Dark Passion Play by Nightwish --- I just hope it isn't the most expensiveone ever sold. :?

Also, that Tarja's huge footprints are properly filled.

Well, I Googled and Googled but I couldn't find the article I read once that claimed Rufus Wainwright's Poses cost about $750,000 to produce. Eh, it doesn't matter, since this is the most expensive album ever produced ~ http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/06/arts/music/06leed.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all&position=&oref=slogin

Dark Passion Play is kinda wreched, unfortunately.... >.< I really wanted to like it, and I like some of the songs in the first half, but Annette's mostly-terrible voice and the presence of that song "The Islander" made it more or less a disaster. I could get into details, but...yeah...
