To have or not to have... expectations?

For me, it's stale since Once. I didn't see a vibrancy in Nightwish music other than hype. I wish they could understand that hogging on marketing wouldn't last if music is slowly and sadly decaying.

This is how I feel. I wish I could feel the hype.

After the last efforts I'm going into this with absolutely zero expectations, so maybe I'll actually be impressed. Time will tell.

So, that's the new studio Wintersun want?

I have low expectations, but it's hard to think anything could be as dull as their last record.

I'm in the minority, but I still think Dark Passion Play was actually a good album. Sure, not the same as the older albums, but still awesome. The albums with Floor have been the worst, despite Floor being a good singer.

Yes I love Dark Passion play as well, it was the last good nightwish album.

I'm not a fan at all, but I probably still hold the most unpopular Nightwish opinion. I dislike everything up to Once, which I find ok along with Dark Passion Play. I dislike Imaginaerum, but I quite like Endless Forms. Human Nature (or however the fuck you write it) had two good songs and a good second CD imo.

Yeah. It's weird.

Am I the only one holding the opinion that Imaginaerum was their absolute peak?

Yes.

Well, they always say my musical taste is unique.

It is a great album to be fair, I appreciate the eclectic range of styles, theatrical performances, and storytelling on it. It's as good as or even slightly better than Dark Passion Play, I think. I'd rate Oceanborn, Century Child, and Once above it though.

Zero expectations is for the best. I was so excited after Floor joined and what she did on stage with Ghost Love Score and The Poet and the Pendulum for example. Sadly we were given two albums that are not near the level of what I expected from that amazing line-up. Too much Tuomas, not enough of the rest imo
