Not a chance. It's a great album, but the goofy "dark" vocals keep it from being a perfect album.

Nothing to add there are plenty of bands that do the operatic sound better than these guys, if people like Nightwish that's fine I don't really care.

Love this album. Slightly weaker than Century Child and tied with the Wishmaster as #2. But impact it had on symphonic power metal scene is unquestionable.

So by your 0 rating you feel that this album has no value whatsoever? Its not worthy of any points at all? Complete and utter shit? I am just asking because It seems like with you there is a straight line between excellent albums and shit albums with virtually no inbetween. What are the better bands that you refer to? I am not trying to fuck with you, I am honestly curious. You are entitled to your opinion, would just like for you to expand on it a bit.

Yeah, ts worthless shit in my opinion, but that's just it. If you like this more power to you, you could be listening to Five finger death punch after all.

I have a friend who thinks this way. Everything is either fucking amazing, or a worthless pile of shit and he hates it.

I'm sure it's no surprise to learn that he's also an idiot.

Then why don't you go back his fudge or something, I don't have anything else to say to some old curmudgeon that thinks Three days grace is good music. I said my piece if you like Nightwish thats fine, these guys have carved their own niche in this style of the music, been profitable, and made a lot of money in the process - good for them.

A person who is incapable of recognizing quality even if it's not to his or her own tastes is, typically, not very intelligent.

Personally I try my darndest best not to befriend idiots, but then that's just me.
