[Nightwish]

Oceanborn is not their best, not their worst. Of course, their worst is better than most bands' best. It was probably the most progressive and most technical of all their albums, though. I'd put it about even with Angels Fall First and Once, slightly behind Wishmaster and Century Child (which are tied for my favorites of the Tarja era). As much as I like Tarja, though, Dark Passion Play is rapidly becoming my favorite Nightwish album. Yes, there are some weak tracks, but all of the albums have a weak track or two. The only song that I'd really consider weak off Dark Passion Play is "For the Heart I Once Had"), they just didn't flesh it out as well as they could have.
