Decades

A great double comp record for newcomers as well as established fans. I understand not all of their greatest could be included because that would take at least another disc. The record is well balanced covering all three lead singers of the band. They could also release a disc of tracks not included on records but were singles like Sagan and others. You really see the development of the band from the early stages to their current awesome sound. So many other bands have followed in their footsteps but there is only one Nightwish.

I've always liked nightwish but kinda lost contact with there songs for a few years. I heard a song via YouTube that I loved and decided to look on Amazon for it. I'm really pleased that I find this album I think I love every song to which is a first. I've usually bought CDs for one or 2 songs which is a waste do I stopped buying them. Fantastic album and love the songs. I'm glad I bought it

Decades is a greatest hits compilation that covers Nightwish's entire history. This means that we get songs sung by Tarja Turunen, Anette Olzon, and Floor Jansen. They all sound amazing and who your favorite is really comes down to just personal preference IMO. Nightwish is the best example of symphonic metal out there and anyone that is wanting to check them out but isn't sure where to begin should start right here. Recommended!

They shipped the ordered item like any competent business should.

Nightwish is probably my favorite band right now. Their mix of metal and classical, and the motifs they use and the true poetry in their lyrics combined with their unique instrumentation on their latest albums has created a synergy unlike anything else in the musical world. All three lead singers they've used have been great in their own ways, and this album has chosen the songs that best exemplify each one's talents and strengths.

This album includes some of my favorite songs from the band, like I wish had an Angel, Nemo, etc... I really miss Tarja... they all great singers, but she is the Queen!

Lots of great tunes from the nightwish band

Great collection of Nightwish music. I purchased this for in my car so I wouldn't have to carry so many disks. If you are just starting to listen to Nightwish this is a great starting point

Als audiophiler Nutzer möchte ich hier mal kurz einen Vergleich zwischen CD und Vinyl anbieten. Da ich seit kurzem auch einen Schallplattenspieler (Sony HX-500 mit Ortofon 2M Red) mein eigen nennen darf, hatte ich mir zuerst das Album als Vinyl gekauft. Das sieht auch alles sehr schick aus, aber es geht ja um den Ton: Die Vinyls stellen mit Sicherheit nicht das beste dar, was ich gehört habe, aber es ist trotzdem eine Verbesserung zu den alten Veröffentlichungen zu hören. Hier hat sich das Remastering schon ausgezahlt. Ist aber noch Luft nach oben, die dann auch ausgefüllt wird von: Der CD! Zum Vergleich habe ich mir noch die CD zugelegt, und die ist wirklich noch einmal deutlich besser, fast schon eine Offenbarung. Vor allem bei den älteren Songs haben die Produzenten hier noch einmal sehr viel rausholen können, schade eigentlich, dass das auf der Vinyl nicht so rüberkommt. Beispielhaft hierfür die hellen Glockenklänge ganz am Anfang von Sleeping Sun oder die breite Bühne die ein Ghost Love Score auf der CD aufbaut. Das Vinyl kommt hier leider nicht heran. Wer also auf guten Ton steht und zwischen CD und Vinyl schwankt, dem würde ich die CD empfehlen, auch wenn die große Vinylbox im Regal besser aussieht ;) Verglichen habe ich übrigens mit dieser Hardware: Plattenspieler: Sony HX-500 (Nadel: Ortofon 2M Red) CD-Player: Denon DCD-1520AE Verstärker: Denon AVR-X4300H Lautsprecher: nubert nuLine284 Kabel: Oehlbach Insgesamt ein schönes Album mit einer sehr guten Zusammenstellung bekannter Songs in zum Teil deutlich verbesserter Qualität!

Nice release by Nightwish. It seems they put out more compilation albums than they do full albums. Oh well. Comparing the tracks on this release to their original versions, it would seem they have remastered some of their older work which is nice, I suppose. Hard to tell when comparing the tracks from EFMB. Whether you are a die-hard fan and collector or a casual listener discovering Nightwish, this album is worth having.

Perfect rollercoaster ride from the first Nightwish demo track that started the Vehicle of Spirit rolling right up to the great masterpiece that is The Greatest Show on Earth. Fantastic selection of golden oldies right up to the most recent album. Perfect to see how the band has evolved and the twists and turns each singer has brought to the sound but still the essence of Tuomas and his magnificent musical talent shines through from the first note to the last. If you are a fan then get this.

大作のThe Greatest Show On Earthから始まるのは賛否両論があると思われるが、Disc2枚を通して統一感が感じられる好盤。 Disc 2のインパクトがやや弱く感じられるのは残念。

Non c'è bisogno di ricordare chi siano i Nightwish e questo album è letteralmente imperdibile. La selezione di brani è perfetta e in qualche modo inusuale rispetto a quanto ci si sarebbe potuto aspettare. Molti dei brani, infatti, sono tra quelli meno portati in tour e generalmente meno "pubblicizzati". Unica stonatura, passatemi il termine, il confronto impietoso tra le due soprano forse più talentuose della scena, Tarja Turunen e Floor Jansen, e l'unica cantante pop presentata nella lineup dei NW, Anette Olzon. Intendiamoci Anette è simpatica, sa stare sul palco e ha saputo emozionare con alcune delle interpretazioni delle canzoni più adatte alla sua voce, ma forse non è mai stata una scelta felice per la band.
