The single 'Noise' is killer though it is a bit of an outlier: Jansen, possessed of one of the largest ranges in rock, channels the band's original vocalist Tarja Turunen here ecstatically. It explodes with chugging, crunchy guitars and drums with Jansen framed by choral singers and a stinging six-string solo from guitarist Emppu Vuorinen. Through the bridge it flirts with crossover classical and cinema music with lovely lyric hooks, synth strings and piano.
Seven-minute opener 'Music,' is a comfortable intro for ardent fans its first half consists of an instrumental buildup consisting of tribal chants, and epic choirs.
