Nightwish went downhill hard when Floor Jansen became the lead singer, which sucks because she's an awesome singer and tears through the old stuff live very well. The new albums just sound so bland IMO, and Tuomas' writing has gotten so damn pretentious it takes away any enjoyment I might have
They peaked with the albums Once and Dark Passion Play. Nothing they've released in the last decade comes close to this kind of energy
