I agree with the score. To me it's much much better than the debut, but not as good as Wishmaster or Century Child. Once being a slight step below all three IMO.
By the time I got into the band Once was being released, but I was recommended by a friend to pick up Wishmaster instead. To this day it's still my favorite Nightwish album maybe slightly because it was my first. As for Oceanborn, maybe because I got hooked on the others first, maybe because of the thicker operatic vocal sound, it took me a little longer to fully embrace. Once I did I have enjoyed it emensly. Not a single weak track here. So to me it comes down to overall preference.
The Anette albums are so different in style, especially vocally that I see them as almost two completely different bands.
Btw, I'm new here to the forums. But I already like it here. My name is Tim and I am from Long Beach, CA. I love metal and also speak French.
Partly in an effort to derail the thread again: Welcome to the forums! J'espère que tu t'amuses ici.
