How can 2 people possibly have this album it hasnt even been fully recorded yet. Fix these bugs metalstorm

It is because you can add simply anything into your collection, and if such an album exist in database, it is automatically linked...there would be a lot of useless work trying to disallow adding albums that - a) exist in db and b) were not released yet

It is not in stores now!
stop this lies People!

Cant wait for this one. they take too long between albums though, now that they're famous.

I want this fucking album.

Dont let me be disapointed!

I can't wait!:wall: Is too much to wait! I want it!

Eugh fuck the film, i'd rather just have the album sooner than have an album+film.

What ever this album is like, however good, we will get months and months of "I love Tarja".

Some people just don't know how to let go.

I don't understand peoples obsession with Tarja, by the standards of many other female singers in metal, she is a long way down my list of favorites.
Praise Tuomas for having the balls to tell her to get lost.

I'm looking forward to the album, I am interesting in what Tuomas will do with Anette Olzen now that she has been around for a long time. Seriously f**k Tarja!

I love the atmosphere Tarja was able to make with her vocals. Way better and more epic than Annete.

That's all.

So, the rating is so low because the Tarjaholics were here... Grow up, seriously!

You're jumping to conclusions. This album doesn't even have a rating since it hasn't been released yet...

I don't think its just Tarja that people miss. When I think about Nightwish with Tarja I think about Angels Fall First, Oceanborn and Wishmaster. Thats what I miss, these three albums, that particular style that Nightwish had.

Annette is without a doubt a great singer, but now Nightwish falls into the "meh" category of generic symphonic metal.

Well I guess this album will be released a bit sooner, as it was predicted at first...

Now there you do have a point, but still Nightwish was changing long before Tarja left. Unfortunately that's the way many bands go. A few brilliant albums then a few decades of music that just never quite measures up to that golden era.

The thing about Nightwish is that they still produce high quality music. Their production is impeccable, musicianship is still very good, and song writing remains amazing. My problem with them is that I loved the style of the first three albums.

To me it feels like from Century Child on you get a great first listen experience; mainly because of the bombastic combination of a full blown orchestra and top notch Heavy Metal. But then the songs become shallow and monotonous. While on the other hand you have the three classic albums that somehow always seem to remain fresh.

I am really looking forward to Imaginarium, but I am already expecting "more of the same." I don't think I will be disappointed, but I know that it will sound like the countless Symphonic Metal albums out there, but with a much bigger budget.

Nightwish are still good in all of those area's, it is the same with many bands, they still remain 'good' but their style changes for whatever reason (ie time, money, patience, or boredom) They many go back to that sound at some point, but the fact is they have changes since the days of Oceanborn/Wishmaster and they are unlikely to return to that style. Just like Metallica are unlikely to ever produce another Master of Puppets.

First track-by-track review of the album. Sounds very promising!

Anette's confirmation? Can't wait for this album!!!!

Cant fucking wait !!!!!!!!!!!

Tarja's gone now.. please people, don't continue tarja vs anette, anette vs tarja ..
that was in Dark Passion Play era, now it's Imaginaerum..

I like the fact that they have put in a fuck load of work on this album. I can't wait for this one enough!

Listened to the Single once. Not bad, but not exactly wow-ed either. Wish the guitars are a bit more prominent in the mix.

Wikipeadia says it won't be released in Australia untill early January next year. Can anyone confirm this?

Nightwish - The Crow, The Owl and The Dove has been leaked

Nightwish - The Crow, The Owl and The Dove has been leaked

It was released via Donald Duck Finland, so it's not a leak actually.

And it's a rubbish song. Only heard it once and had no urge to replay it again ._.
Better wait for the whole album >.>
