This music is basically drugs.
I've been a Nightwish fan since Once. I raged when they let Tarja go, I raged when they took on Anette, then raged again when they split ways after the shockingly good Imaginaerum.
But this album erased all my worries about the band's "casting" choices.
I can honestly say that EFMB is the best Nightwish album to date.
Floor is amazing!!!...never seen a vocalist perform like she does. She is absolutely Magnificent !! Marco and Troy do a brilliant job backing her Marco kicks ass to be truthful vocals and instrumentally...Floor covers the Folk, strait forward Rock, Metal, Opera. Plus her theatrics and presence on stage and the small details that add to make a EPIC SHOW!!!!
When I watched this video months ago it gave me a urge to get up from the sofa and go out to grow something. I have never been gardening in my entire life but today I picked my first home grown tomatoes and it felt amazing! I don't really know why I'm writing this but... Thanks for the tomatoes?
If anyone is curious, the first verse is in Welsh. The translation is:
"Sain y niwl,
Gaunt y goydwig fwsog,
Gwenithfaen, cen y coed, a'r lleuad,
Un gway f'adenydd i dapestri bywyd"
"Sound and fog,
The moss goat,
Granite, cemetery, and moon,
A whistle of my life tapestry"
(Yes, terribly lost in translation)
