I don't care much for these "making of" type videos. The only part I like is Anette biting the apple, somehow it looks really cool. I don't know why...

Because "Snow White & The Seven Dwarves" is your favourite movie.

I adore that type of videos, so I'll have to see this. And maybe you have a Snow White fetish thing going on?

It doesn't seem too far-fetched to say that Anette is only in the band because of her affinity for outrageous dresses and other attire. Tuomas is playing dress-up and real-life storytime. This is fine but if they do The Little Mermaid I'm out!

Well, actually, she doesn't have affinity for outrageous attire... when on tours, she chooses to wear a normal woman's fancy dress.
Not at all dark or quirky or playful. Pretty Barbie like, actually:


Not saying anything's wrong with that, but, really, their CD's will sell even if she dresses herself the way she chooses to... the marketing experts of their team shouldn't be worried about it enough to dress a 40 year old woman and a mother of two children into attire that doesn't suit her personally.

And not saying that middle-aged women can't rock the quirky dress. But in order to do that, they should actually like it.

The song is actually good imo. But yeah... I still find Anette's voice a little off from Nightwish environment.

The video I don't care that much, but I'm curious to watch the actual movie.

I'm not a fan of those "making of" videos either... Besides, the zombie Snow White and Stephen King's IT of the Caribbean theme they're exploiting these days is beyond my taste as well. Did I see Joker, btw? I'd prefer them to handle some classical, medieval, folk or oriental themes instead.

But I'm not watching the videos anyway, I'm in for the sound and the sound is satisfying just as I hoped.

You got a plus one from Angel Reaper, I'm giving you a minus one which means I neutralised you.

The song's just very very commercial and simplistic in the extreme. The reason why I am not complaining is because it is still better than Eva, Wish I Had An Angel and Bye Bye Beautiful. Horrible singles don't mean horrible albums, when it comes to Nightwish. Amaranth certainly did't predict anything as epic as The Poet And The Pendulum, but that's what we got from the actual album. Well, here's hoping!

Actually, the reason has been explained well in a Youtube comment: "An Apple a day keeps the Tarja away."*





*Also, I have a Snow White fetish.

I think it sounds like a pseudo-symphonic metal band with heavy pop influences. The song is incredibly simplistic, although there is a certain "catchy" factor to it. Annette's vocals are typically weak here too which doesn't help any.

I'm not fond of music videos in general and metal videos in particular. The tend to be poorly made and/or with no real connection to the song anyway.

About this video I think we got ourselves a good mix of Snow White, Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman and It. Probably more as I'm no expert in movies.

Awesome comment. That might be the reason why I'm not into Tarja at all, I eat at least three per day (semi-healthy eater, yes)

And btw, skimming over the news headlines, i saw SLAYTIME, too much caffeine perhaps?

Who cares it's simplistic. It sounds good to me and I only listen to what sounds good to me. Can't pretend to listen to "quality" music only...
Yep, this song is catchier than "Eva" and therefore more suitable as a single. However, "Eva" is a beautiful song nevertheless and I enjoy it every now and then. "Angel" was good and catchy when it was released and it's good for pleasing crowds during concerts but I don't feel so thrilled to listen to the album version as I was years ago. "Beautiful"... same thing... fresh work from the band and serves well to please the crowds desperate to devour the new album. Later, it doesn't really click you... Same with "Amaranth"... "Storytime" has a somewhat more bombastic sound and that's probably why it is a bit superior to the previous ones. I certainly the expect the album to contain a lot more interesting and powerful material...

True, but Tuomas seems to like to play dress-up some of the time, so that might be reason to have her. Would Tarja wear that dress? That's the question.

Well I don't think that's the sole reason, seeing how a lot of people like to dress up, maybe she's just prone to suggestion
And sure she would. They'd make her.

How many dresses could Tarja wear during one performance? If I remember correctly she wore that "banana" dress (with a yellow microphone) during every show... This is even goofier...

The awkward moment when you see the top of Tarja's outfit and thinking that's the most lovely one you've seen, and then it zooms out and reveal the yellowest of yellow skirts. We agree sir.
