Oh yeah- Rubicon is to Tristania what Dark Passion Play was to Nightwish. (Mariangela ranks higher than Anette in my book, though.) Keepers: Year of the Rat, Protection, The Passing, and Exile. IMO Tristania does better when the songs get shorter.
There are only 2 original Tristania members left and it shows. The new members lack talent. Mariangelas voice is not good. The best song (and only one on this album that might be worth downloading) is Exile, however every single song on previous Tristania albums is better. Tristania used to be my favorite band, not any more.
