"...Holopainen's 3-track demo earned him his first record deal..." And then they decide to fill more than half the album with songs less than 10 years old, and only one song from the demo. Strange choice. Anyway, those tracks are on the remastered debut album, but still...

You know how everyone has that high school cringeworthy favorite from back in the day? Nightwish unfortunately was mine ::criiiinge:: After Forever was my absolute favorite but now Floor is making that even cringeworthy /sigh

Unless Floor is singing on the old material, there's no fuckin' reason to get this release...

Not a massive fan of Nightwish despite Imaginarium being a massive highlight for me. I agree with Angel_Lament, if Floor isn't on these tracks, there's no real point in picking it up. Maybe it's a good way for people who haven't heard of the band to get into them, but who hasn't heard of Nightwish these days?
