1). Lost Northen Star
This track is one of the heaviest songs I've heard in a long time. It starts with Tarja singing "haaa haaa" then the guitar enters, the intro becomes extremely scary, then the guitars start to become much more powerful while Tarja keeps on singing "haaa haa" hauntingly. Then Tarja's real voice enters and the guitars explode, agressing your ears terribly like blast beats. Tarja sings with her pop voice on the verses and with her operatic voice on the chorus. You can hear a Nightwish influence in the second verse. After the second chorus you hear like a ghost whispering which scared the hell out of me when I heard it! :blink: The music then slows down featuring Tarja's pop voice for a little rest but the blast-beats are back soon and we get to hear a very agressive guitar solo. After the last chorus, the music later fades with the scary whispering ghost we heard earlier and strange noises reminding of whales or the kind of noise we hear at the Poles. This song is definetely not catchy nor popy I warn you. It's very agressive.
2). (Unknown title)
The songs starts with a strange ticking noise soon followed by guitars and a keyboard. Tarja's voice appears later in a very very scary way. The guitars attack and become agressive. This song is more catchy than the previous one especially due to its chorus. Tarja's voice later turns nearly robotic and the orchestra kicks in. The orchestra starts melting with the heavy guitars. "Here she comes..." sings Tarja on the chorus and we get to hear a guitar solo which is quickly joined by violins. A background voice appears then the guitars and the orchestra come back. Tarja uses her pop voice all along the song (the Century Child pop voice I mean). And before you are allowed to breathe, the song finishes in an instant.
3). Oasis (I guessed)
Epic mysterious intro featuring a double bass and a harp and a constant noise reminding of the sound of the wind. Very appeasing! The flute appears melting with the rest and all of this is quickly replaced by a piano. Tarja's voice enters singing "Hooo Haaa" and this gives you the illusion you're on a beach listening to the music made by the tides of the sea. The piano becomes very melancholic and someone starts breathing on top of it. Tarja starts singing in an operatic way in Finish (only three or four lines) then the instrumental part comes back. This song is mostly instrumental, it's about creating an appeasing atmosphere between all the blastbeats found on the other songs.
4). Sing For Me
This songs starts with strange chants that I would compare to warriors going to war. Tarja sings "I need you to sing, sing for me my land, here inside my mind for this heart of mine". This is a very epic track, like the BO of a movie. When the choir kicks in, following Tarja's operatic voice, it becomes a huge eargasm comparable to Ghost Love Score. The guitars arrive as Tarja's voice returns to pop still followed by the choir. The music fades and the "warrior" chants come back with the noise of cristal being broken.
5). (Unknown title)
The intro is with a keyboard and guitars, reminding me a bit of NW. Tarja's pop voice is backed by guitars screaming once again. This is another very agressive track BUT more or less catchy. Tarja sings pop during the verses backed by agressive guitars. There is a small guitar solo before the chorus which features the lyrics "to die alive". Choirs kick in and once again turn into a big eargasm. Tarja's voice comes back tripled still followed by heavy guitars. The choir arrives again and Tarja starts singing with all the strenght in her operatic voice "to die alive, to die alive!!!". The songs fades out on a keyboard solo.
6). (Unknown title maybe "The Seer" or "Minor Heaven" I'm no sure)
The song begins like a ballad with a double bass. Tarja sings with her full operatic vocal range on this track it's really really stunning! She reaches very high heights. The beginning of the song is a mix between "Kuolema tekeii tajtelijan" and "Two for Tragedy". As the song advances it gains more and more power and finally the guitars kick in in a pretty heavy way still backing Tarja's operatic voice. Then there is a guitar solo and the song starts fading with Tarja singing "Heaven, heaven...". Surprisingly (even though you think the song is finished) the music comes back for a final chorus where Tarja reaches very high notes.
7). (Unknown title)
The intro reminds me of the noises of a jungle or a tropical forest. The guitars suddenly explode and Tarja starts singing in a very creepy way. The choirs arrive and Tarja now sings with her operatic voice. Then there is a guitar solo (very heavy!!) and Tarja's voice comes back, followed by those agressive guitars. A man grunts for two seconds and Tarja starts singing again in a creepy innocent way. The choirs come back and Tarja continues singing creepily. This song has a very scary atmosphere! "She sees, she dreams, she prays...". The chorus is catchy. Ghost whispering arrive as Tarja sings with her operatic voice. Then there is a guitar solo topped with Tarja singing "ooh, hipee".
8). (Unknown Title)
This is a ballad. The intro is slow and atmospheric. Tarja begins with her pop voice and then turns to her operatic one. This song is really beautiful and full of emotion. This is one of the rare songs where Tarja with her operatic voice convays a strong emotion. The song fades with the orchestra.

Цитата:
The guitarrs are blasting. If you thought DPP was heavy, wait to hear MWS. The speed of the guitars can be compared to the ones in the intro of "Mercyside" by Tristania. They are heavy, agressive, it's like "BAMBAMBAMBAM" preventing you to breathe.
Вот теперь ожидание точно стало невыносимым
