Coiril
Personally this is one of my 3 favorite albums of them, it marked their new era with a new signer Anette. The orchestra score is amazing, and better than the previous album of Once and Imaginaerum. While this album got a lot of controversy, this is indeed a masterpiece.The collectors version is a must have for all die-hard Nightwish fans, if you dont like Annette, then listen to the Instrumental CD version of the album, its still Nightwish.

The cover is not reliable I guess. I think it is a black vinyl version but images are taken from Dark Blue vinyl version. I have the black version and couldn't find it on discogs so I thinks this is a black version has Dark Blue version in on other page. I really like this album especially the song "Amaranth" and "Master passion play". Ilm listening whole album very often!
