Nightwish's Masterpiece,
By Nathan Jolly "professional slacker" (Chocowinity, North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Century Child (Audio CD)
I own all of Nightwish's albums and singles, and Century Child is the best of the bunch. As you can see from some of the other reviews here, Nightwish isn't for everyone. Angry teenagers looking for a thrash metal band should look elsewhere. Nightwish are as heavy as most metal bands, but they mix in a symphonic sound. I like to say they are loosely a cross between Iron Maiden (for the fantasy themes and similarities between the male vocalist and Maiden's vocalist) and Enya (for the fantasy themes and symphonic sound), but that's not entirely accurate; Nightwish have a sound all their own that cannot be easily compared to anything else.Nightwish's other albums, including Wishmaster, Oceanborn, Angels Fall First, and the new Once, are heavier than Century Child. Century Child is somewhat a concept album, mixing in more symphony, creating a "beautiful" metal sound. "Century Child" is by far the best CD in my collection, and Nightwish is the only metal band I really like. Metallica and Megadeth were cool when I was 14, but got old quickly. I always thought talented musicians could do more with the metal genre than has been done in the past, and I'm glad to find that there is a metal band which makes consistently great music. That band is Nightwish. If you like metal, you may want to skip Century Child for now and pick up their other albums, saving the best for last. Century Child does have heavy songs (in fact, most of them are heavy) but the mixing takes away from that a little, while the others are no-holds-barred heavy. If you just like a beautiful sound and you're looking for something a little more than what most albums in your genre of choice have to offer, Century Child is a great album. You won't regret listening to this album.

Awesome Album - Highly Recommended,
By
This review is from: Century Child (Ri) (Audio CD)
I ordered the CD along with a few others a couple weeks before Christmas and they got here in good time. The CD is great, it has some awesome songs on it - a mix of the faster and the slower but all good. If you like Nightwish or the metal/rock-opera, this is a good one to get but then I could say that about any of their CDs that I have heard!

destination downhill,
By SK "seven keys" (Waldwick, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Century Child (Audio CD)
'Oceanboarn' was phenomenal, 'Wishmaster' was great and 'Century Child' is just OK. Nothing exceptional goes on here and you know how great the vocals are by now. The standout song is 'Everdream' and some other songs are better than others. The introduction of some male singer only shows how not to sing as he wrecks all the songs he appears on. Why in the world would a band do that to their album?The lack of memorable songs with charming melodies that could be heard on two previously aforementioned albums prompts me rank it as a 2-star album.
