5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, October 26, 2000

Amazing band. Some of the best song writing in metal that I have ever heard (20 years metal experience). If this band continues with the same kind of effort and style, they are going to be giants (in the metal world) for years to come. Tarja is a phenomenal singer. Classically-trained, passionate, and flawless. Musically, this band would be in the Progressive metal category.. not overly heavy and very melodic. This is a very special band here. What's striking about them is the individual songs. Each song has it's own voice and can stand it's ground. Unlike most bands who's songs sound similar as far as style and feel... to get a taste of Nightwish, you must listen to an entire album. This review, by the way, is for both Wishmaster and, their previous album, Oceanborn. Both are must-have albums and are equally good. Their first album, Angels Fall First, isn't as good, as you can tell they were still trying to develop their style, but it is very good too. Amazing band with a great future ahead. Buy all 3 albums and enjoy!

This album I feel is Nightwish's best album to date. Full of true emotion and feeling. with blazing Guitars and Keyboards this album is a notch above the rest. If you love Melodic Metal this is the album to get along with any other Nightwish album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third album - the BEST album!, July 17, 2000

Nightwish's third album continues the same lines as Angels Fall First and Oceanborn but you can see that Nightwish's music is even better in this album! "She is My Sin" is just like it would be from Oceanborn. Good heavy metal music! But "The Kinslayer" is something that even words can't describe... It's wonderful music! Tarja sings so powerfully. Many people I know doesn't like Nightwish but almost every of them still likes "Wanderlust". And why wouldn't they? "Wanderlust" has got powerfull and at the same time classical music. Lyrics are great (Tuomas Holopainen is a genius)! "Two for Tragedy" is very sensitive and sad song, but it's too much like "Sleeping Sun" I think. "Wishmaster" and "Crownless" are something new and great. They are the sure-hits of this album, yes! "Deep Silent Complete" is one of the greatest songs of the album but the biggest is coming after it... Dead Boy's Poem is just like from the opera. Breath-taking music, sad lyrics are Tarja is singing so powerfully and beautifully. I hope that this will be the next single of this album. FantasMic is great song, it's new and great! I can't describe it more. This album was great and I hope that Nightwish will be soon the most popular band in this world because it deserves it!
