April 30, 200817 yr Can't say I'm a huge fan of the Nightwish "new direction" tbh, or indeed this single.... Anete is just nowhere near the standard of Tarja in terms of vocals (which is very apparent when you see her perform Nightwish's older material live...).. I've been more impressed with the male vocals on "Dark Passion Play" actually, I think it perhaps would have been best to completely draw a line under the Tarja years and go in a completely different direction and have powerful male vocals rather than hiring a rather poor replacement for Tarja.... Yes, it may mean never being able to play the older stuff ever again, but, frankly would any real fan want to hear a second-rate vocalist do a 'Tarja Karaoke' anyway...? I know I certainly don't.... Anete would be good in an Evanescence, Lacuna Coil or Theatre of Tragedy sort of band, she's just not for Nightwish...
