Within Temptation

With Water Rose posting about Within Temptation, it got me thinking, this is a band I've heard of and have a few MP3's of, but I've never purchased a CD by them. What I have heard so far, I really, really like.  And I have some gifts cards from Christmas that are burning a hole in my pocket!  Tongue So, what CD would you recommend to someone who is relatively new to Within Temptation?

Re: Within Temptation

Bitter sweet is a really good album.  At least I enjoyed it.  But then again I enjoyed all of them.  Bitter Sweet was the first one that I bought though.

Re: Within Temptation

Bitter Sweet is a good start one with, I'd have to agree.

Re: Within Temptation

I may have to check them out also. Sounds like an ultra cool band.

Re: Within Temptation

That's really interesting...on the bands official site there's no album listed as Bitter Sweet, nor is there any album/cd listed on Amazon as Bitter Sweet. You guys sure you have the right band?

Re: Within Temptation

Oops I bought the album in Europe where it was called Bittersweet II.  By the looks of it in North America it's' called Mother Earth.  The Silent Force is another EXCELLENT album.  You might want to check that one out too.  Have you heard of Nightwish.  The earlier stuff with Tarja Turunen is amazing.  Her voice is so powerful and haunting.  When I first heard her sing I was immediately hooked.  She's a very beautiful woman too.  Europeans have all the luck  Grin.

Re: Within Temptation

I've heard the name, but not sure I've heard any of their music. Oh and thanks, I was really confused last night looking for that CD! lol

Re: Within Temptation

This is one of my favorites, but then again I'm a huge musical type guy anyway.  You can find other Nightwish videos on Youtube as well.

Re: Within Temptation

Hmm...I downloaded (*ducks*) most of the Within Temptation that I have.   One of the albums is listed as Bittersweet.   Huh...I'm going to have to go over their albums again.   EEK!

Re: Within Temptation

Like wise here. Mother Earth was an awesome CD, but I did like Silent Force better. I have their entire discography. I don't have anything by the name of Bittersweet. Maybe it was a European release only. I have a couple of old David Bowies that were only released in Britian.

As for Nightwish, they rock! I highly recommend watching this one. It's one of my favorites! I only wish I could hit a high C like she does!

Re: Within Temptation

I figured out what it was.

Somehow, one of my folders got corrupted.  Instead of it saying the Mother Earth file, it said Bittersweet.   But there is one song by them by that title.   This computer can be such a pain sometimes.
