A must have for Nightwish fans
I love Nightwish. I have been a fan since I first bought "Wishmaster", my first album by the Finnish metal band. I was completely blown away by the combination of Tarja's operatic voice with power metal. I was addicted right away. That was three years ago, almost four I think. I finally got the opportunity to see the band perform live in late August. One of the highlights for me was their cover of Gary Moore's "Over the Hills and Far Away". The song was very catchy yet aggressive. Tarja sounded absolutely amazing during the song. Unfortunately the album with that song is only available as an import. After doing some comparison shopping, I finally bought the cd "Over the Hills and Far Away". Now I can listen to the song as often as I want to. The other previously unreleased songs "10th Man Down" and "Away" were awesome. Like any of the band's ballads, "Away" simply took my breathe away. The production on these previously unreleased tracks is very in your face and has a big sound. I also enjoyed listening to the live tracks. It brought back memories of when I saw my favorite metal band in concert. I really dug the 2001 remake of "Astral Romance" from the band's first album. I thought this remake was vastly superior. I dug the heavy version of "Sleepwalker" too. I swear Nightwish is getting better and better with every album they put out. I can hear the sheer heaviness that I hear on their new album "Once" on "Over the Hills and Far Away". For diehard Nightwish fans, this is an album worth owning.

A must have for Nightwish fans
Nightwish is my favorite hard rock band. My dream came true when I saw them perform live last month. One of my highlights from the show is the Gary Moore cover song "Over the Hills and Far Away". Tarja and the boys did an amazing job. It is both aggressive and melodic. I finally broke down and ordered a cheap import copy of "Over the Hills and Far Away". I recently got the cd yesterday and I was not disappointed in the cd. Most of the cd consists of live tracks but they were awesome. The live tracks were a wonderful reminder how good Nightwish is as a live band. Of course the title track is beyond wonderful. Tarja sounds amazing on this particular song. "10th Man Down" and "Away" are nothing short of amazing. I adore the 2001 remake of "Astral Romance" which sounds ten times better than the original version. I strongly recommend for diehard Nightwish fans to buy this cd solely for the first four tracks.
