Colours in the dark

"Tarjas vokal er som altid en oplevelse i sig selv. Den stort anlagte let metalliske rockmusik er skræddersyet til hendes gennemtrængende sopran ... Colours In The Dark er et forbløffende godt eksempel på, at den store kunst og det, der i virkeligheden er svært, ofte er at få de simple ting til at fungere".

"The album's theme is a report on the determination Tarja summoned as the world went wacky around her. The album is also a pinnacle of IMAX metal. Lyric sopranos like Tarja Turunen are among the finest instruments produced by the human species, and her gift is worthy of an IMAX presentation. But like most of the movies offered on the ten-story screen, Tarja's solo albums are forgettable. They're made to be big and loud. They're light in songwriting and heavy on the special effects of her 72-octave range".
