Mother Earth (December 4, 2000)

A little contradiction, you put the German Ice Queen single on and the Dutch Mother Earth single. The Dutch Ice Queen shouldn't be forgotten - it has the demos of Caged and Ice Queen (Believer).

Did I forget? I was just taking the info from the official site. I'll add the demos to the other B-Sides part

Nice work... I'm impressed

These are really just threads to discuss the particular albums, but I thought I'd put all the info (or as much as I know anyway) out there at the start to get the ball rolling. I'm totally knackered now though, Hahaha

Whoa. Martijn Westerholt left 'cause of Mono? Damn.

Must get those bonus tracks

Wonder who gave it to him

Mother Earth is my most listened to album ever. It also makes me happy no matter what.

My 3rd favorite album, but only by slightly because my two favorite songs of WT are on this album.

Mother Earth 5/5
Ice Queen 5/5
Our Farewell 4.5/5
Caged 4.5/5
The Promise 5/5
Never-ending Story 5/5
Deceiver of Fools 5/5
Intro 4/5
Dark Wings 5/5
In Perfect Harmony 4.5
Bittersweet 5/5
World Of Make Believe 3.5/5

The Mother Earth Intro is amazing. I'm still baffled (haha) everyday by the fact people dont like it that much/

It's my ringtone

How I love the Mother Earth album

Some of the very first stuff I heard was Mother Earth I was perpetually hooked by the earthy tone of the music and the magic I found in it. I still love this album but in my heart it still doesn't beat TSF.

Mother Earth and THOE are Sharon's favourite albums, apparently

OMS me and Sharon have something in common!

Anyhow... that Within Temptation Bashfest sounds fun. Too bad it's not on the German release.

Hahaha, yeah I want to play it too...it should be put on the 10th anniversary release

Methinks WT should release it again with everything on it. I keep noticing stuff I don't have on it and it's bother me.

They should Although I am planning on trying to buy all the Mother Earth's eventually. That is when I have money seeing as learning to drive costs loads I need ME more though

Oooh I'll just put them on my Gothic Christmas list

This has to be one of my favourite albums i listen to it every day!

I listen to ME everyday too. Just makes me happy

Mother Earth is my all-time favourite WT album.
It makes a story to me personally... song by song. Just like a fairytale.
Music is just epic, a lot of varieties. The same with Sharon's voice, just compare Caged and The Promise with Our Farewell and In Perfect Harmony for example...
Great balance between the songs.

And Sharon's dresses during the ME era were just fabulous!!

I love that you said ME reminded you of a fairytale! I tried to explain this album to someone like that once and they just looked at me like I had three heads.
