One Week Later...

I seem to be liking the "one week" motif. The 6th... the 13th... So here I am again, on the 20th!

I don't really have much to report, except that I've been on a Nightwish craze all day. I did nothing but listen to Oceanborn for over three hours this afternoon, and man... it was awesome! I hadn't heard anything off that album (except for Sleeping Sun), and I'm extremely impressed. I think I might like it almost as well as Once, and that's saying a lot! I think tomorrow I'll listen to the entirity of Wishmaster. I've heard a few songs from that album, but I've never listened to it all the way through. So, we'll see what I think of that one.

I'm really getting excited about Dark Passion Play. While I'm not 100% certain that I'll like Anette's voice, I'm still impossibly excited to hear more of Tuomas' brilliant songs. He really is a genius... I can't wait to hear more Nightwish.

I'd have to say some of my favorites from Oceanborn are 'Moondance,' 'Stargazer,' 'Gethsemane,' 'Swanheart,' 'Sleeping Sun,' and 'Nightquest.' They're all totally awesome... I particularly love 'Moondance' because it's just instrumental. It is alternatingly beautiful and driving, and I totally adore it! It's really a song you can bounce to. I highly recommend Oceanborn, and particularly 'Moondance.'

Also, '10th Man Down,' 'Away,' and 'Over the Hills and Far Away' from the Over The Hills and Far Away single are amazingly awesome. '10th Man Down' has got to be a new favorite of mine...

I love Nightwish!!
