"Brilliant"
5 stars"

My favourite Nightwish album to date! Love almost every song it which is uncommon for most albums for me.

"Nightwish meets After Forever"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

When I first heard Floor was joining Nightwish I was stunned. After hearing this album I have to say it's definitely Nightwish but..... It's almost like they held back a bit. IMO Floor was at her very best on Decipher (my favourite After Forever album). But her voice is not quite up that standard here. Don't get me wrong… It's still good but I think it could have been even better.

Description

Endless Forms Most Beautiful is the upcoming eighth album by Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish. It is also their first album without drummer Jukka Nevalainen, who had to take a temporary break from the band due to suffering of strong insomnia, leading him to step away from both the album and its subsequent tour. All the drum parts of the album were consequently played by Kai Hahto from Wintersun and Swallow the Sun; due to this, this album features only five Nightwish members, despite being their first album released with the band being a sextet.

The album was primarily inspired by the work of naturalist Charles Darwin. According to Nightwish's main songwriter Tuomas Holopainen, the album found its main inspiration from a famous quote from Darwin's 1859 h­ighly influential book On the Origin of Species. This quote included the words “endless forms most beautiful”, used by Darwin to describe the evolution from one common ancestor to all living organisms, that were subsequently chosen as the title of the album.

Second CD is the instrumental version of all songs
