Definitely wonderful, floor's angelic voice at 19 has nothing like it. I've been following since 2002. You're the first person to react to this incredible album that marked a generation of fans. Thank you very much for this, these masterpieces deserve to resonate around the world.

My favourite bands are Epica, After Forever and Ancient bards. Floor is great in Nightwish, but in After Forever she's somethingelse and many fans don't know it.

Awesome song. Floor was 19 and had no formal training yet; the guys were just over 20. When you hear this, and it’s the first song on the first album - you know this band had great potential. You can also hear where Epica comes from.

What a classic this is. Several people on youtube have already covered this song. It's just perfect, Floor is the best singer of all time. what a pure, clean and powerful voice

i really love that you started on after forever's albums now! i look forward to hearing your reactions, just as much as the epica albums

Love this song. It is the first part of Embrace that Smothers series which continues on Epica albums (was writen by Mark Jansen). By the way, her singing on this album is what she was talking about, when she told that she sang mostly high and had to learn how to do it properly. Next album is different.

Nice reaction. I was fortunate to be there when this came out although not quite my first After Forever listen. I was a big nu-metal fan and just when I started to transition to more traditional metal like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas, etc, I heard some song from the album Decipher (the follow up to this) and like you said I was instantly enchanted to say the least. Big fan of Floor and symphonic metal ever since.

That album is the best thing floor has even done… everything about it is top notch. Her vocals, creativity, range, melodys…. Nothing top this album.

Yes, it is "unbelievable" how good was Floor with AF band. This song is just instant floorgasm.

good reaction...nice that you react to this....for sure no mainstream music....but a masterpiece in its own right....for song number four (Black Tomb) there is a demo on YT from 1999...maybe you could give it a listen also because it is great in my opinion...Floor and the rest of this very talented musicians even younger...thx for reacting

The two first albums are incredible.....just as good as anything Nightwish put out .....better !!
