Review

When I put on "Once" by Nightwish, I'm immediately transported to a world of grandeur and drama, thanks to the soaring vocals of Tarja Turunen and the symphonic arrangements courtesy of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The album is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions, with tracks like "Dark Chest of Wonders" showcasing the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy metal with orchestral elements. It's like a cinematic experience in music form!

The album's success was undeniable, topping charts everywhere and cementing its place as Nightwish's most successful release at the time. Singles like "Nemo" and "Wish I Had an Angel" just added to the band's growing fanbase, with "Nemo" becoming an iconic song in their discography. "Once" is a true testament to Nightwish's innovative spirit, combining powerful vocals, intricate instrumentals, and epic storytelling that leaves a lasting impression. It's no wonder it remains a fan favorite and a highlight in their legacy. - Sienna
