Shudder Before the Beautiful little comment
I listened to the second single of Nightwish's new album today. After Élain - which didn't really catch my attention - I was a bit concerned about the new album, but yeah, no worries.
If Élain would get a 2 from me, Shudder Before the Beautiful is a solid and awestriking 9.something. That's how much I loved it :)
I got a sort of Oceanborn feeling from it at some parts for some reason, the whole recording/planning in the midst of wilderness was certainly the best environment insiration for this album. However I loved the guitar riff reminescencing Master Passion Greed. I thought 'Yeah that's Nightwish right there.' And I fucking ascended to outerspace at the choirs (had to repeat that part). And seriously, that little change of tone/note/whatever that Floor does at the final “We are shuddering” is like the final boom of awesomeness.
first time I actually write a comment about a song on tumblr but hey this song is worth it

And it sounds awesome low pitched!
