The video was well made, the music was their general standard, not their best but good, the song was ok but they don't sound so unique or special anymore imo, her voice bores me and grates on me in places. When I heard Eva I hoped that the next song would be much better or that her vocals would grow on me, but they haven't, it doesn't sound like it can be as strong as their music can be. I would have preferred a stronger voice, it didn't need to be operatic, but definitely stronger.
I happened to feel like I wasn't listening to a Nightwish song while the video was being played. I don't mean Anette is a bad singer, but I somewhat miss their older stuff after listening to this song.
As for the video, it achieves its purpose acceptably...

Yes I agree, I do miss Tarja.. Anette does an excellent job with "The Poet And The Pendulum" though, that's definitely almost as good as "Ghost Love Score".
