Said nobody, never.

At this point, I think it's pretty safe to call Annette's time in Nightwish as her dress rehearsal. After she was rather unceremoniously booted from the band for numerous reasons, she only grown in leaps and bounds! Her songwriting, her confidence, her vocal strength, and the various artists she's been blessed to collaborate with have only helped to elevate her craft to the amazing level she's reaching now. This is probably my favorite song she's released yet. I can't wait to enjoy the rest of the album.

Every trial and tribulation has prepared you specifically for a time such as this! This is precious fruit!

Her voice is getting better and better just like her style. I am always happy whenever there is any new song with her. She's a very versatile and talented singer. She's a Queen of metal on her own right. Worked for it hard, deserves it well.

If there ever was an artist to make a comeback and stick a justified finger to the critics Anette is that artist! Vocally she's incredible on this song, the song itself is utterly brilliant also! What a triumph! She is EASILY one of the best women in music. She can firmly look at all of her critics, smile at them and say 'you were saying?'. Everyone is different, and styles vary. But once thing is a cert, Anette Olzon is an amazing talent!!!!

She is decent singer, and I like her albums with NW, honestly I think Floor (was) best due to versatility, but I am not sure now because of whole solo things etc.... but the truth is Annete was just bad live. To see Floor live is another lever, Tarja was not moving type :D but she has insane charisma a dramatic voice, but Annete was in some song purely terrible.

I do believe those albums were nightwish best era musically talking, the lyrics, the rhythm, Marco... but I have to say those songs sound really great in Floors voice, at least while that first tour when she joined the band. I didn't dislike Annette's voice tho, being a nightwish fan since the beginning, i absolutely enjoy her era as much as Tarja's, bc i see Nightwish as Tuomas band, not the lead singers. And every single one of his compositions is marvelous. He creates inspired, among other things, based on their voices, that is why is not anticlimactic for me. The band has being great because of him not the girls nor Marco nor Anyone else.

Yippee, new song from Annette. Absolutely amazing song.❤

I don't usually critique songs when I listen to them, but I had to do it on this one because I noticed something very interesting and I noticed the same thing in Heeding the Call. The chorus is too weak compared to the intro/verse and pre-chorus, the songs start absolutely amazing, they both got that jaw dropping factor and give you goosebumps right from the start, but when the chorus comes I feel an emptiness that is a bit disturbing. And upon further listening to these songs I think I figured out why this happens. I believe that Anette's and Magnus's songwriting skills have evolved so much that a chorus becomes obsolete for their songwriting. They put so much energy in the intro and verse and it leaves no room for more energy in the chorus. In 98% of the songs ever written the chorus is the main interest in the song because the verse has a low or average energy, and it leaves room for an explosion in the chorus, but when reaching high levels of songwriting and the verse is so epic then the chorus just becomes an extension of the verse. And this creates a problem because if you keep a traditional structure in a song people will expect an explosion in the chorus compared to the verse and if you can't deliver that it will feel strange. That's why I believe that it's time to give up the chorus and change the foundation of music structure, I've seen this in several songs. The chorus could be actually a release of tension on purpose, not a builder, that way leaving the brain of the listener to relax before another verse thus allowing for more adrenaline to build up. I've seen this in the song The Unkillable Soldier by Sabaton. The chorus has the meaning to release not build tension and that's what makes it even more awesome. In this song I noticed that the last chorus actually sounded awesome compared to the previous two and that's because it came after a more relaxed part, so it could be a surprise in the end instead of the main motif. But over all this song is amazing, it reminds me of Scaretale for some reason, one of my favorite Nightwish songs (and yep that song did not feature a chorus) and I hope this will not be taken as a negative critique, as I said I Iove this song, I just believe in the future these songs have to potential to get better. I myself started to learn how to write music inspired by the awesomeness of symphonic metal so I know how hard it is to make something this awesome and my post was just a suggestion as a listener, it would take me years before I could make something this awesome, but learning how to write music can be as fun and interesting as listening to it.

Rose again, like a phoenix.

i swear this is the best work i've ever heard by Anette, the last 3 songs have all been just next level great, obviously knows her bible VERY well, cant wait for the whole album.
