I don't understand what separates this band from bands like Evanescence. I understand they're not the same but the riffs are all similar and the melodies aren't all that awe inspiring. Maybe one day I'll figure it out.

That's a valid question. I think that because they are European (Finnish) and the have a non-committal edge to their music are the main reasons that I love them. Their sound is very fantasy / beautiful. It makes me imagine that I was a dragonslayer type of shit that turns me on to them....Evanescence just makes me think of WHEB.

Plus...Europeans are much better looking people than Americans.
Hahahahaha.......Ya dude it's like 95 her eright now and humid as all hell. We're going out to the Yang Tze and headed to the Brickhouse for a beer or 2.
What separates Nightwish from Evanescence is songwriting. Tuomas is fantastic at it. Amy Lee is mediocre at best. Good luck finding any Evanescence that's 1/100 as good as songs like "Creek Mary's Blood", "Dead Boy's Poem", "The Poet and the Pendulum", etc. Anyway, just my opinion. Like whatever you like, and be done with it.
not tarja. thats dumb. i dont like the new singer. i used to like some of the tarja stuff because of how ridiculous her voice was. the new chick has a very powerful voice, i will admit, but its not the same operatic dynamic that tarja had.
i usually can't stand female fronted classic/power metal bands, but i'm a big fan of the singer in this band. someone said it's what tina turner singing metal would sound like. fucking spot on.

Ehh. Those drums could not be any more triggered sounding. Singer has a good voice, but the writing leaves a lot to be desired.
