这张《Wishmaster》是他们的第三张专辑，发行于2000年，也是风格发生重大变化并引起广大拥趸争议的一张专辑。
女声主唱Tarja用一种很纯粹的古典唱腔和乐队激昂暴烈的鼓点、吉他交织在一起，带来了非同一般的冲击力。唱片的封面也是很有特点：血色黄昏中，一队天鹅从湖面上起飞。岸边，一个小男孩满怀期望的张开了双臂……
专辑中第二首The Kinslayer（应该是译作家族杀手吧）。同时它也是到目前为止听到的四张Nightwish作品中最喜欢的一首了。这首曲子的整体节奏比较快，前奏也相当有特色。而主音则是在For whom the gun tolls的置疑声中开始了她的演唱。一开始并不觉得有什么，直到键盘手Tumoas的声音也加入了进来后，整个歌曲产生了质的变化。一问一答的形式下，尽现了Nightwish的音乐魅力。尤其那句"Not a hero unless you die. Our species eat the wounded ones"更是一语道尽了世态的炎凉。

Balance is the 10th studio album by the American hard rock band Van Halen. It was released in 1995 and, to date, is the fourth and final Van Halen album of all-new material featuring lead singer Sammy Hagar. It was also a more complete divergence from their earlier, more heavy metal sound. It has the hard rock elements of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, mixed with the dark and somber themes from OU812. Although the album was mostly made at 5150 Studios, Van Halen spent three weeks at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver. Originally, the title of the album was to be named Seventh Seal.
Van Halen started work on the album in May 1994. The recording was finished and the mixing started in September 1994. The album would be finished in October 1994, just three months before its release.
