Finland's Nightwish steps to the head of the atmospheric-metal class with their third album. The regal quintet blends the brooding qualities of goth and propulsion metal with the gorgeous operatic singing of Tarja Turunen. Thanks to musical prowess and the skilled hand of composer-keyboardist Tuomas Holpainen, what could be a ponderous and pretentious affair is a vibrant metal romp. Nightwish walks that fine line between heavy-rock bravado and classical pageantry without tipping too much in either direction; the balance of aggressive guitars and flowing keyboards is just right, and the multitracked female vocals and guitar harmonies are glorious. While some may find the lyrics a bit flowery, Wishmaster bumps atmospheric metal up a notch in the right direction. --Bryan Reesman

Album Description

Third release from Finland's finest opera-style metal band. This album reached #1 on the Finnish charts in May 2000 when it was released in Europe and then gold. The female vocalist Tarja sings in a powerful operatic style, backed by other vocals and jetting from fast to dreamy ballads. Fresh and original for the metal realm.

Customer Reviews:

Just pretty damn stunned.......2007-07-04

I have to start out by saying that I am pretty damn stunned by the some of the IMMATURE low ratings this cd got. First off, it's amazing how once can say they are an opera expert and say Tarja's voice is mediocre. I have plenty of family members who grew up listening to opera and I cannot name one that EVER said her voice to be bad or mediocre. Second, I was stunned when I read the one review of this kid saying Nirvana and Disturbed are better than Nightwish. What the hell? They aren't even technically in the same genre. So that being said below are my actual thoughts.

She Is My Sin- 10/10 One of my favorite songs on here. It is really catchy and can get stuck in your head for days.

The Kinslayer- 9/10 This is a really good song, but not something that you will remember being the most memorable.

Come Cover Me- 8/10 It is a nice songs, but once again nothing too memorable.

Wanderlust- 9/10 This one is a more fast paced song which I really like about it.

Two for tragedy- 9/10 This song is slow and beautiful.

Wishmaster- 10/10 One of the best songs on here. Faster paced and you will definitely remember it.

Bare Grace Misery- 8/10 This song was okay, not my favorite because I actually don't like the chorus part.

Crownless- 8/10 Another okay song/

Deep Silent Complete- 10/10 This is one of the best tracks in my opinion. It is absolutely one of the most beautiful pieces on here. It is one of their slower songs, but still done in a way it doesn't put you to sleep.

Dead Boy's POem- 10/10 This actually sounds long when you listen to it, but it isn't. The chorus is memorable and the whole song is just really pretty.

Fantasmic- 9/10 Okay song, but doesn't stand out very much.

So there are my thoughts. I'm rating the songs as I feel they are. I don't really want to rant on and on about how great they are, because well they are and that's why it got a 5 from me. I am pretty darn picky when it comes to buying cds.

Better than 'Once'.......2006-12-07

I heard Nightwish's "Once" before I heard "Wishmaster," and even though "Once" is supposedly their breakthrough album, I enjoyed this one more.
Some things worth noting: It lacks such epic songs as "Nemo" and "Higher than Hope," at times the songs seem more (dare I say) playful, and the singer sounds even more operatic than on "Once," if that is possible.
The standout tracks would have to be "Crownless" and "Wishmaster."
"She is My Sin" and "Come Cover Me" are also exceptional. But to be honest, they're all good songs, except for "Two for Tragedy."
Great album by a great group of musicians.

Ten Thumbs WAY UP!!!!!.......2006-11-10

This has to be one of the greatest bands ever.... I am never disappointed with any of their work... They are trully incredible and talented!!!!! Wishmaster is worth every cent!!!!

More Great Nightwish!.......2006-09-06

My intro to nightwish was the Once album. I was blown away and wanted to hear more from them so I bought Oceanborn and Wishmaster. From what I heard and read these 3 albums are their best. I am not disappointed in the least. All 3 of these albums are definitely worth buying if you like the operatic metal style. Tarja Turunen's voice soars. Thank you Nightwish, for making some kick a** beautiful music!

Another great Nightwish CD.......2006-09-04

Nightwish is a band I can never get enough of! I love all their CDs but the earlier years being the best - I would consider this one the last of their "early" years and this album is great. Wishmaster has all the fantasy and epic stylings shown in Oceanborn although it sounds a bit more toward traditional heavy metal but it's still Nightwish!! Get this and Oceanborn as well!!

Nightwish is unique and rocks for eva.......2005-04-09

Moi to you all,
Nightwish est vraiment le plus cool des bands. Unqiue pis des tounes supers orginales, ca ma faite découvrir le métal pis aucune autre band ma faite vribrer comme eux. À tous le monde cest un must buy.

Truly excellent.......2003-10-28

This is a really great Nightwish album. Should be in any fans collection, simple as that.

Why just 4 stars?.......2001-10-13

Un album tout simplement renversant, extraordinaire, sensationnelle. Il est excellent sur toute la ligne avec une voix si bien cadré, si bien mis en evidence devenant la suite de se qu'ils avaient commencer avec Oceanborn, il revienne a la charge avec une disque presque aussi parfait. Un album tout comme le deuxieme, remplis de rebondissement, remplis de moment intense et de moment plus romantique avec Dead Boy's Poem qui est sans aucun doute la meilleur toute qu'ils ont faites. Souvent comparer a Dream Theater pour leur beat de piano, d'instrument progressif, ils ont sus selon moi allez une coche au dessus et nous offrir quelque chose d'encore superieur au membre de Dream Theater... En bref, il s'agit d'un CD dispendieux, mais combien il en vaut la peine, il est merveilleux et chaqu'un se doit de connaitre se magnifique groupe Allemand.

Amazing!.......2001-02-22

One of the best records i ever heard! the combination of Terja's voice and the Rock music is great!!

FANTASMIC!!!!!!.......2001-01-10

This cd is without a doubt the best cd I've ever bought onAmazon.com. It's such a shame that someone could make such empty anduneducated attacks at this music. Nightwish is amazing because it'sdifferent, it's experimental, it's gothic, it's heavy, it's loud,epic, hauntingly ethereal, atmospheric, and beautiful. If you don'tbeleive me, listen to some samples online!!! Don't rule out Nightwishbecause of one bad reveiw. This cd and this band have a lot to offer!The best songs on the disc are : Dead Boy's Poem, Come Cover Me,Fantasmic, Kinslayer. But trust me, all the songs are great! GO checkthis cd out for yourself!

Total Haunted House Material!.......2005-01-14

I run a Haunted House every Halloween season and this compilation will go very nicely for the queue line. Not a bad song in the bunch. There's stuff to keep people on their toes, weirded out and just plain pumped up to enter the haunt. A definite mood setter!
