Funny you should mention Nightwish. One of their albums is among my most recent purchases.

Yes, I've been in the mood for Power Metal, and to be honest it's paid off. I love all off these albums, but "The Metal Opera" is probably my favorite. That could change.

"Oceanborn"- Probably my favorite of the Nightwish albums I've heard. Tarja sounds much better and more operatic here than on "Once," and the songs have a deep, beautiful quality to them I just don't detect in anything from "Century Child" or beyond. My favorite song as of now is probably "Swanheart." []

"Silence"-This one took me a few listens to appreciate, but between this and the other Sonata Arctica album I own, "Reckoning Night," I think I prefer this. Mind you, it doesn't have "White Pearl, Black Oceans," still one of my favorite power metal songs, but that hardly matters. Every single song on this album rocks. As of now, my favorites are Weballergy and The Power of One, the latter of which is a ten-minute epic, so I'll link to Weballergy: []

"The Metal Opera"- This album is something else. All I think I really need to say is that it lives up to its name, and it stands with both "Oceanborn" and "Silence" as one of the best Power Metal albums I have ever heard. It helps that Kiske of Helloween is on most of the vocals, and he does a damn good job. "Serpents in Paradise" is my favorite right now. []

I already knew I was going to get "Oceanborn" and "Silence," but I passed up Flogging Molly's "Float" for "The Metal Opera," and I've been wanting "Float" for a long time. I don't regret my decision.

I specifically like the orchestral version of Nemo. Arguably I haven't listened to their music extensively, but that remains my favorite.

Just listened to Ghost Love Score. It's nice, but I still prefer Nemo. Also listened to Sleeping Sun. Same verdict, I'm afraid. Nemo is a song I listened to in high school, specifically during my GAH SO ANGSTY phase, so there's plenty of sentimental reasoning behind my pick.

I would say that generally I'm not a fan of their music, however. I'm extraordinarily selective when it comes to music and I also just do not listen to much music at all.

Wow, so many Nightwish fans

I think I have all of my games added onto my own account. I'm sure I've probably forgotten one here or there but the way I feel - if I don't remember them, chances are, they wouldn't have much bearing on the score anyway since I would mark them as "null".
