live now. Nightwish is absolutely one of them.
The people of Mozart's time were also lucky to live in his era 😉
more one listens, more addictive it becomes, deeper gets into his soul. Truly a masterpiece!
turn on the sound dude
Absolutely 💯 ❤.
This album is magical ✨️ 😍 😊
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

It is really unbelievable. ❤️

yo no se de que se quejan par o tres bobos hijueputas, llevo escuchando esta album 24/7 es increible todo lo que ofrece a nive sonoro
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
For me, this is the best Nightwish album.
Real symphonic metal from start to finish, with hauntingly beautiful melodies. Art, inspiration and wonder.
Erős Therion-kópia annak is az unalmasabb érájából. Számomra megdöbbentően unalmas album.
I absolutely agree with you 💯❣️👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I've been following nightwish more than 24 years, never disappointed i love them.
I think it's time to have a concert with an orchestra with such remarkable tracks.Thank you again Nightwish for this masterpiece!!!
What an incredible album. Nightwish has reached an unbelievable peak of musical creativity and performance.
I waited two weeks to listen to this album because I was travelling. I wanted to sit and immerse myself fully into it for my first experience. I am so glad I did. Thank you, Tuomas, and thank you Nightwish. What a stunningly beautiful album. I find it the most wonderful irony when people say Nightwish has changed. They have released songs and albums now about evolution yet expect the band and songwriter to not evolve. Were you not listening?
Hello from Liverpool. I am loving this new album. A big thank you to all involved in producing this masterpiece. This will probably be a major part of my soundtrack to this autumn. I am awaiting surgery and dark nights. Music will play a big role in my recovery. And Nightwish will play a huge part. Take care, all who read this. And please ... BE KIND ...
Same you dier friend i want to say - Hay from Ukrenia, Odessa city!!!

Hello from New Mexico, USA. I am recovering from a stroke. Nightwish is the perfect balm. Best wishes to you.
@@dr.maturin4648 Wow,than you!!! Be honest its stile of my life....best wishes for you...
This is defenitely one of the best albums by Nightwish, if not the best 🤘❤️
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.
We were here! In "Yesterwynde"
it is an amazing gift to upload a brand new album this early. Will definitely buy physical as well.
There is a song for everyone. All is a masterpiece since the beginning Nightwish best band.
Great pice of art! Long live Nightwish!!
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 🇫🇮
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.💓
A gem of true art, among the rubbish that bombards us from everywhere. After "Human II Nature" it's incredible to present such a high aesthetic and quality album! What can we say about Floor, we bow to perfection. From Greece, thank you Nightwish.
Yeah this is a breath of fresh air after that wierd experimental crap! So glad they went back to their "Imaginearum" style. It is what they perfected and it is where they truly shine! Not some wierd atonal melody that isn't even a melody and has no clear beginning or end. This right from the start reminded me of Tlakltavi and i immediately relaxed and settled in for an hour of magic!
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.
Hello to all, greetings from Germany. And Peace for the whole world. And thanks to Nightwish for the great music. ❤
Auch Dir, Grüsse und einen herzlichen Friedenswunsch.
Die Welt braucht das so dringend...
@@bernd.reichel Peace to you as well. ✌️
Meine Frau: "Was wünscht du dir zu Weihnachten.." Ich: (sing).."Ein bißchen Frieden, ein bißchen..😥.."
Tuomas is genius of our time. So happy to be alive to listen this and the older nightwish also.
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.❤
Whole album is just ❤️😘😘❤️genious as always. 😘🇫🇮
Floor is known for her powerful and lofty high notes, but Lanternlight really shows off her rich lower voice wonderfully, and the orchestration (and skilled mixing/production) allows plenty of space for all of her emotional nuances to shine. Of course, her transitions from high to low and back again seem effortless. Endless range most beautiful!
Some Nightwish songs sound as though Tuomas wrote them and then handed them over expectantly to see how the vocalist would handle them. This song employs Floor's voice to such great effect that it feels like he wrote it for her to sing. A fine finish to this mighty work.
She's mainly known for being the 3rd best nightwish singer.
I think Tuomas always writes the songs with the strengths of the current singer in mind. Strong, operatic notes for Tarja, something a bit more lighter to fit Annette's voice and now whatever serves the song, Floor can sing it all.
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Oh, yes - he's keenly aware of their ranges and tonal qualities for sure. What I was (perhaps inadequately) trying to express is that some songs seem almost like a test or demonstration of the vocalist (not solely as an exercise - the art is still front and center) where their virtuosity becomes a focal point.
For me, this track feels like it's powered more by feelings, and that Tuomas knew that Floor could convey those in a way that only she could.
How fortunate are we to be here to listen?!
@@rabiatorthegreat6163 Maybe..
"Endless laundry most beautiful"! Floor quote.
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._
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.
Never have I heard such a beautifully crafted and melodic piece such as this I love it thank you night wish from a very relaxed 69year old man.
Only 66 here and thinking same way!
69 OLD MAN nice age and still listen metal music .Nigthwish have a big spirit my friend :):)
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!
Fantastic work!. Nightwish never fails….spin away Nightwish!. Keep spinning out awesome songs!. Love from Lagos Nigeria!.
Bloody marvellous, and another Nightwish album that is going to get played to death when I'm tinkering in my shed!
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 💗
I want to say thank you Nightwish...I was expecting a good album....but for me its a masterpiece....
Perhaps the most cohesive Nightwish album to date and with the highest concentration of good songs. They really outdid themselves this time. A masterpiece imho.
This is a unique album filled with emotions and energy!!! THE BEST IN THEIR STYLE!!! I listen and admire!!!! Thank you from Russia, we are not enemies, believe me!!!
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.
I cannot help myself, I am completely drawn to this album. I find myself "must" listening.
Same
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! 🔥🎶
The bass lines really got some love in this one.
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 ❤
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!!!
Omg THE WEAVE is my favorite from this album. So powerful
Long bad day. Listened to this album. All is good now. Thank you for always lifting me up.❤
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.
This is the first Nightwish album I've bought, and I think it's superb!
Onpa vaan käsittämättömän upea levy!! Ostan LP orkesteri version heti- kun sen löydän. Amazing, tälleen itä-suomalaisittain. Vihdoinkin jotain kuunneltavaa -siis useasti!!!!
❤❤❤❤
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!
In a world full of misery and woe, I am thankful we have Nightwish to hold the torch of humanity.
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.
Most poignant and beautiful album you've ever made by a wide margin. It brings me to tears in a way that only The Greatest Show on Earth has done before it.
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.
💯
💯
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.
Nightwish transcends typical genres - be it metal or symphonic metal. They are a genre unto themselves. Through their evolution over the years, they have become something completely unique. This album does not disappoint... well done, Nightwish!
100% - NIGHTWISH is their OWN Genre. !!!!!
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! 🥰
Same here. I'm in the gym right now, working out and listening the best Nightwish album ever! So much positive vibes, so much energy, love it! ❤
Running to Nightwish is probably one of my favorite things to do in life, so exhilarating!
This is their greatest work. I pity the people who didn't enjoy it. I am addicted to this masterpiece. HOW is this so good? Sheesh

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.
A lot of my music comes from your inspiration, I loved the album.
Every time I listen to this album I find i love it more and more.
это монументальнейший альбом! до дрожи пробирает. огромное спасибо!
The more I listen to this album, the more beautiful it gets!
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 like how Tuomas with Nightwish (and Floor) can ingeniously select listeners from simple/stuck to creative ones like himself.
Years later this album will be a cult.
Perfect music...
And no band will ever come close to the point Nightwish has reached.
It will age like milk
Crimson King
Na zamku karmazynowego króla, posłuchaj może zdążysz
Wow! Welcome back Nightwish! Wondered what you will come up next but this sure beats all expectations. This album can't be described/explained to anyone and give it the credit it deserves. For Nightwish fans this is a continuation of an amazing journey that, thankfully, has no end in sight. In fact, it is almost scary to think what follows this album but, hey, I will wait. In the meantime, I will be annoying as many people as I can by playing this over and over...yet, it won't take long until they also are converts to this utter perfection...I will now turn the lights off, turn up the volume and dissolve into this magical world Tuomas has, yet again, shared with us. Thank you and, please, we are waiting in Perth for you....
It is a majestic album with beautiful music. Congratulations Nightwish 😊😊🙏🙏🤘🤘
Разбередили душу до мурашек, сижу и плачу .
I'm a huge fan of the album ❤🎉
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. 🙏😊👍❤️
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
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.
