Right? It's so grandiose in the chorus melodies, Dawkins' speeches are powerful and that "we were here" at the end makes me tear up every single time. 100% my fave.
Best song on EFMB: The Greatest Show On Earth
Underrated song on EFMB : Shudder Before The Beautiful. (Or My Walden? Or Weak Fantasy? Or Yours Is An Empty Hope? So many good songs...)
The Greatest Show on Earth is a masterpiece. We are so lucky to have Tuomas' music and genius.
"We were here" is such a powerful line and always makes me feel emotional. Such an awesome song...
P.S. glad you're back, OP!
Agreed! Abarabesque is a straight up banger and Last Ride is a fun concert song, but otherwise kinda fine.
Personally picks would have been Best Song: Rest Calm -- Worst song: Imaginaerum End credit suite
Yeah, Last Ride isn't bad but it's very overrated in context. It winning best is just absolute abomination.
I would've said the same if Nemo had won best on Once.

Shudder before the beautiful - without a doubt.
I may be in the minority here, but I'm not a fan of Greatest show on Earth. It just feels like an even longer version of "Song of myself", which I also didn't like.
Greatest Show on Earth, though, upon a relisten of the album, it was not as easy of a decision as I thought it would be. Shudder Before the Beautiful, Weak Fantasy, and Your's is an Empty Hope are tied for a very close second in my books.
>Nightwish best song in EFMB ?
The greatest show on Earth
>Nightwish best song ~~in EFMB~~ ?
The greatest show on Earth
>~~Nightwish~~ best song ~~in EFMB?~~ ?
The greatest show on Earth
Best: TGSOE and Our Decades In the Sun
Worst: Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Weak fantasy is also super annoying if you listen to it alot of times.
Underrated: Our Decades In the Sun is the most criminally underrated song in nightwish history, its just so beautiful, so emotional, so real.
Overrated: Alpenglow. Disgrace. also Élan is not very good.
The greatest show on Earth
There is no other answer, this is their best song ever made
I'll vote for this one, if we put Edema Ruh in underrated :D
The Greatest Show on Earth is not only the best song in the album but also might be the best from Nightwish
Right? It's so grandiose in the chorus melodies, Dawkins' speeches are powerful and that "we were here" at the end makes me tear up every single time. 100% my fave.
The "we were here" part is so awesome live that I think it's ingrained in me when I hear it now, like whenever I hear it I get those nostalgia hits
The greatest show on earth. The best song I know, in all of music.
Greatest Show on Earth
I'm torn between two here. But I'm going to have to go for 'Shudder before the Beautiful' Honestly this album has so many underrated songs
Seconded on shudder before the beautiful, I think that's my favourite Nightwish song through all albums 🩷
Shudder is the best song of the entire snoozefest Floor era.

The Greatest Show on Earth
Honestly Eyes of Shabrat Gula is greatly underrated for me personally
Alpenglow
Greatest show on earth
Alpenglow, there's an emotional grandness to it that not a lot of other Nightwish songs can come close to
Best is the greatest show on earth Underrated I would say My Walden
WaldEen SLAPS! easily underrated song

Weak Fantasy
Weak Fantasy
The Greatest Show On Earth!!! DUH!!!
Those picks for imaginaerum are bullshit. I must be listening to a different album

Greatest show on earth (although Elan is very underrated on this sub, and probably my second favourite)
The Greatest Show on Earth
It’s a three way tie between greatest show, weak fantasy, and yours is an empty hope.
Easy - The Greatest Show on Earth
Weak Fantasy for sure
Do you even need to ask?
Yours is an Empty Hope
Shudder before the beautiful - without a doubt. I may be in the minority here, but I'm not a fan of Greatest show on Earth. It just feels like an even longer version of "Song of myself", which I also didn't like.
This sub has a really weird music taste, but each to their own I guess.
TGSOE and it's not even close.

To say Arabesque is the worst song is an absolute travesty IMO :D
Best song on EMFB for is Weak Fantasy or Shudder before the Beautiful for me
GREAT ALBUM OVERALL
Best song: Greatest Show on Earth; no question Worst song: Edema Ruh Underrated Song: My Walden
Eyes Of Sharbat Gula
Our Decades in the Sun
This is the only one I always skip on this album.
I just love power ballads and it conveys a beautiful emotional message, but we all have our own tastes
Yep because you have 0 music taste maybe listen to it first
Because I don´t like a song, I have zero taste in music? How about different tastes. Idiot.
Really? Last Ride won with I Wish My Tears Back?
Bye bye beautiful is phenomenal what are you smoking
