The lyrical content is brilliant too, being a commentary on how technology, specifically social media, is shallow and is getting in the way of our lives, taking over.

Elements of symphony meet chugging metal harmoniously, and even though the main refrain sounds very akin to the Game of Thrones theme, this is a strong enough track to stand itвЂ™s own ground. The changes of pacing and tone are masterful, transforming seamlessly from more ambient moments, to walls of epic sound.

The theatrics here are off the charts, carrying with it a massive spectacle.

If thereвЂ™s one thing to take away from this, itвЂ™s that they sure know how to make an entrance! WeвЂ™re then introduced to вЂњNoiseвЂќ, which was the first single off the record, and long time listeners should feel at home here. Before long, it roars into the heavy, epic symphonic metal that Nightwish are known for. Frontwoman Floor Jansen doesnвЂ™t even come in until half way through the song, her vocals soft and comforting in tone, alongside the whimsical instrumentation. It begins with the the primal feel of prehistoric times, into the renaissance era by utilising soft orchestral undertones and piano, then a choir signals the introduction of sweeping, stunning symphonic arrangements. As the track progresses, itвЂ™s pretty clear what this is doing, being a whistle-stop tour of the evolution of music through the ages. The album starts, quite aptly, with вЂњMusicвЂќ, drawing listeners in by building a rich ambience, that has ethereal tones.
