I recently re-listened to Dark Passion Play, which I hadn’t for a long time. And I must say I was very pleasantly surprised with Annette’s voice. Of course nothing and no one beats Floor on those stadium anthems like Poet and the Pendulum. But Annette sounds absolutely exquisite on those more intimate moments. Eva, or Meadows of Heaven, for instance are pure magic. On The Islander, her delicacy contrasts beautifully with Marco’s grit. I think I’m finally starting to understand what Tuomas saw (and heard) in Annette.
Agreed.
I think I have read that Tuomas said that no-one could have sung those songs better than Anette did.
See post above - any ideas…??
Emppu Power…

Difficult to understand why Tuomas doesn’t give Emppu more to do…
He Is Bloody Good.
Crikey, I thought Floor was Amazonian, who’s playing guitar? I’m having sinful thoughts.
Tomorrow I think.
Yup - 8th…
New single, 2nd from the album - The Day Of…
Familiar, yet different & new…? Anthemic - could become a sing along…? Enjoy.
