	Something about that all that shit that's huge in Europe.....all the symphonic ...dramatic....uh....STUFF.....I just don't get it. Is that supposed to be heavy? Or something? Why is it on Blabbermouth? This and that Nightwish band....it's exactly the same thing to me. You could swap the bands and music with each other...and I could NOT tell the difference. I guess that's what's big in Europe. I guess.

	I can't speak for Nightwish, but Within Temptation used to be more "metal" back in the day. The guitarist sang guttural vocals, but they've since dropped that after seeing the success of some other bands (I suspect). One thing that is true, regardless of one's opinion on their music, the lead singer of Within Temptation is gorgeous!

	Having not heard any of Within Teptations previous releases, I took a chance and bought their latest release. Even though I am a huge fan of Nightwish, I have to admit that the female fronted symp bands are really starting to to get old. After listening to 'Heart of Everything,' I can honestly say that I like every song on the album...good stuff. Evanessence gives bands like this a band wrap, just because Evanessence is so one dimentional. I urge people to check out WT. myspace.com/shadowbreedband
