You've missed out not seeing the video

The video is wonderful !!!!! Goes well with the song. Greetings from nwAse Sweden

Thanks! Floor be in low in the mix is choice of the band/Tuomas. Floor is meant to be part of choir and one instrument among other. She kind is one among ancestors not one individual. Recommend really check out music video video "phrase " We are dream of many ancestor" quite explain meaning of the song. Male singer is Troy. New bass player is Jukka Koskinen from Wintersun. He not sing in Nightwish(at least last tour 2022-203). He can/was do some harsh vocals in Wintersun.

Nightwish with a live orchestra and choir would be AMAZING! I would definitely pay big bucks to see that in person. Btw your channel is a huge inspiration for me, and I've started making reaction videos too. Great reaction as always, looking forward to S&M Metallica and the next Nightwish one!

Time is a big part of the theme of new album, together with origin and family

The only reason that Ghost Love Score exploded was because Floor took it to another level. As she did every song by Anette. I can only assume that you have never heard Anette attempt to stay in tune when performing live. Such a disappointment. By the way treat yourself to the music video to this as it is astonishing.

Some if not all of the classical instruments you think are patches may well be recorded for real, with an actual orchestra and choir...

Greetings from Finland 🤩

Amazing chorus. love how everything comes together so powerfully. doesn't really feel like an 8 minute song though, with how the beginning and the ending seem kinda skippable.

Hi Patrick, when you get to Megadeth start by listening to their debut album, "Killing Is My Business ... and Business Is Good" Oh I rewatched that St. Anger review video of yours and you said that megadeth, "I am not looking forward to". I am really thrilled to see you and maybe Chris react to it.

A true Nightwish fan. Of course the best albums are Once, Dark Passion Play and the masterpiece Imaginaerum. But finally we are getting a great album that will hopefully join them as one of the best.

The good news is that Jukkis can sing backing vocals, and can do them pretty harsh too. The bad news is he says he won’t be doing any singing with Nightwish. Great bassist though.

New bassist is Jukka Koskinen from Wintersun. He doesn't sing in NW...

Nightwish dont dissapoint "did you feel the ghost energy song" I listened to this song maybe 50 times by now, and it is one i like to listen to with my headphones or without, its really a good song, when i can do so to me. Some say Floors voice is low in the mix, and i can agree its hard to get all words she sing, but if you look at it soundwise it sounds amazing!! and after a listen or 2, you know most of lyrics, and its no problem at all, its done fully on purpose for the sound experince of it.. cant wait for rest of album!! Yesterwynde is the opening track on new album, i belive its only like a intro, its a little over 2 min long, #2 on album then is a almost 10 min song, thats proberly another epic!! #3 is where i think they bring in a heavy track, and this Perfume of the timeless is #5.. so i think its gonna be a good mix of heavy songs, Epics, and maybe a full balled.. Perfume of the timeless, well its almonst a ghost energy song right, telling all these ancestors is perfume around in a timeless world, being around you still, also a message that your existens matters!! i feel tuomas also put in a little message that mankind could do better still, Einstein turn to ape.. The title of the album is a word made by band member Troy Donockley, which Holopainen describes as the feeling of time, history, memory, and being connected to past generation, who have "all had their lives, their ups and downs, and they don't exist anymore, except as atoms scattered all over the universe. And we're going to be in that state pretty soon as well. So that should give you something to think about." Holopainen has described the album as being about humanism, history, and the inspiration thereof, and that outlook of the album is positive and optimistic ] Track listing Yesterwynde: release date 20th September 2024 All tracks are written by Tuomas Holopainen. Yesterwynde track listingNo. Title Length 1. "Yesterwynde" 2:43 2. "An Ocean of Strange Islands" 9:26 3. "The Antikythera Mechanism" 5:55 4. "The Day of..." 4:34 5. "Perfume of the Timeless" 8:11 6. "Sway" 4:23 7. "The Children of 'Ata" 5:37 8. "Something Whispered Follow Me" 6:39 9. "Spider Silk" 6:26 10. "Hiraeth" 6:14 11. "The Weave" 4:53 12. "Lanternlight" 6:06 Total length: 71:07

Ok, very, very intresting reaction. First u named nearly all albums of Nightwish, but my absolute favorit not: Endless Forms Most Beautiful - which included my absolute favorite track: "The greatest show on earth" - its a a fantstic piece of art! The new album hopefully will be a a perfect sequel to this album. But you missed something importent - the video! Its one of the best i ever saw. U cant understand the Intro without video and many other things... the video is really a piece of art! Please check it out!

Patrick, you should start reacting to Dream Theater. I think you would like it for its prog-style and use of keyboard with heavy metal and also Pantera because they are the heaviest and the grooviest band. It would be cool to see you listen to them starting from the Cowboys of Hell album.

Choir patch? I haven't checked the credits for this album, but the vocal formants for the mezzo vs soprano voices seems to be a bit different... this could be done with a patch, but I haven't heard anything like that since I voiced pipe organs back in the early 80's. It seems like you might have Floor connected a little too tightly with Epica (mentioned twice) ... Simone Simons sings with Epica. Floor has recorded 2 live tracks as duets with Simone/Epica. Imaginarium = 2012, iirc.. maybe 2011. This song : I agree about the placement of voices in the mix. Although I could imagine an album concept in which the voices are placed alongside the orchestra level (a little like a traditional opera... voices unaided by amplification vs a 120 piece orchestra.) But I obviously don't know if that's what they are after.. I DO like the rather robust placement of the bass instruments (be they bowed uprights, cellos, or amplified solidbody basses). In the final chorus I'm not sure I heard a guitar playing rhythm. Anyway, this was a refreshing view on the song. You were missing a lot of context by ignoring the visual side. It would be beneficial, imo, to view the video at least once, as it may help explain some of the decisions made in both recording techniques and at the DAW. (I would bet there was a few extra mics picking up the double bass(es) directed at vibrational peaks on the spruce... or perhaps the back (which is sorely overlooked as a mic target. I wish you well, and hope you enjoy the music you choose.

Nice to meet another Nightwish "ALL ERAS" Fan My favorite Album is 2 Albums, i can´t choose. Its Once and Imaginaerium , then the Floor Albums I wrote this while your intro ,before watching your reaction, i am curious what you will think about the song

Text of Nightwish Facebook post on October 16. 2023: "It’s a wrap! 1065 takes of orchestras, choirs and special guests recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Our sincerest thanks go to everybody involved, musicians, singers and technicians alike. Your passion and dedication never ceases to amaze us. Very special thanks to Mr. James Shearman for wonderfully filling the massive shoes of our long-time orchestral arranger, Mr. Pip Williams. Onwards!" So you know more about the orchestral- and choir sounds. Thanks for reacting! Greetings from Westland, The Netherlands

Thanks for the reaction. I've been listening to this pretty much non-stop for a week and i like your take. You mentioned Anette being your fave Nightwish vocalist, and i am wondering if you've had a chance to listen to her new solo album "Rapture"

Marko can now imagine returning again if the Nightwish management is completely renewed. The request sounds reasonable, apart from a return. Dark Side of the Moon was created through a bet between the guitarist of Feuerschwanz and the singer of Ad Infinitum. The singer then smuggled in her husband, who is the drummer for Amaranthe.

Heavier Nightwish album is Oceanborn, and their best song for me will always be The Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean.

For me EFMB is the best album of all time. Good thing we are all entitled to our own opinion

Audio engineer who uses Spotify? Why not lossless audio?

Interesting that Imaginarium is your favourite album and yet Troy has a heavy influence on that album? Seems a little confused.

Mehh no video 😢

Sorry had to cut this off..... So much you miss when talking over the music

Since Tuomas works directly with the Orchestra and choirs (see the docs) he mixes them into the music. Lots of brass and other instruments in this song, but I do not hear strong guitars, although I assume they are there. You have heard All the works of Nature that adorn the world. Lots of Harp in the orchestra mix. Love his use of Harp. Tuomas writes complex singing parts for Floor because she can sing them. Floor can sing harshly, but Tuomas generally does not like that in his music, from what I understand. Sorry you do not like classical music or the new Nightwish.

I'm gonna be the one dickhead to suggest you check out "Wintersun - Time" cause that shit's so good, it can cure any sickness.

I recommend Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold

I'm not going to say I like Anette-sung Nightwish, but I'm with you in liking the pre-pompous albums more. I'm a simple metalhead, too much weird ambience and it's not gonna end up to my rotation. Century Child is still the Nigthwish album I have played back most, with Wishmaster and Once close second and third. I do like some of the newer songs, especially in live setting that's a bit rougher and raw, but it's more fun to look people reacting to them than to actually toss them to my playlist. With this, I guess you are as happy as I am to hear that Tuomas has said the Yesterwynde is going to be heavier than the two previous albums. Wynde It's pronounced with -ai-, not -i-, like winding a clock, not the airflow outdoors.

Aaaaaaaaah

KZfaq, I think it is a Video channel....UGH

Anette was never for Nightwish, she is a pop singer,Floor is the best,she can sing everything

Anette your favorite singer? You must be a lonely guy😀or you did not watch her live performances.

You're the first I'm hearing saying that the fav singer is Anette. It's just a matter of taste. In my opinion your way of commenting on a song is regrettably not my taste.

Elu-vee-eh-tee? .. i don't think i have EVER heard a bandname butchered THIS badly before .. EVER. Also talk about missing the grand picture of a band, more or less demanding they remain static "or i won't listen anymore" .. believe me, they are doing quite good without you so please, stay in your dark little corner and sulk and leave the enjoyment of this great music to those of us that understand. Added note : Annette is the favorite singer of NW? well, that explains it all. You have no love for actual rock or metal singers, and prefer the poppy bubblegum stuff. Go react to Taylor Swift instead.

No no, could not To see To the end, shut up.

Listened to your comment , I feel a little disappointment don’t no wy , verry strange 🥸
