Within Temptation Mother Earth CD - Import

 Title Track is the Highlight
I thought I was getting something like a Dutch Nightwish, when actually this is a closer relation to The Gathering. Not very metallic, more moody and gothic, with some heavy elements. Sharon Den Adel is a more than capable vocalist, but is incredibly pitchy and screechy at times. When she calms down and sings a pretty ballad - especially “Never-Ending Story” and “In Perfect Harmony,” her voice is quite beautiful and moving. But on the whole, it’s just too lukewarm for my tastes. If you're looking for something nicely textured but not overly heavy, this is your cup o' tea. The title track is awesome, and at the time I am writing this, you can catch the streaming video for it on their website.

 Excellent
Very atmospheric and beautiful metal. Only sinlge complaint is the over-development of some of the songs. But it's a minor complaint. When you're in the right mood for it, this album is perfect.

 great gothic rock
It will be great when this great Dutch gothic rockband will give some shows here in the USA. Somehow this kind of music is still not populair in the States but hopefully that wil change in the near future E.J.Hobma
