Within Temptation

New album is out.

Hydra.


I got mine yesterday. 2 disc version with some bonus cover songs and demo versions.

Video for "Paradise" (feat. Tarja Turunen)


I didn't give it a proper listen yet, but I like the band a lot. The Unforgiving was a little hit and miss, but the three before it were all great.

I actually thought The Unforgiving was their strongest album songwriting wise. Hydra isn't a bad album I just can't seem to ever want to go back to these guys. It's not that the music is bad, I actually enjoy a lot of their material. I just tend to go back to other bands more..

I"m kind of burned out on the female fronted symphonic thing lately. Nightwish is about the only one that holds my interest. That's a good song though, Tarja sounds great.

The last four tracks were forgettable, and some of the others like Iron and Fire and Ice, were kind of lame. I don't remember the other albums having that many songs I didn't care about.
