I'd say so, there's a few really good songs, a bunch of good songs, and a few meh songs. I don't remember if you're anti-Annette (apart from the obvious "Nightwish was better with Tarja"), but I've found post-Tarja nightwish to sound a lot better if you don't focus on the fact that it's nightwish, and just enjoy the music. But that's just me. Ghost River and Song of Me (at least the first half, Tuomas blabbers on in spoken word for the second half) are songs to check out if you're on the fence, youtube :)

I'm not anti-Annette. I think the "original" had something magical with Tuomas writing and Tarja singing. But the magic never continues forever. Bands break up, people go on to new challenges -- its the way of the universe. I'm just glad the magic got recorded so we can keep listening to it.

And IMO both the "new Nightwish" and the "new Tarja" have stuff well worth listening to.

Not all of it .... but then again not all of the original was worth listening to either.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Light in Guinevere's Garden, by East West
In the Mean Time, by Gretchen
Songs to Burn your Bridges by, by Project 86
Celldweller by Celldweller
Argyle Park Misguided Compellation.
Kansas, by Jennifer Knapp
Brutal Reality, by Generation
Plagues and Woes, by Elder
Vegas Car Chasers, by Silage
Couple others like Klank, Circle of Dust and Rackets n Drapes.

Some are not that recent. Going back more than 10 years. I wait and see what nobody buys and then look at them. So I usually don't by anything that isn't out for 5 years.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Top 10 albums? I'm only going to include ones since 2000 because I'm still pissed off about that Baby Boomer who only included his generation's albums. (Note, that is NOT a slam against Baby Boomers; just the ONE GUY who wrote that top 50 albums of all-time thread).

Nightwish's Once
HIM's Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights
Cradle of Filth's Midian
Dimmu Borgir's Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
Judas Priest's Angel of Retribution
Blackmore's Night's Beyond the Sunset
Flogging Molly's Drunken Lullabies
HIM's Love Metal
Opeth's Damnation
Opeth's Deliverance

The thing is, I still have a bunch of stuff in my queue that I need to listen to that I may end up liking a lot. Avantasia I'm really liking and Leaves' Eyes had a fantastic album called "Njord." I also like The 69 Eyes a lot (another Finnish band that you probably hate).

I think Flep mentioned Yes in that other thread, but I'm hoping he sees this one. I liked the Yes album, but Pink Floyd to me is more "accessible." Yes is a little bit more "out there." Not at all knocking Yes. It's just personal preference.

It's like I have utmost respect for Rush. I just can't get past Geddy Lee's voice.

Along those lines, I bought Dream Theater's latest album a few weeks ago. Listening to it in the car. It's quite good. It wouldn't replace any of the ones I put in my top ten since 2000, but it's quite good.

My fave Pink Floyd album is still Dark Side of the Moon. Then Wish You Were Here. Then probably Meddle, even though the songs 2-5 aren't that good. "One of These Days" and "Echoes" are two of the most awesome songs ever.

I like The Wall, don't get me wrong. I just think Floyd put out better work.
