Parliamo qui di tutto quello che riguarda questa fantastica band, capitanata ora dalla nuova voce, Anette Olzon!

semplicemente il mio gruppo preferito. poche volte ho venerato un gruppo come sto facendo da ormai un annetto con loro.

di loro mi piace praticamente tutto, i testi, la musica di oceanborn sognante , quella di century child così rabbiosa e quella di once, con un qualcosa di decadente in più rispetto agli altri album.

e mi piace anette, e soprattutto dark passion play, per me un lavoro azzeccatissimo musicalmente.

non so che altro dire, li amo xD

L'idealismo romantico alla fichte.......

cheeeeee??? xD

Century Child resta per me l'album perfetto, a cui difficilmente arriveranno di nuovo nel mio cuore. Perché ogni canzone esprime un sentimento diverso, è come un percorso nella vita di una persona che tocca nostalgia, disperazione, amore, ira e odio, tristezza, speranza, sensualità (che nei loro cd non manca mai). I testi sono i migliori scritti da Tuomas, che usciva da un momento complesso e le frasi che li accompagnano nel libretto sono al loro pari.

Credo si sia capito che ho scarso feeling con Anette, sto aspettando di vedere cosa combina live per giudicare definitivamente.

Il mio preferito resta Oceanborn seguito da Angels Fall First.

Dato l'andazzo power non ho mai amato più di tanto questo gruppo, non possono nemmeno vantarmi di essere stato un grande fan di Tarja che apprezzo sicuramente ma mi emoziona solo in alcuni brani.
Eppure adesso mi ritrovo a rimpiangerla, data la presenza di Voi-Sapete-Chi .
All'ultimo album do un 7.

Li amo. Più di qualunque altra cosa, gruppo, persona (sempre in ambito musicale, eh). Sono la band che ha praticamente scritto la mia vita, senza cui sarei ancora in una fase triste e nera. Amo le composizioni, i testi e la voce di Tarja.
Anette è invece un terribile colpo al cuore -_-...

Ottima band. C'è qualcosa di sottile nella loro musica e non sbagliano mai nella loro ampollosità e nell'ermetismo. Tuomas ha cresciuto una grande creatura.
Certo non concepisco come una Anette ci sia finita in mezzo!
In tutti i casi, sono state pubblicate le lyrics ufficiali di DPP su sito ufficiale e italiano.

Qualche video del primo show, mah...

Che schifo.
Con tutto il cuore.

vabbè adesso non esageriamo
come si fa a dare un giudizio da 18 secondi spezzettati di vedo/non vedo...

La qualità è quantomeno scarsissima, però Slaying the Dreamer proprio non me l'aspettavo live.

Non credevo fosse nelle sue corde, specie gli acuti finali.

Non sto esagerando. Non mi piace la sua voce, live o non live, il suo modo di muoversi e, soprattutto, le mani alzate alla Romanticide durante una ballata pseudo-drammatica come Eva .

Recensione entusiasta:

nette rocks so much. I mean, I thought she would not have a stage presence, because, you know, first concert and all. But she was moving around all the time, really really getting into the songs, interacting with the audience during the songs and rocking along. She made eye contact with basically everyone in the first rows! During some song she looked at me for a sec while singing and I put my both thumbs up and mouthed "you rock!!!" and she bowed a little grin.gif That was so cute. Anyway!! She was really fantastic, I mean, I had high hopes but she was even more than I had hoped for. What was weird was that I thought old songs sounded much better than the new ones. The new ones sounded a bit insecure. Anyway, you will be blown away by her rendition of Come Cover Me and She is my Sin. She was uberfantastic in Eva and ever dream and Wishmaster and the Islander! She really did add a totally new touch to Wishmaster, I really enjoyed it. They have a new cool intro for it too. Tpatp - what can I say? Brilliant! In one part that song which had really sad lyrics (won't post them because there are ppl who still don't want to be spoiled grin.gif), Anette really seemed like bursting into tears any second, she was SO much into the song. She was into every song actually! She really felt the lyrics and interpreted them very well. The beginning of Eva (until the verse that starts "mocked by man..") it was just Tuomas and Anette together, Anette sitting on the drum podium (in front of the drums, not behind them ofcourse, lol) and Tuomas behind the keyboards (naturally), no one else. I have a video of that but the quality is shiiiite. Slaying the Dreamer was SO cool, the song really fits her voice, and you should hear her do the aaaaahhhh-s in the end of the song! She really sang from her heart, eyes closed 'n all. On the contrary to pacius' opinion, I think Sleeping Sun rocked. Her vocals were stunning on that one aswell. Especially the "aaahhh"-s before the guitar solo. I just stood there with my jaw down to the floor! Bbb was alright, the sound was so messed up I didnt hear Anette at all though. Cadence was great, she encouraged the crowd to jump along and everything. Sahara was gooooood. The speech before Sahara went (roughly) like that:
Anette: "Aaahhh... It's so warm in here"
Marco: "Yeah it indeed is quite warm!"
Anette: Marco, tell me, have you ever been to the desert?
Marco: *some totally indecipherable speech about desers and then:* And now we'll take you to a real one!
Nemo really suits Anettes voice, and she sings "Nemo sailing home, Nemo letting go" until the end of the song, like the whole ending. That was new.
Amaranth wasn't as cool as I had hoped for it to be, it seemed a bit slower than the original version. But hey, it was good nevertheless. Dcow was good, nothing too special about it (or atleast I don't remember anything about it because there was some drunk man behind me trying to um.. climb over me to get closer to Anette).

During almost every song she walked over to Marco/Jukka/Emppu/Tuomas and rocked with them, with a smile on of course grin.gif She interacted with the guys very much, and they were all smiling all the time, and it was good to see. Very good to see!

After the last song ended, every band guy hugged Anette one by one and they all had a wiiiiiiiide smile on, and they congratulated her and patter her and she was beaming with happiness, really. Then the lights went out and they pointed a spotlight on her and the crowd roared and clapped so loud that I really thought I was gonna lose my hearing! She mouthed 'thank you, thank you, thank youuu' and bowed. Then, Marco was drinking vodka, of course, and Anette walked over. Marco offered her the bottle, she took a sip and made a really funny face, haha. Then Marco gave her a bottle of water and she took a sip from it and was back to normal again grin.gif Then they all held eachothers hand, bowed several times, then someone took lots of pictures of them with the crowd on the background. And then Emppu threw his picks into the crowd and Anette waved at us several times and then they left, all still waving at us.
