This review is from: Memories (Audio CD)

This Within Temptation single includes three wonderful songs from the Dutch symphonic metal band, two of which had never before been released. While these are different versions of previously released songs on The Silent Force, they are a welcome addition to the sing and inject it with unique life that gives WT fans and music collectors (like me) and incentive to pick up the single. Though these may be a little obscure, they are great tracks that musical completest, such as myself, absolutely must have them.

Title track "Memories" is one of my favorites from The Silent Force album. It's deep and emotional, and has the power to reach across boundaries and make fans of WT non-believers. Heck, after hearing this song my former roommate wanted to get her hands on every piece of WT music I had. It's impossible to resist the emotion and beauty in Sharon's voice here.

The orchestral version of "Aquarius" is a welcome surprise here. For me, this took a generally boring and fairly unlikable song, but the orchestral version pumps some much-needed life into it. Plus there's a live track of "A Dangerous Mind" from 2004. It's live tracks like this that show just how much Sharon's live performance skills have improved in only a few years. She, and WT, are a truly amazing band, constantly growing and maturing the skills and their sound.
