Nightwish AN OCEAN OF STRANGE ISLANDS - a very uncreative first reaction

[@RolfMeyer-cl7ou]

In my opinion, a new classical Nightwish. Masterpiece 🤘

Floor doing Floor things ❤

Wonderful reaction, we have missed you, you are a beautiful soul. I hope you have the most amazing time tomorrow, I have a feeling that you will 🤞

[@kirsisaari926]

Hieno reaktio ❣ Täytyy sanoa, että tämä on kyllä yksi parhaita Nightwish biisejä koskaan. LOVE IT ❤‍🔥

[@Mars-is4un]

I want to see it LIVE !!!!!!!!!!! EPIC - the symphony orchestra is fantastic

[@tomdog78]

In the end, Troy comes in and hits me in the feels. WOW👍🤘🤘🔥

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

Toumas you have given us so many emotions and feelings and then deep delvings into our meaning our life and our evolving

[@nigelstuart756]

Did you know you already have the "Yesterwynde" album cover on the shelf behind you? 😀👍❤

[@surfzb]

Yes 😅

[@tomdog78]

Wow😊

@nigelstuart756 How lovely you noticed! Isn't it just... so funny? I made the canvas as a creative reaction to The Greatest Show on Earth in March. (Goodness, I have forgotten to finish editing my reaction: there's about 20 hours of video about the whole process and NOBODY would watch it!) Its' been on my wall since, so when I saw the album cover, I decided Nightwish rrrrrreally loves my art style. :D Well, to be almost serious, I have said that my laces and silks go well with heavy metal. They do. But the canvas weights a ton... :D

[@nigelstuart756]

@Harvinaisenkauniselama Well, it just shows that you are on the same wavelength as Tuomas and Nightwish to come up with that art. Enjoy the whole album. All the best. 😀

[@IntegrativeHealingwithSadhana]

I love your enthusiasm! ❤

Love your reaction to Ocean of Strange Islands it really reminds me of the poem Season Reason Lifetime why people come into our lives and what they bring with them to teach us at that time. It has really made me think of the lifetime friends and what they have shared and given me both in the good and bad. Troy’s pipes cause Nostalgic feelings in me. Calling You Calling Me to be part of your storey gels it all together for me Will you give us a report about how you felt during the release listen and after you had time to process later if they were the same feelings I am hoping the album grows on me the three single’s have left me a bit unsure about how I feel certainly this one has had the most impact though wise I think it’s all the quick words Floor has to sing so quickly is putting me off a bit 🇦🇺

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

For me this is an epic Mastepiece! 😎🤘 Siinäpä sitä vähän hevimpää vissyä meille lapsosille - toivottavasti ei liian heviä sulle. Palaan asiaan saunan jälkeen.

[@luisnaranjovillegas4169]

Really Miss You!!! Love To Much Your Reactions. You Are The BEST. I Hope You React All Album!!

[@adriannicholson3365]

So honoured to share some more of your uniquely beautiful story. Keep sailing on. Nightwish was a quintet from Sami’s arrival until Troy made it a sextet. So I guess Tuomas is saying that he plans to travel on with the current lineup (as opposed to any specific lineup from the past). So many probable references to previous songs but like you my brain is frazzled by the end of the song and my heart says enough, it’s a one way trip so sail on towards tomorrow.. Greetings from the edge of Dartmoor. ❤

Hi Don't be put off by the thumbnail for The Day of... Tuomas described it as the core of the album, being a gainsaying of the doom-mongers and a reflection of the optimism of the album. Those who have heard the full album have been saying Lantern light, which will be released as a video on Friday to mark the album release, is the best on the album - we shall see. This one is a showcase for every member. Kai, Jukka, Tuomas and Emppu all do great work and of course Troy is a star. Floor is outstanding of course and even the naysaying critics at Louder have to admit it. Nightwish allocated 2 weeks for Floor to record the vocals. She completed them in 6 days. Given the rapidity of done of the lyrics, not just in this song, and the complexity - hats off! Good to see you again. All the best for the coming weeks and months.

I'll love your reactions, sometime it's like looking in the mirror for me: how you react from your feelings/emotions and feel the music and lyrics .. awesome. I hope you enjoy listening to the wholen album tomorrow... and be happy to be there

[@nicschu456]

Loved this. Thank you Emilia! Btw., I had similar thoughts with the sour wine, retiree.... Greetings from Germany🥰

[@renejensen7799]

Tuomas said this song is about people we meet along the way in life, each person represent a island, or a happening in your life, and the one steering the ship, Tuomas, or maybe you.. it could be your story right, but Tuomas proberly did write it as him steering the ship. Thats just one take on it, cause Tuomas also said the song could have a triple meaning. guees it could also be taken as the journey of the band, or a 3th option. feel some imaginarium vibes here, also some melody parts reminds a bit if the NW song Sahara.. i do think its a great song, i didnt catch it at first listen, i was also pretty tired, maybe thats why, but now i get on a journey with it, sailing this ship to diffrent island, and in the end with the pipe section we go to final port, where we do not need to visit more islands.. love it!!

This is another Tuomas Holopainen masterpiece. He only keeps on getting better as his talent and vision matures. Absolutely stunning. This composition is as deep as the Marianas Trench and has more layers than a baklava.

Hei ihana Emilia 💖 Ihanaa nähdä sinua jälleen 🥰

[@elsenm3965]

Hard , Epic and meaningful ! Love your reaction !

[@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614]

Beautiful! Will there be a creative reaction as well?🙏

[@Harvinaisenkauniselama]

@zbygniewprlwytzkofsky6614 Really? Honestly? Someone actually wants to see my creative reaction??? You have no idea how happy you just made me! Thank you!

Hi

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Noniin, hyvää matkaa julkkareihin. Liian kaukana mulle, mutta 3cd Earbookin pitäisi kolahtaa peltiseen (köyhillä on muoviset 😂) postlaatikkooni lähipäivinä. Erityisesti minua kiinnostaa orkesteriversio, koska orkkaa käytetään tällä levyllä paljon. Harppu siellä oli, ja Empun soolo oli lyhyt mutta hyvä. Kiirettä piti Floorilla sanojen kanssa - ehkä vähän liikaakin. Kaitsu kyllä piti tuplbasarien
