I used to like them about two years ago. They have some pretty good songs and then some pretty boring songs. Try Tristania, they're better in my opinion.

I really love the sound of fantasy-themed metal/rock, and Nightwish has an especially beautiful sounding vocalist, but the lyrics usually end up making me giggle. Nightwish, Blind Guardian, and (I think) Stratovarius have all done really cheesy songs about LotR/The Tolkienverse... Which doesn't only incite giggles from me, but massive eye-rolls as well.

I can see myself liking Nightwish alot more if I had discovered them when I was younger. Back in the day when I wrote lyrics on my school binders.

They're OK, I used to listen to them some years ago and was at a concert once too (my very first concert, incidentally), but my taste in music has changed by now. Sometimes I still listen to some of their songs, I also like the new singer.

You should check out the album "...Where the Shadows Lie" by Battlelore. It's and entire album of female-fronted LotR-metal.

I like Nightwish. I think Once is by far their best album. I also like Annette's vocals. Tarja's bore me after listening to them for a while.

I've never been into them myself, but lots of people at the High School I went to really liked them.. I guess their music is okay, but I don't really understand the hype.

I guess it's all about preference, though.
