Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Little sign of the power to come but some interesting tales nonetheless
Having heard this album a number of times over it's sad to say it's not really lodged in my head at all. Certainly the most meek and mild of the Nightwish albums it has some lovely aspects musically such as The Carpenter which rides an interesting combination of melody and instrumentation and also Nymphomaniac Fantasia and an album with some very interesting lyricisms. Actually interesting is probably a polite way of saying that the English as second language issue was most pronounced here than perhaps ... Read More
Rating: - Relatively bad, but they improved so much..
Their classic, Oceanborn, comes right after this one. This is just a medicore album. If youre a new fan, stay away! Your money is better spent on the 5 other albums.
Rating: - A Good Debut, But Their Best Comes Later...
I am the proud owner of five Nightwish CDs, all of which I love. I must say however that Angels Fall First is my least favorite of the five.

Rating: - A fine debut, but be mindful of your expectations.
With reasonable expectations, a Nightwish fan should thoroughly enjoy a listening of this album.

One should also not expect to hear the amazing production quality found on the Once record. Those who complain about these aspects are clearly ignorant about the natural progression of a great band.
A true fan of NW SHOULD own this record, and treasure ... Read More
Rating:  - A bad start for an otherwise fantastic band
If you want to know what exactly Angels Fall First sounds like, let me offer you the following scenario. Combine Wishmaster and Century Child, strip off the bass and half the keyboards, add in some of Simone Simon's extremely forced vocals from Epica and Tuomas's flat tenor, and throw it all into a car crash. That is what Angels Fall First sounds like. I was very disappointed with this first album, especially considering how incredible their other albums were. The two best songs (meaning four out of five stars) ... Read More
