My Top 10 Current Favorite Albums of the Week

I won't lie, the reason the new Nightwish album isn't on this week's list is because I immediately did not like it. Straight up not like it when I listened to it on Friday. It is another snooze fest just like Human: :II: Nature. I don't like this direction the band is going music wise. I did and do love Endless Forms Most Beautiful but after that, the band's music went downhill for him. Floor Jansen is a great singer for the band, she definitely has the range but it is Tuomas's material that I do not like. TBH bands DengeL (China), Eleanor (Japan), and Tears of Tragedy (Japan) released better gothic/symphonic metal albums than that pretentious snoozefest Yesterwynde. I think this is a time for me to move on from Nightwish. 

On more positive note, I recently saw that my favorite symphonic metal band Silent Elegy from Beijing, China is back on Facebook. They have always been active in real life but they just now decided to return to social media. I hope they have been working on new music. I love their album Gone With the Wind which reminds me of Nightwish during the Tarja era. 

My top current favorite album this week is from the Chinese folk/metal band Toonaleaves. I discovered Toonaleaves last year on youtube. Not long ago they signed to Pest Productions, and this month released their debut album Ballad of Innocence and Experience. It is a fantastic album.
