OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

In my own opinion, NIGHTWISH is much much much better than Rhapsody. While Rhapsody always brings the same route again and again with their progressive power metal, and it has lots of repetitions in their music -which is soooo boring!-, Nightwish delivers a great combination of gothic progressive metal and operatic female vocal which is always gives something new and refreshing in their music. This album for instance, actually is a collection of 1 new material, 1 cover track, 2 re-recorded tracks and the rests are live tracks. But, it has something you should listen to. Their music as always, so dynamic with powerful double pedal drums, heavy guitar riffs and melodius operatic voice. Even Gary Moore's classic "Over the Hills and Far Away" sounds so fresh and new. Very excellent. Overall this album is great, a must have for open-minded progressive metal fans.
