My favourite song is the Entire Lappi songs.
I feel this is a perfect debut album by Nightwish, this band was the one that got me into the symphonic metal and just enjoy the more classical side of music a bit more.
This does have very nice tunes, Elvenpath starts softly as do some of the others, I quite like songs that start slow then build up in tempo.
The start of the Lappi ( Lapland) song caught my attention onto this album when a friend recommended this band to me initially the slow style that carries through the first part really was teriffic in my opinion .
I enjoy the variety in the songs too. None sound repetitive or too much the same. I think this record set the bar and laid a good foundation for the band when they made great followups in Oceanborn, Century Child.
Also like to add Tarjas voice is the best Id ever heard of a female vocalist, really love her singing. Being Finnish myself was glad I can appreciate greatness from my Finnish roots.
