I know that this album has been out for a long time and the next one is probably going to be out by next month. However, this is something that I would like to share with everyone out there reading my blog. Dark Passion Play is an interesting album, especially for Nightwish as this is the first time Nightwish produced an album without what is known as their signature voice. Nightwish collectively decided to fire their ex vocalist (Tara) who was a classically trained singer and is well known for her power soprano voice.
This album is what known to Nightwish themselves as a beginning of a new Era. Instead of having soprano voice fronting the band, they have chosen Anette, whose voice is closer to pop/rock style instead. Nonetheless, the album worked out well and kept the Nightwish element in the album.
The album has epic symphonic style, soft soothing ballads and hard trash metal style. It is overall a highly enjoyable experience when listening to this album. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't yet listen to this album yet to go ahead and give this album a try. It may not be the sophisticated Soprano fronted Nightwish we once knew but nonetheless a very enjoyable new era Nightwish.
