I feel that Nightwish really lost something when Tarja left; there are songs that I quite like in their later catalogue, but there's also a lot more stuff that clearly made the writer happy but left me feeling that it was overwrought. (The Poet and the Pendulum immediately comes to mind.) Epica is getting more consistently good, but there are still songs that I skip on their albums.

Indeed – the Anette era (and perhaps also Once, Tarja's last album) was quite overwrought, but Endless Forms Most Beautiful is perhaps a return towards less-overwrought stuff. IA about there still being songs to skip for both, though.

(Actually, The Poet and the Pendulum could've been a decent song trilogy, if chopped up and edited a bit. I just don't like extended songs that last 10 minutes or more.)
