Snaked Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Shoot! I put this in the wrong forum. If a mod sees this can you move it to MoTS please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Ooh...he is a genius. I am intrigued, and will be getting this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adace1 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm a huge Nightwish fan but an album about Scrooge just doesn't really interest me. I'll check it out of course though. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Tuomos is a huge Disney fan. Even if you don't enjoy the source material, I would imagine his enthusiasm for the subject matter will be infectious and accessible. For some reason, I keep thinking of that crazy concept album by Devin Townsend...Ziltoid? That was fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 How he got away with Disney, is the real question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Especially since Nightwish, like all metal bands, are banned from The Magic Kingdom. O well...I'm excited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Cool. And Since we know that Floor is joining Nightwish this is not like a solo project that will result in the end of Nightwish. It just a side project and with Floor we will get more Nightwish. Double cool. Definitely have to get this (plus any new Nightwish when that comes out). Now if I could just get to see Nightwish live. Their recent DVD is real good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I did love Annete. Still, woop woop Floor! And this Scrooge is sounding more and more like a funky little gem as time goes on! Bring on the McDuck love! I love the artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 The first single is out there if you look for it... and honestly, it really didn't grab me. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adace1 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 That song isn't too bad. She definitely has a great voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Johanna Kurkela? She was on Sonata's worst album, the one where they took a symphonic direction like Nightwish. I'm interested in what Tuomas has to do so long as the rest of the album is instrumental -_- Generally, I'm pretty particular with vocalists I enjoy, and on the top 3 list of vocalists I'll be close minded to are: Operatic Female (Nightwish, Evanescence), Angst Boy (Fall Out Boy, Green Day), and Generic Tough Guy (Disturbed, A7X). As far as I'm concerned Toumas is Nightwish. I love the orchestration which as far as I know, is what he's mainly responsible for. The not so impressive guitarist Emppu and not-my-style Tarja et al. are what keep me from listening. Emppu's solos aren't bad, they just could be a whole lot better if he was well versed ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I've just discovered this album and can't stop listening to it! Tuomas is a mad genius! Like me, he is a Disney fanatic and proud! A huge part of why I connect so strongly with Nightwish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
