In the chorus, emotion claims the fore in her powerful voice. Jansen caresses the lyric accompanied by swirling keyboards, pipes, and furious downstroke guitar and bassline until the world breaks open before her. "How's The Heart" commences with thundering guitars, symphonic drums and full-bodied synths before ushering in one of Holopainen's more graceful melodies. She is accompanied by a rubbery bassline, forceful piano crescendoes, blastbeat tom toms, and bass voiced chorale. The single "Noise" is killer though it is a bit of an outlier: Jansen, possessed of one of the largest ranges in rock, channels the band's original vocalist Tarja Turunen here ecstatically. It explodes with chugging, crunchy guitars and drums with Jansen framed by choral singers and a stinging six-string solo from guitarist Emppu Vuorinen. Through the bridge it flirts with crossover classical and cinema music with lovely lyric hooks, synth strings and piano.

Originally, Tarja Turunen wasn’t into metal at all. At that time the band had three members: Tuomas, Tarja, and Emppu.

The first three songs, which were acoustic mood music, were recorded between October and December 1996. The idea of Nightwish was born in July 1996 at midnight when Tuomas Holopainen was spending a night with his friends around a campfire.
