4 out of 5 stars A Good Debut, But Their Best Comes Later..........2007-03-02

I am the proud owner of five Nightwish CDs, all of which I love. I must say however that Angels Fall First is my least favorite of the five. Once, Century Child, Wishmaster, and Oceanborn are all better than Angels Fall First, but I guess that is to be expected; often times bands need to improve upon their first album and refine their sound. Well, Nightwish did just that, and the proof is any of their later releases. Angels Fall First is still essential for the true Nightwish fan though. Get the other four first, and if you still desire more Nightwish, by all means, pick up this title. It's pretty good.

3 out of 5 stars A fine debut, but be mindful of your expectations........2007-02-03

With reasonable expectations, a Nightwish fan should thoroughly enjoy a listening of this album. One should expect that on this album, the band does not display the song-crafting prowess that can be heard on later efforts like Century Child and Once. One should also not expect to hear the amazing production quality found on the Once record. Those who complain about these aspects are clearly ignorant about the natural progression of a great band.

A true fan of NW SHOULD own this record, and treasure it as the beginning of the Nightwish journey. To describe the music as a whole, it is mostly very dark and gothic, with tinges of power metal influence. The slower ballad-style songs, such as the title track, are impressive and moving.

The worst song on the record by far is The Carpenter, being drenched with some of the worst male vocals ever recorded (a fact that Tuomas Holopainen, NW composer now admits freely). In spite of these weak moments; however, Angels Fall First is a record worth owning. Fans newer or totally new to Nightwish; however, should start with Once (for symphonic/melodic metal fans) or Wishmaster (for power metal fans). Each of these records is more accessible and gripping than Angels'.

To conclude, if you are building your Nightwish collection, buy this album last, but DO buy it. I do not recommend it as a first exposure to the band. If you're a fan of dark, off-beat, gothic music, make your purchase.

2 out of 5 stars A bad start for an otherwise fantastic band.......2006-11-23

If you want to know what exactly Angels Fall First sounds like, let me offer you the following scenario. Combine Wishmaster and Century Child, strip off the bass and half the keyboards, add in some of Simone Simon's extremely forced vocals from Epica and Tuomas's flat tenor, and throw it all into a car crash. That is what Angels Fall First sounds like. I was very disappointed with this first album, especially considering how incredible their other albums were. The two best songs (meaning four out of five stars) were Elvenpath and Know Why the Nightingale Sings, followed by This Moment Is Eternity and Beauty and the Beast. The rest were frankly hard to listen to. Look to Oceanborn and Once for Nightwish's best performances, because you won't find them here.

5 out of 5 stars Power Metal.......2006-10-29

This is a great cd. Just enough metal and folk to make it a rather perfect cd. Tarja has beautiful vocals, and the mix of keyboard and guitar make it a great listen. BUY IT!

5 out of 5 stars 4.5 actually.......2006-08-27

first off i not a kid ect. This album is excellent, but the only thing I didnt like was the male vocals, but Tarja's voice is beautiful. Anway except for the male vocals, this was an amazing CD.

      5 out of 5 stars Breath-taking album!.......2000-07-17

      This is the first album of Nightwish and this is great album! "Elvenpath" is wonderful song. What a lyrics and sound! "Beauty and the Beast" is quite long song, but that is great. "The Carpenter" is the hit single of this album, but it is quite different from the other songs of Nightwish. "Angels Fall First" is sad song... You have to listen to the lyrics and think about them. "Tutankhamen" has got great music but lyrics are quite... Hollow. "Nymphomaniac Fantasia" is breath-taking song! Wow! The lyrics are very erotical and I really think that the way Tuomas has written about sex so beautifully is something I can't do! Tuomas, you're the best! "Know Why the Nightingale Sings" is probably one of the ebst songs of the album. It's very much like rock music... But the best is coming after that... Lappi (Lapland)! Many songs in one great song. Great! I think that this is wonderful album. Everybody says that "Oceanborn" and "Wishmaster" are better. They are more grown up and you can see that Angels Fall First is the first album but I really can't say what is REALLY the best album of Nightwish because every album of them is great in it's own way. "Oh Lord Why... The angels fall first?"

      5 out of 5 stars Not as good as Oceanborn but still amazing.......2000-06-22

      I understand this is the first Nightwish album, and is not as good as oceeanborn, but it's still a great combination of classical music and rock album, one of the best songs is "Beauty and the Beast". I don't understand why people think S&M by Metallica is something amazing and new, but if they listen to bands like nightwish and some others like therion, they will notice that the orchestration work is a lot better than Kamen - Hettfield - Ulrich effort. Please listen to this album and see what a good fusion work is, it's got energy, melody and Tarja's voice is perfect.
