Century Child is the fourth album by Nightwish, released in 2002 by Spinefarm Records.
The album is regarded as Nightwish's largest-effort creation so far, containing orchestral backings, ethereal production (sounding decidedly different from their other albums) and likely the strongest concept album undercurrents the band's catalogue offers.
Spinefarm Records has also released a 2-CD special edition of the album. It includes the CD with copy protection (existence of which isn't mentioned), liner art with the bandmembers' signatures, and a beautiful see-through Video CD containing the music video for their Gary Moore cover of "Over The Hills And Far Away". In addition, you can find a personal code in the booklet which allowed, for a limited time, for you to download three extra tracks ("Nightwish", "The Forever Moments" and "Etiäinen", from a demo the band made while they still were an acoustic project) and the entire album to listen to on your computer.
