That's the only Dark tranquillity album I have (Damage Done) and I have to say it is good.Onhell said:Now Dark Tranquility.. OMG, GOOD stuff, I've been told for years to get some of their stuff and well, I finally did and am VERY glad. Iwas simply surprised all around. I kinda knew what to expect since they've been compared to In Flames but this, I think, Is better than In Flames, not by much though. Maybe after more listens I'll change my mind but after one spin that's my verdict.
Nightwish never covered PotO, they did a song that coincidentally had the same nameOnhell said:I bought Nightwish's Once long ago (like a year) and hated it, musically and lyrically. But today for some odd reason I saw something about them online and then looked up some videos on youtube and I liked their Phantom of the Opera cover

But today for some odd reason I saw something about them online and then looked up some videos on youtube and I liked their Phantom of the Opera cover so much I decided to give their back catalogue (Once is their latest and lamest) a try. While nothing mindblowing it is much better than Once and I will probably get their earlier stuff, but the lyrics still bother me.... WAY too cheesey, even for me, "chick metal" almost... good lord. Epica is a step up, not much, but up none the less.

I have to say that what swung it for me as far as DT is concerned, was Damage Done (which I love) and I have yet to venture further into other DT releases. If you say their other stuff is less aggressive, should I be disappointed in The Gallery?Silky said:As for DT, yes, they are damn good. Damage Done is probably their most aggressive work, but if you want to look into their back catalogue some more, get The Gallery. I will not say anything about it, but you will not look back, trust me.
