Click to play audio sample | SCARETALE | TRACK 6 |

Ultimately ‘Imaginarium’ is a wonderful gothic symphony of an album to lose yourself inside. The amazing breadth and depth of Tuomas’ vision is stunning and the band have all stepped up to deliver a tour-de-force that will be all but impossible to match. This is as grandiloquent a statement as Nightwish could ever have hoped to make and that the band have pulled it off without putting a single foot wrong is all the more impressive.

Extra points must surely be given for the beautiful artwork and packaging and a bonus disc featuring the instrumental version of the album will undoubtedly please completists although it is something that will rarely grace my own player.
