Well, it is labeled as metal.

7 Days is great, but Poet is more bombastic, has a fabulous intro and a great chorus (k, 7 days has a great chorus too, and I absolutely love that instrumental too). As for Anettes voice, it's good, but there are some songs on that album that cry out for Tarjas voice. Meadows of Heaven eg. Anyway, got tickets for both shows they have in Austria and looking forward to seeing them live again.
Tarja on the other hand should never have added Poison on her CD, her vocals really don't suit the song. Granted, it's still better than the popish/techno version I heard yesterday in the cinema, but nowhere close to the original.
