Like I seriously thought they were the single greatest thing ever!
Now I fucking hate them!
I hate the whole opera metal concept.
Gah makes me wanna hurl....

But hey if you like them more power to you

That's interesting, what made you change your mind? Most of their songs have the opera metal concept and it's pretty hard to avoid while listening to them, you know.

Well I stopped listening to them for awhile cas my computer crashed like 5 times or so in a week
So I never got around to downloading them again. I started listen to music that scream like Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban, black dehlia stuff like that and when I got around to downloading them again i was just like damn......
Also theyre CD ashes was right bad! Like when I used to like them, that cd made me lose abit of interest

But hey look its all good if you guys like it

Tristania is such a great band I have to admit that Illumination was a bit of a let down but all the rest of the albums were spectacular. To agree with nearly everyone else World of Glass is the absolute best. I could look at Vibeke all day so sad she left.

I love Tristania. Especially Widow's Weeds, Beyond the Veil, and World of Glass.

I was never really interested in their early 'gothic' works. Ashes came and that was incredibly dull. Then came Illumination and for the first time I perked up thinking, hey this band aren't half bad.

From the samples I've heard I really like Mary. She could really make Tristania into a great band in my eyes.

I've only heard Ashes, it's okay I suppose, only really liked the first song.
