Imaginaerum album for sale Product Description

Imaginaerum album for sale by Nightwish was released Dec 27, 2011 on the Plastic Head label. Never one to do things by halves, Finnish symphonic rock purveyors Nightwish team up with a 53-piece orchestra for their seventh studio album, Imaginaerum, a concept album based on a dying man's recollection of his youth which also doubles as the soundtrack to their forthcoming Stobe Harju-directed film of the same name. Bassist Marco Hietala's claims that it's inspired by the works of Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman, and Salvador Dali suggest a score chock-full of gothic fantasy-style arrangements, but although the Palladio-esque breakdown on the crunching metal of lead single "Storytime," the Omen-esque choral backing vocals, ominous piano chords, and theatrical sea shanties on the schizophrenic "Scaretale," and the stirring war march instrumental "Arabesque" all bear the hallmarks of a big screen mythical epic, the band have thankfully avoided simply following the Danny Elfman rulebook down to a T. Imaginaerum CD music is a 2-disc set. ...See Full Description

Stylish
Imaginaerum buy CD music In the context of the Headline, "Stylish" does not necessarily mean good, merely that there are multiple and sometimes confusing musical styles. To me, Track 2, "Storytime" sounds like ABBA on steroids, Track 4, "Slow, Love, Slow" is full of smokey bar-room romance, whilst Tracks 8 and 10 are much like Blackmores Knight, with other tracks more reminiscient of Nightwish of old. Production etc is of the usual high standard, as is the CD packaging with a nice inclusion of the instrumental version. Individually, the tracks are of good quality, however as a package this CD is not for first-time Nightwish listeners. I look forward, with a degree of concern, to their next instalment.
