Segue Myles Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 10. The Truth Beneath the Rose Ok. Longer Track. I just picture this band rocking out while going through dark forests, lol. I hear Kate Bush now. Definatly in her higher notes. A Kate Bush collaboration would be INSANE. This one feels the most like it could fit in a fantasy film. Mick It's so funny, on their first two albums and EP, as they became bigger, the Kate Bush comparisons came flooding in (you hear it most in Mother Earth). She had no idea, the band didn't either. So when they listened to Kate Bush they actually heard the similarity, and recorded a cover of Running Up That Hill as a between album single! I love that they did this! But this bombastic side of their music was already evolving before Evanescence came along. The only difference between this album and 2001's Mother Earth is more skill and a HUGE budget. WT are superstars in Europe (and they sold out Wembley, and supported Maiden!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 11. Forgiven. Love the Piano intro. this one's gonna be sad, lol This is Most like a sad theater ballad. The girl in a spotlight center stage. I love the cello here. this one's stunning nice to hear a song that doesn't explode in bombast. Great closer. So i give this a solid 9/10. i will be returning. Cause this could make perfect score. Mick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 This and The Silent Force were staples of my youth. FACT: Sharon Den Adel's had no vocal training. Completely self taught, down to this day. Same as Cristina Scabbia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Glad you liked them though. They don't have quite the emotional resonance with me that Nightwish has, and no way do they mean as much to me as LC (nothing does), but Nightwish are pure escapism for me. I always feel lifted when I play them. And they mean more to me for many reasons than most bands. They changed my life and listening habits all the way back in 2005.

I am going through a phase where I am reading more than listening to music, and i swear I have the least patience for new sounds than I have had in years! Plus...battling some bad times. I sorta quietly hate everything BUT I have enjoyed Bowie. I sorta connect with him, he shares that sort of anti-conformity that I have. I love him, so far I haven't hated anything (although Space Oddity is not my favourite recent new album experience). But even with him I am not ravenous. I know I have been negative. Not really loving this side to me atm haha! (It's so bad I actually cannot stand Toto at this moment in time, THAT HURTS!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 And I really cannot stand cheese ATM. Today's WT was the most I have enjoyed bombast (I know Nightwish are cheesy to many but for personal reasons they are poets to my soul). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 And I hate Dream Theater. Which is odd coz I love them! I seriously need to lighten up. Or embrace the fact that lately I have enjoyed musicals more than rock n roll. Which now I come to think of it explains why I lived WT today... Hhhhmmmmm...maybe more soundtracks are what I need! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
