		Co-produced by the band and Tero Kinnunen, the album’s tour de force, ‘The Kinslayer’ with Ike Vil of BABYLON WHORES on guest vocals, took the band into controversial territory with its theme based on the April 20th 1999 Columbine school massacre.
		The album was preceded in their homeland by a record breaking no. 1 single 'Ever Dream' which occupied the top position for a five week run, gaining another Platinum award.
		A third single lifted from the album for Finnish release on 24th November, 'Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan', included a B side live version of MEGADETH's 'Symphony Of Destruction', recorded live at the Nosturi in Helsinki in October.

		Wishmaster is the band's third outing, and unlike a lot of power metal bands, Nightwish doesn't stay exactly the same from album to album.
		Wishmaster is a great release from Nightwish and it should be the place for new fans to start.
		I think "Wishmaster" will appeal most to people who value melody, harmony, and balance in their music as opposed to those who favor heaviness or sheer guitar drive or are finicky about their metal.

		The new album, Wishmaster, was released in May and the Wishmaster Tour started from Kitee, the home town of the band.
		Wishmaster went straight to number 1 on the Finnish album charts and stayed on the pole position for three weeks.
		Wishmaster was approved by both the fans and the media and it was named the album of the month by the German magazine Rock Hard in their issue 6/2000, past the long-awaited new releases by Bon Jovi and Iron Maiden.

		My opinion is that their third studio album Wishmaster is their best.
		To the song "Wishmaster" the band has borrowed some names from fantasy-books "The Lord of the Rings" (I read from the homepage, that it's their favorite book...) and the Dragonlance -saga.
		Wishmaster is the last full-lenght studio-album of the "old" Nightwish.

		The album also featured Tapio Wilska (ex-Finntroll) on two songs ("Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" and "The Pharaoh Sails to Orion"), meaning much to Nightwish as this was their first guest vocalist.
		The main difference from previous albums is the use of a live orchestra from Finland on "Bless the Child", "Ever Dream", "Feel For You" and "The Beauty of the Beast", to get a more present feeling of classical music.
		A new album entitled Once was released on June 7, 2004, along with their first single, "Nemo" (Latin for "nobody"), from that album.

		The album Wishmaster is the follow-up to Oceanborn, which was released 2 years ago.
		On Wishmaster Tuomas handles some rather difficult issues and because of it Nightwish has lost a bit of the trademark "power metal sound".
		It's a shame that there are no male vocals on this album to bring variety to the music and this is the only weak point in this almost perfect album.

	Nightwish - Wishmaster - review @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The third full studio album from the Finnish band Nightwish was to no surprise another masterpiece and one of the top metal releases of the year.
		The best songs on this album (The Kinslayer, Wishmaster, FantasMic and a couple more) are even better than the ones on Oceanborn but unfortunately there are a little bit too many slow ballads on Wishmaster, an area not really suited for the Nightwish sound.
		Wishmaster was produced by the band and Tero Kinnunen.

	Artistopia Music - Wishmaster CD
		Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley must be rolling in their graves as this album is being played all over the world.
		"Wishmaster"'s lyrics usually cover dark and sometimes terrible ground but do so without being depressing and hopeless, veering well away from the excessively nihilistic or satanic.
		She is my Sin- 4.5/5: An intriguing song to say the least, the beat was fast paced and the lyrics left you with the chills; but it was good.

		In Finland it became a mini (only the first four songs) and in the rest of the world, they made a complete CD of it.
		The other tracks on the album are live tracks, which are probably on the worldwide version, because the 'From Wishes To Eternity'-CD (from the video) is available only in Finland.
		The new tracks on the CD turned out a slight disappointment, so the rating is counted like this; 6.5 for the new tracks and 9 for the great live tracks, which the Finnish people won't have.

	Nightwish - Wishmaster \| sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This album was perhaps the one where Nightwish's powerful, driving "opera-metal" style of power metal became solidified in a very coherent sound, not to mention a sound that holds up with little variation in quality throughout the album.
		This is one area in which the album differs from "Oceanborn:" there aren't as many incredible breakdowns on this one.
		This album is going to be a 4 because the quality of the melodies on this album are stellar everywhere, and the playing and musical skills of the whole band is at a high.

	Nightwish - Wishmaster
		Of course, the ballads - which very often are the singles of the albums - also do their pile of work, but these tunes are so obscurely addictive, so deliberately mind-controlling that it’s impossible even for the most A4, nine to five-working Jones or Smith not to stamp his feet.
		On the average Italian Power-Metal album this would have been a highlight, but on an effort by Nightwish, it becomes one of the more mediocre tracks on the album.
		Of course, for a fan of Opeth (whose albums seldom consists of more than one of two songs clocking in a under ten minutes) 8,17 minutes is nothing special, but for a mainstream pop-band like Nightwish (see above) this is quite special.

		Their third studio release, Wishmaster, is my personal favorite album (as a whole, but I enjoy some songs from Oceanborn more in general) from the symphonic metal giants.
		The album comes in nicely with the heavy She Is My Sin, one of my personal favorites on the album, combining electronics nicely with heavy riffs from Emppu and wonderful drumming from Jukka.
		Two For Tragedy is the signature ballad on the album (one per album), and it's my personal favorite (of their works thus far; followed closely by Swanheart and Angels Fall First).

	Wishmaster by Nightwish (lyrics & reviews)
		The album starts strong, with the powerful track, "The Kinslayer," which is heavier than many other tracks on the CD, but at one point, almost seems to contain a classic struggle between good and evil.
		It takes all of about 10 seconds of the opener ("She Is My Sin") before Tarja's powerful style wins you over and makes you a believer that true opera vocals CAN and DO work over super-melodic hard metal.
		This album reached #1 on the Finnish charts in May 2000 when it was released in Europe and then gold.

		And though an EP and live album were released to hold fans over, Nightwish's next full-length album was one of the most anticipated releases of 2002.
		"Forever Yours" is the lone ballad on the album, but an amazing one it is. To put it simply, it is songs like this that remind me why I worship Tarja as a Goddess; her voice literally BLEEDS emotion as she wails out a melody that any other band can barely dream of.
		And at last, the album comes to a close with what is, quite possibly, my all time FAVORITE song: the epic "Beauty of the Beast".

	Nightwish - Once Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This album was actually what got me into the band (ironically, being that it hasn't been released here yet), and I had a retro-active progression from there.
		If I had to pick a least favorite song on the album, I suppose this would be the one, but that's more of a statement of how incredible the rest of the album is than anything that's particularly wrong with this track.
		Once was what got me into the band, and I subsequently took a rapid crash course through the rest of their catalogue, and it still is special for me because it was what got me into the band and what I recognized the most from when I saw them.

	Nightwish Italy - Recensione Wishmaster - Official Italian Fansite
		In Wishmaster la singer Tarja Turunen puÃ² esprimere al massimo tutte le proprie potenzialitÃ di cantante lirica, mentre a livello tematico questo lavoro non si discosta dal precedente Oceanborn, del quale Ã¨ considerato il sequel.
		Wishmaster riporta una nota di energia proprio a metÃ dellâalbum: lâincisivo impianto speed/power accompagna lâascoltatore in un mondo di fantasia e arcano folclore.
		Sleepwalker, presente solo nella versione giapponese di Wishmaster, chiude lâalbum: siamo alla fine del sogno, in quel momento tra il sonno e la veglia, in cui vorremmo perderci ancora per unâultima volta, prima di riaprire gli occhi su ciÃ² che ci circonda.

		This is the first Nightwish album that i've listened to, and it deserves all the 5 star ratings that it has gotten.
		It's one of those albums where it seems simple at first, but after listening to it you start to notice lots of little details, and you're forced to keep coming back to hear them again.

		We can regret that the major part of these titles come from the first and already reissued album (« execution ») and from the last album of the band whose distribution had been more than consequent.
		After a «Fragments» album that shown a new identity and a new evolution, they’ re returned with a double live album.
		But it’s piece of evidence to say that this new album is a real good surprise and nobody could have expected such a good one.

	NIGHTWISH discography, MP3 and reviews
		The band have also toured heavily in recent years, with their up-and-coming tour behind the new album rumoured to be a world-wide 18 month affair that'll doubtlessly break the band in countless other markets and cement NIGHTWISH's reputation as world leaders in operatic metal.
		The overseas reactions and a growing cult-like interest in the United States encouraged Century Media to sort out a licensing agreement securing their next studio output for domestic release, as well as the two back catalogue pieces so they could be appreciated by a wider audience.
		In 2000 the band released their third effort, “Wishmaster”, immediately going platinum at home and selling well over 20,000 units in the U.S. with very little support or notoriety from the industry and promotional outlets.

	Metal-Rules.com: Interview with Nightwish - Tuomas Holopainen
		A producer must have ability and skills to listen to bands how they want their albums to sound like, and of course he must know all the equipment in a studio environment 100% and how to use them properly to get the very best out of them for a recording.
		Because of an undeniable fact your previous album could be considered as some sort of a cornerstone of Nightwish´s career as it´s the highest selling Nightwish album thus far.
		While you have a new album in the works, you cannot think that kind of things too much cause it may easily ruin and fuck up your own concentration and focus from the main thing totally.

		"Wishmaster" is everything I'd hoped this band would evolve into.
		This was the second album that I ever heard by Nightwish.
		There songs range from tributes to fantasy (FantasMic, Wishmaster) to love (She is my Sin, Come Cover Me), to depression (Dead Boy's Poem, which is really sad).

	Nightwish: album reviews and ratings
		Many have also labeled Nightwish a goth/metal band due to the lyrics and the mood their albums evoke, and I can understand that.
		'Once' is a slightly mellower Nightwish album in the vein of 'Century Child', keeping a healthy distance from the 'Wishmaster' assault on aural senses.
		There are many highlights on the album to list them all, but Creek Mary's Blood is an epic majestic piece not to overlook; while, Nemo, the first single taken from the album, has already conquered the European charts and earned them rave reviews and a myriad of new followers, with its catchy pop appeal.
