Fan Thoughts on Nightwish Album
Which Nightwish album do you think is the best? Wishmaster (2000)
What makes this album stand out to you? This and Oceanborn are Nightwish’s best albums. They have a raw energy that other albums don’t have. They’re not as refined or as grandiose as their later albums, but they’re more compelling. The only reason I picked Wishmaster over Oceanborn is because She Is My Sin is on Wishmaster.
Subject: She Is My Sin
What personal memories or experiences are tied to this song/album? She Is My Sin was the first Nightwish song I ever heard. It felt like a slap in the face. I was blown away by how well Tarja’s soprano voice worked on a metal track. When I got home that night, I couldn’t open Napster fast enough to download the song. I was in love!
Would you like to see polls on other metal bands? Indifferent
