I actually liked the album on the first listen and it is still growing on me. 'Storytime' sounds a little like metal ABBA to my friends, me too; I still like it. I own many of Nightwish's efforts and I love Tarja and that period of Nightwish. I was not that fond of 'Dark Passion Play' as a whole, I agree that it is possible that the band was not sure what path they were going to go. I also thought that Anette had a tough time with some of the songs on 'Dark Passion Play' of course she nailed the more radio friendly stuff. Anette probably had the pressure of replacing Tarja which must have been a major stress factor for her and as I understand it, she also had some personal stuff going on. So since I am NOT the authoritative figure on music, I waited to see what was coming next. I can say that I really enjoy listening to Anette on ‘Imaginarium’; amazing job young lady! On another positive note, when I first watched anything I could on Youtube, I really disliked Anette inserting her pop style into the older songs. I have continued to watch and have seen a large difference recently and I will say that Anette's renditions of 'Ghost Love Score', both original and acoustic versions of 'Nemo' and a few others are absolutely wonderful. Nice job to the band and great job to Anette. I can mix both old and new Nightwish in a single listening session and thoroughly enjoy it. There is much I would like to say on this but I will end it here. P.S. I love how clean the posts are! I have listened to the ‘Imaginarium’ CD first to last 3 times now.
