This song started with a very butch guitar riff. It doesn’t matter that Emppu’s sound is pretty much always the same and the riffs are similar but I do love how it sounds. On the early parts of this song I thought it could very well be a good candidate for their second single release but a middle part totally changed it. It had this middle age feeling…hard to describe. Well I am describing mostly my feelings on the songs cause now when I write it, I barely anymore remember how the songs went. Again to me that’s a good thing. Anette’s sound is a bit thin on this song for some reason.

Хейкки Ковалайнен: «Отпраздновал бы чемпионский титул в лесу»
http://www.sports.ru/automoto/129661594.html

Пилот «Лотуса» Хейкки Ковалайнен, в интервью официальному сайту «Формулы-1» рассказал о том, что хотел бы увидеть Гран-при на улицах Хельсинки, признался, что образцовой трассой считает «Сузуку», а также сообщил о том, что с удовольствием бы сел за руль болида «Ред Булл» RB7.

– Если бы у вас была возможность выбрать место для проведения новой городской гонки, какой город вы бы выбрали, и почему?

– Определенно выбрал бы Хельсинки, и это никак не связано с тем фактом, что я сам из Финляндии. Просто Хельсинки – великолепный, современный город. Уверен, что сама гонка и последующие за ней вечеринки получились бы лучшими в мире. В качестве музыки на вечеринках выбрал бы Nightwish, хотя это и не совсем танцевальная музыка. А еще Гран-при проходил бы зимой, на зимней резине.

Автор ревью отмечает, что это не рецензия на альбом, а скорее записанные во время прослушивания эмоции.

TAIKATALVI

Started with this wind-up toy playing a lullaby. Marco sang the intro in finnish which was cool to hear. It was like a dreamworld entrance with flutes, choirs and symphony orchestras. A perfect intro.

STORYTIME

Nightwish released this song as the first single from Imaginaerum. A nice mid-tempo song that actually reminded me of one other Nightwish song, just couldn’t figure out which one. Very strong guitar riffs. Contained a very strong symphonical part in the middle. Maybe the song itself was stretched a bit too much from the end but definately understandable why Storytime was chosen as the single song.

GHOST RIVER

Another mid-tempo song. Marco’s singing in the beginning was like touch of madness and rage. After that it was more like a dialogue type of singing with Marco and Anette. Very strong symphonical part in the middle with a child choir. That sounded awesome.

SLOW, LOVE, SLOW

This was a treat…unlike nothing I’ve heard from Nightwish before. Started with a piano and while I was waiting the song to kick in…well…it didn’t :D Instead it changed totally. The best way I can describe this song is like, going to one of those bars in the 60′s, full of smoke and a on stage there is a woman in spotlight singing. When you hear this song you’ll understand what I mean. I actually spoke to Jukka about this particular song and he said that was one of the things they tried to capture on the song…well they did it :) And then there was this clean guitar part, like a solo but it was so funny. Couple of journalists started laughing and even Emppu himself was laughing. This awesome song ended with a long tic tac tic tac sound. I must say, not a song I would expect to hear from Nightwish but I love the fact that they are experimenting.

I WANT MY TEARS BACK

This song started with a very butch guitar riff. It doesn’t matter that Emppu’s sound is pretty much always the same and the riffs are similar but I do love how it sounds. On the early parts of this song I thought it could very well be a good candidate for their second single release but a middle part totally changed it. It had this middle age feeling…hard to describe. Well I am describing mostly my feelings on the songs cause now when I write it, I barely anymore remember how the songs went. Again to me that’s a good thing. Anette’s sound is a bit thin on this song for some reason.

SCARETALE

Starts with a very nightmare-like pressuring atmospere, well it’s called Scaretale :) Loved how the double bassdrums started after the beginning and it gave a very groovy feeling for the song. At some point of this song Anette’s voice changed to slightly aggressive which in my books is never a bad thing! Middle part of this song contained a speech which believe me or not, changed into something that remotely resembled Finntroll on their early years ´:) This song was a combination of many different parts.

ARABESQUE

Instrumental song. Didn’t really get inside this one at all.

TURN LOOSE THE MERMAIDS

Starts acoustically with Anette singing and pan-flutes on the background. This song overall had a very beautiful and balanced atmosphere and while I closed my eyes, I almost fell asleep…some might think it’s a sign of boredom but to me it’s a sign of relaxation. And it’s not easy to achieve in a room full of journalists lol. Loved this song.

REST CALM

This one started with a nice guitar shredding. Marco started singing and Anette joined. Middle part changed almost entirely to acoustic while Anette was singing with a child choir.

THE CROW, THE OWL AND THE DOVE

Started acoustically and the song had a very tranquil feeling overall. There was a someone in the middle part who I think was a special quest cause it didn’t sound like Marco.

LAST RIDE OF THE DAY

Now this is Nightwish! From the very beginning to very end. Lots of choirs, strong riffs, melodic chorus, double bassdrums. Definately single material.

SONG OF MYSELF
Song 1: From A Dusty Bookshelf
Song 2: All That Great Heart Lying Still
Song 3: Piano Black
Song 4: Love

This is epic…EPIC. But also a song you need to listen over and over again and I am sure you’ll discover something new each time you hear it. It’s just a combination of so many things…overwhelming really. At times so melodic and then turns into a total end of the world atmosphere. Only Maestro is capable of doing such compositions. As I said already…you need to hear this song many times to get inside it.

IMAGINAERUM

Outro, symphonic, wow…it was funny cause when the song ended…the room was totally quiet…you couldn’t even hear a single breath…until Marco broke the silence by saying “Yes that was it”
Jukka after the listening session


People walk out the room in silence…surreal feeling. I don’t think the silence was cause of disappointment, I think it was more like “What did just happen?”. At least that’s how it felt to me. Over 70 minutes and it went by very fast. Now I am not saying this is the best Nightwish album, again one cannot even make such assumption based on one listening time. You can do that with many bands but not with Nightwish. There is simply too much content in those 70 minutes to state an opinion…only to describe feelings.

As you all may or may not know, they will also make a movie out of Imaginaerum which will be written and directed by Stobe Harju based on a story by Tuomas Holopainen. This was something that I actually kept in mind while listening. So what I did during each song was to close my eyes and just let my imagination fly. I couldn’t believe I actually started seeing images coming out of nowhere. It felt surreal…just listening to the song and the lyrics they transformed into images. Now let’s see how the fans like it when the album is released. I loved it.

Swanheart69 (Nightwish_fans) все записи автора Звучит очень радостно =)

Yesterday I had the chance to walk into the studio for the first time and see the set-up, props and dresses, and meet the actors. I was blown away by everything I saw, from the dedication of the people working there to the otherworldly atmosphere of the different stages. I had my make-up tests and dress fittings done, and truly enjoyed seeing myself as a gray and wrinkled 50-year-old. Ha!
4 years in the making, and finally Imaginaerum is coming alive in a most beautiful way. I can't help feeling completely awestruck and grateful for the chance of doing something that was nothing but an insane (but sincere) idea a few years ago.

- релиз альбома - в Финляндии - 30 НОЯБРЯ, по Европе - 2 ДЕКАБРЯ
- показан кусочек обложки альбома. Зайдите по ссылки и нажмите на изображение, оно довольно большое и детеально!
Туомас об обложке:
"Originally, this was supposed to be the centerfold image of the album but once I and some mates saw the final image, we immediately knew that the hunt for the actual cover artwork was over. I believe this is Toxic Angel's finest piece of work yet, capturing the deepest essence of what Imaginaerum is all about. The power of imagination and places of wordless wonders, magic and awe, of longing and the surreal.
I emphasized from the start that not a single living thing should be seen in the picture, and Toxic was able to create that sublime but desolate, "all this waiting for you, and you only" - feeling.
All you need is the courage to enter."
- Tuomas

- И самое интересное - короткие тизеры к каждой песне
"Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it."

- Henry David Thoreau


1. TAIKATALVI
This world is but a canvas for our imagination.


2. STORYTIME
How would it feel to take a midnight flight with a snowman through the most wondrous landscapes, like in the classic animated Yuletide film? The meaning of our very existence is created though stories, tales and imagination. They are at the very core of humanity.


3. GHOST RIVER
LIFE is the ultimate privilege; a river filled with wonders and horrors. Love, sorrow, beauty, evil and temptation. And we need them all to survive and enjoy the journey.

Good, Evil, Pain and Pleasure - members one of another.


4. SLOW, LOVE, SLOW
Truest love needs no words, demands or promises. It is wordless territory, and thoroughly unconditional.


5. I WANT MY TEARS BACK
Longing for things long gone, but still possible to bring back.


6. SCARETALE
Monsters in the closet, squealing pigs, hordes of spiders and flesh-ripping harpies. A peak into childhood´s unforgettable nightmares- a vivid and twisted circus sideshow.


7. ARABESQUE
A catharsis to a nightmare. Giving birth through a death-dance.


8. TURN LOOSE THE MERMAIDS
We quietly witness as her dying loved one takes his last journey...forever now, a haunting moment of beauty and comfort.


9. REST CALM
Memories and hope are two things no-one can ever take away from you. The sweetness of my own past is a bottomless chest of comfort and inspiration.


10. THE CROW, THE OWL AND THE DOVE
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me Truth"
- Henry David Thoreau

Love is everything, and only Truth is our guide to a deeper state.


11. LAST RIDE OF THE DAY
The theme park is just about to close, but the rollercoaster runs one more time and you get to take the last ride by yourself. It`s dark and the fireworks have just started. Moments such as these are portals to infinite dreams, of deep realisation, and ultimately the thrilling awareness of being a speck of dust in this vast swirling cosmos.


12. SONG OF MYSELF
Our homage and version of Walt Whitman`s transcendental celebration of life and existence, delving deep into a personal catharsis.


13. IMAGINAERUM
Thank you for sharing the ride and we hope to welcome you back soon. The stage is lit, and the Magnificent Play is beginning...

Swanheart69 (Nightwish_fans) все записи автора Я думаю, все мы помним, как прошлый альбом сначала был представлен для ознакомления прессе. Тогда мы получили очень интересные и воодушевляющие отчеты относительно нового альбома. Это делало ожидание еще более тяжким, но все же приятным ;)

И в этот раз не обойдется без этого.
Анетт в своем блоге сегодня упомянула, что она и Туомас в эти выходные представят для ознакомления журналистам новый альбом.
Ждем впечатлений, отчетов... хоть чего-нибудь, чтобы облегчить это ожидание :)

Пока Найты обрадуют нас очередной порцией карамельки из своего кармана, предлагаю вам обсудить/высказаться по поводу нового дизайна сайта сообщества! Очень старался, надеюсь вам понравится...)

Swanheart69 (Nightwish_fans) все записи автора Прочитала на форуме официального сайта интересное предположение.
В интернет-магазине Найтов, помимо предзаказа нового сингла, появились новые футболки. Одна из них, конечно же, с Storytime, но вот на других написаны другие слова - 'Dancer', 'Good Journey', 'Caress the Tales'.
У многих сразу возник вопрос - а это тоже название песен? Особенно нравится название Dancer xD

смотрится, конечно, не многообещающе, но...

DISK 1:
1. Storytime (Radio edit) - говорят, дольше альбомной версии.
2. Storytime (Album version)
3. Storytime (Instrumental version)

другое дело, что это только Диск 1. Возникает вопрос - а что, будет Диск 2? :D

Swanheart69 (Nightwish_fans) все записи автора только сейчас заметила, что, кажется, у нас про эту песню не было темы.
Написал ее Туомас. Очень красивая и нежная песня.
перевод с финского: Niko (форум официального сайта)

The Seer of Hundreds of Seas

A newborn poetess
on a fantasy ship
on the waves of the underworld
What is this silence
which vanishes to the blue?
It’s a peace of the homeless
only for the time of a falling star
Beautiful, calm

I’ll choose one sea
and a strange boat,
which will row me away
The island is waiting
for the widow of life,
the seer of hundreds of seas

I get drunk from the magic potion of sea
and become its child
Only miracles,
loneliness, believing faces,
theme parks of first dreams,
sides of spruces, magic winters
For the time of a beautiful song
pain drowns

I’ll choose one...

The bondless chokes
to the bowl of beauty,
to the frozen world,
to the absence of love
I walked under the waves
and was able to drown for good
my songs sung by the others

I chose one sea
and a strange boat,
which rowed me away
The island loves the widow of life,
the seer of hundreds of seas
