To start, there are a lot of bad feeling about Within Temptation nowadays, mainly since "The Silent Force" was released a few years after the frankly wonderful "Mother Earth." Fans just couldn't understand why the band they loved were beginning to move from from heavily symphonic metal to a more mainstream sounding Evanescence clone. Sadly, I agreed with this sentiment, and come the release of "The Heart of Everything" I was pretty much too depressed with the change to listen to WT any more. Don't get me wrong, both albums have some really great tracks on them, but I like my metal a little bit less MTV all the same.

Decent album I guess, but I feel this is not nearly as good as it could be. It's actually a bit uninteresting on some parts.

Very boring and repetitive. Even the growls are not that good.

The only gothic album done by Within Temptation, and it's their best in my opinion.

I think many people would like this if they just bother to listen to it. It's their best album by far imo, and they were actually quite decent up until The Heart Of Everything, but after that downfall was spectacular. There's hardly a band out there with a wider gap between the best and the worst album. Perhaps only Metallica.

Lo , I love those idiots that rate this 1 and such, just because it's cool to ... I bet that these people doesn't even bother to hear at all or if they do it's so biased that it doesn't matter.

I have nothing against the musicianship of this record; my main criticism is mostly concerned with the production which is amended in their next album by using real orchestral instruments. Hell each song is great! Restless is a magnificent highlight, but my love goes to the closing track, Candles, probably my favorite track of their whole discography! Sharon is howling like a wolf! Very spooky!

Grew on me, half the songs are atrocious, but half are gothic monuments that I always come back to.
