Nightwish for me are a band who always deliver quality albums, this offering is no different.
Despite the change of lead female vocal the album still has the very definite nightwish sound. "Dark Passion Play" has all the symphonic sounds of previous albums and still delivers those crunching guitars you come to expect.
Now the big question is Annettes voice comparable to Tarja's. My answer no. But not necessarily a bad thing. I think Annette has a great voice and it is similar to Tarja's but not quite as strong or as operatic.
I saw the video from the first single off this album "Amaranth" and I must say she looked a little more like a pop singer than a metal singer though still undeniably a Nightwish song.
As for the album itself I think it carries on where "Once" left off. The male vocal is also used alot on this album.
