What a naff album by a naff band! Silly operative overtures with grunge guitar, bleedin awful vocals and stupid lyrics. I hate this band, they do nothing for me. In fact I'm embarrased to play any of their music!!!

This album is rather crappy. My main problem with the album is the severe shortage of guitar solos. Secondly, Tuomas's writing has apparently gone to crap (Wish I Had An Angel is the WORST song I've ever heard). Thirdly, Marco's vocals suck and have gotten worse since Century Child. Other than having an annoying voice, he can't seem to sing in key. I didn't think anything could suck as much as his vocals on Phantom Of The Opera from Century Child, but his vocals on Wish I Had An Angel manage to take the cake. The bottom line is that Wishmaster was a masterpiece, and this band has gone downhill ever since that album. Century Child was still ok, but Once is utter crap.

This is the crappiest album I have heard this year. What beutiful vocals I ask? What beutiful ballads? Yer right. I give this a thumbs down. The review system is being totally abused, as I belive a lot of these '5' reviews are coming from the same people. Nightwish are the worst Metal band thats come out in over decade. Period.

I don't know what the reviewers are carrying on about here. It's Evanescence-type dreck with an orchestra. Silly people creating really silly music.

this album is so bad it makes me want to kick my mum in the face. i hate it. nightwish are the worst band ever. i don't really understand what the other guy was thinking, this is bad plus eight. all the members love gladiator and the lead singer's favourite actor is russel crowe. every song is bad times eight. i hate it.

First track, bum, bum, bum. bum, yip! yip! yip!. How can anybody say this band is fantastic? They are total and utter crap!!!!! I can only describe this as [...] nerd music for lonely teens. Buy this at your peril!!!!!
