One thing about Nightwish, expectations are seldom met. They are always exceeded.

[@TheMuserResolute]

Yesssss so true

[@annkimagnusson-si6gg]

​@@TheMuserResoluteaå

[@jeroens9160]

Yep, Floor growled ;-)

[@tribblefluffer]

If I had a music teacher like you when I was younger I might not be struggling to teach myself at 40. Great analyses as always. I know almost nothing about music theory but I still learn a lot from your videos, so thanks for taking the time to create and share this.

[@jamilasnadman793]

Trust me you don’t want a music teacher like him his was so annoying last year 😂😂😂😂

[@tribblefluffer]

@@jamilasnadman793 I'm sure I may have thought the same thing in the past. He probably would have thought the same about me because I wasn't very a very good student. I had great grades but I just never showed up to class. Music has always been a very important part of my life, but I just wish i'd spent more time on it when I was younger. I know it might sound cliche and stupid, but if he's annoying you, it's because he legitimately cares. You'll probably laugh at this whole message, but maybe if you read it again or remember it in 10 or 20 years, you'll see what I mean. I'd gladly take annoying over struggling to teach myself, even if that was the case.

[@mariadoesyt]

@@tribblefluffer nah bro his annoying as fuck, and absolutely rude/mean

[@tenaseesherry]

Thank you Lord, MTR is back to Nightwish!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Missed you! 😘

[@chadbennett7873]

This song climbed up my list of Nightwish favorites and now resides in the top 5, which revolves around which song I'm listening to. Emppu is just wound up in this song, and delivers my all-time favorite Emppu moment, when he hops at the beginning of the breakdown. (You looked down and missed it!). He then transforms into the perfect metal guitar God with the long blonde hair head banging, just WOW! Marco is amazing, and the contrast between his vocals with Floor is stunning. Tumoas and Jukka just lay the perfect foundation on which this amazing structure is built. Yes, Floor was growling while Marco was singing. My favorite "heavy" song for this perfect band. As always, loved your comments, you really enhance the listening of their songs.

[@NickBR57]

You're have liked Emppu in the Wembley show, I think it was Last Ride, for a moment like that when she jumps with him.

[@brianwillson9567]

In Imaginaerum Tuomas created an epic album a million miles from the Tarja era. In ‘phase three Nightwish’ Tuomas has a singer who can give her take on Tarja tracks, Anette tracks and anything Tuomas can now throw at her directly. Thank you for your detailed insight into this track.

[@jpsother1183]

When Annette was singing this, she did a falsetto "scream" for her part of the line ". . . Live As You Scream/Dream" which works well over Marko's growl, then Floor decided to use her growl to go under Marko, and it works just as well.

[@NickBR57]

My favourite thing about this is Floor's soaring legato over Marco's staccato grit. Love it. Yes, Floor does a growl, often missed. Edit: oh and the other thing (actually there are many) is in "beautifully shy as you are". Floor's vibrato control through that long note is stunning.

[@zvolencan1]

This is such an interesting content! I´ve always wanted Tuomas himself to break down his songs, I wanted to know what´s happening there, but thankfully we have you. Thank you very much!

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thanks 😊

[@merqury5]

This is my favourite NW song. It has everything I think is great about the band at that stage.

[@nicod1361]

musical genius Tuomas & NW is and then Floor puts the "bow" on the package and wraps it all up like no one else can.

[@frankmerris8821]

great reaction.had no idea what you were talking about but i will fake it lol. yes to EVERDREAM again

[@tanjajko7220]

I love the harmonies on this one ❤ and hi again, long time no Nightwishanalysis 😊

[@littleraven28]

Great reaction ! I love this song, the sheer brilliance of using that creepy children's choir is just awesome. Tuomas put in so many layers in this song and Marko and Floor execute the vocals and harmonies so perfect. Same for Emppu rocking out that nice solo. 🤘❤

[@kezca]

Well loved that thankyou great analysis very enjoyable.

[@metalzonereactions]

Always enjoy your analysis, thank you. And looking forward to the re-reviewactionanalysisthing for Ever Dream as well

[@TheMuserResolute]

You’re welcome!

[@malyvo0]

You do the most profound and the most enjoyable reactions out there! Thank you sir!

[@TheMuserResolute]

You’re welcome ☺️ thank you for watching!

[@rickphil9999]

Hi again, MTR. Great analysis and breakdown of this wonderful performance. Absolutely loved it.

[@ir5412]

The music theory stuff is very interesting! Nice reaction!

[@Thorgrim247]

Great analysis and musical commentary as usual my friend. Another quite unusual musical composition from the man. I look forward to the next installment.

[@CCEDE73]

It's a haunting track 🙂

[@AnOldGreyDog]

Definitely do one of those deep analyses of Everdream. I've really enjoyed the ones you've done so far.

[@loulagro2315]

Such a great intelligent harmonic analysis! Thank you!

[@TheMuserResolute]

You’re so welcome!

[@TaverenTech]

Hey, welcome back! Its been a while since I've seen a NW reaction from you.... love your reactions...

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you!

[@rianavermeulen4316]

Amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@FromG2eminor]

Tuomus and his deceptive cadences. I love him. Music theory...you are speaking my language. I'm a piano teacher and love teaching theory. Would love someone to do a theory masterclass for each of his songs.

[@robvandeven5924]

Nice reaction. Thanks for your explanation

[@durabelle]

Yess, more Nightwish! I'm always happy to get to know their songs better, but need these breakdowns to notice details instead of only the general feeling. Not saying their songs are like background music or anything, but there's so much happening at once that left on my own I miss most of it and just go with the flow. So thanks for these! (I'm a bit late to this, but yesterday was all about the new Måneskin album while it was still fresh from the oven, so everything else had to wait 😆)

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thanks as always!!! Hope you’ve been well :) Any outstanding recommendations as single songs from their new album which I should get to straight away? I mean it’s a silly question because I should probably be just listening to their album from start to finish 😆

[@durabelle]

@@TheMuserResolute Mm, that's a difficult question at this point! Can't say which ones will be the most popular from the newest ones yet, or even my personal favourites, some of them might still grow on people. Plus I'm not sure if you've heard the ones released as singles over the past months. If not, then The Loneliest is totally worth a listen, but has of course been reacted to quite a lot already. Out of the others I'd pick Gasoline (written right after the Ukraine war started and directed at Putin, but official version wasn't out until now), Mark Chapman (in Italian regardless of the name, for me the melody and general mood is more interesting than lyrics in this), and If Not For You (mainly for it's style, very distinctive song on this album). All the songs seem to have their own group of fans already. Got to warn you that this album has quite a lot of stuff not necessarily suited to a family friendly channel, as there's this punk rock vibe going on with some of the songs both in style and spirit. The ones I've suggested should not need any censoring though 😆

[@TheMuserResolute]

Thank you! 😊

[@christophschmedes5975]

Wacken is not only a Metall Festival Wacken is a liddel Village in North Germany 1.800 People live there every year for 3 day cam Metall Heads from around the World to this Event 🤘🤘🤘

[@martinklaus2203]

I think Shudder Before The Beautiful (Live from Wembley) will make it up into your top 5.

[@KlounAda]

This version of the song - awesome.

[@pauljohnson7382]

So...3 thoughts... 1.) BEARD LIFE!... 2.) Appreciate that you don't "concentrate" exclusively on any one band/performer...gets old when all someone does is a complete library of said publications/performances... 3.) Personally can't read music...absolutely fascinated when you decompose a score for analysis...might as well be Portuguese for all I know...lol! Great Evaluation! 👍

[@jaakkomaaniemi2136]

Definitely pick apart Everdream, it's such an emotional song. Shees it picks up crazy at the end.

[@SandraNelson063]

Ever Dream killed me. Got me right between the eyes.

[@Ireksojkowski]

Hi, nice reaction

[@miksogtriks5354]

Yoo, just found your content and have been binging a lot of your catalogue. I want to suggest a song to you, and I can promise you won't regret listening to it. It's swedish prog from the 90's with an insane lineup of multi-instrumentalists. Its called Kung Bore by Änglagård, you'll find the album on KZbin. They also have a few live performances on KZbin, and just as good. Really hope you'll check them out, they're a hidden gem and will 100% shock you.

[@live2020__]

[@IkkjeDus]

Did you change your handle, Mr Muser? 😁All the best for 2023!

[@Suicideshakes]

Can I just say, first, I love nightwish reactions and yours is really great secondly, I'm sure they told you that yes it's Floor that growls in Yours is an empty Hope. Thirdly, you made my stomach hurt and my dog and cats scared because I was literally yelling at you hoping you'd here me say it was her while you were going back and forth trying to figure it out. was that Floor? Yes, No yes no, can't be she doesn't go as low as Jinger! 😡 I love Jinger don't get me wrong but MY GOD MAN.... Can't you hear it? 😂 OK ok my rant is done and I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to subscribe. I'm still a little mad at you. Also, when you said "don't leave" you made laugh. Then I remembered I'm pissed at you and tossed my phone. Onto the bed but... Still. 😂 BTW I have you heard Floors early days in Revamp? Pretty good but she belongs in Nightwish. Thank you and my heart rate went up to 114 so if I drop dead, it's your fault.

[@solarwinds9363]

I still think to myself: loudest keyboard in the business 🤭

[@Klojum]

"Did Floor do the growls?" You really have to ask? 😛

[@BigzampanoXXL]

Please do EVERDREAM - we appreciate your insights! Very nice for apprecation also for TUOMAS. What shall i say about Floor? Everthing said....

[@Piia2023]

Every song from the album Imaginaerum should be from the album version, the orchestra is just amazing, a lot that you miss out here. But really nice reaction, thanks ☺️

[@mdudley52]

Jim Steinman/Meatloaf compositions might be something to consider.

[@SandraNelson063]

I miss Marko. No offense to the new guy, I just miss Marko. By the way, have we told you lately that you're AWSOME!

[@noneofyerbeeswax8194]

The new guy has a name, you know... Marko ain't coming back, we should get over it. Otherwise we'd be like the kind of people who still miss Tarja.

[@karalangenberg1124]

Where have you been?! Hopefully all is well! Not sure if anyone told you but NFs new song HOPE dropped... Was hoping to hear your reaction on it. Also... Tommee Proffitt did a "How to" sort of video on how HOPE was made... there's so many layers 😱 lol. I thought that may be cool to do too???? Anyways... HOPE.. 😏.. to see what you think soon! 🌄🧭🗺️🎻🎶

[@mariorodriguez-qt9sz]

You need to react to Ren - Hi Ren... you will love it. its right up your alley. love your videos.

[@InnaNederland]

Привет из Королевства Нидерландов!

[@jackjensen5864]

If you really want too hear floor growl you should listen to yours is an emty house

[@michaelbeecher5958]

Empty hope.

[@jackjensen5864]

Yours is an emty hope

[@silviahannak3213]

Why do Ppl always question that she can growl? Just because Guys do it, Wonen can't? I mean it is not easy but also not not impossible.

[@christophschmedes5975]

Yes floor do the liddel Growls by ghost river

[@jaskau2462]

🤩👌💥💯🎼 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

[@3534538]

I didn't fully understand your analysis but you don't have to be sorry, I believe I learned something. Assuming you didn't mean "sorry, not sorry" anyway 😄😉

[@anssia3123]

Are you going to do Eurovision songs this year?

[@nicholasalley4909]

NF dropped a new Song and music video masterpiece called Hope! we would love to see a reaction as a community!

[@tamarack1pines]

MTR… NF has released a NEW song/video called Hope! I’ll be waiting patiently for your Reaction! ^-^

[@86painkilla]

I think you would really appreciate nightwish with 'Gethsemane' next time.

[@elvwood]

For me this is one of the songs which is most improved live _(Weak_ _Fantasy_ is another). However, even here there are points where I prefer Anette's vocals from the album version - the little responses slipped in during Marko's solo parts ("know why", "come across") really show a particular vocal quality which even the chameleonic Floor can't reproduce. Overall, though, this is the best version IMO. I don't know much musical theory but I can nod along and really enjoy seeing someone knowledgeable break down the composition, glad you're continuing!

[@carlafaleiro2177]

Please, react to Mimicat from Portugal Eurovision 2023!!!!!!
