I'm happy to hear Annette blends better this time around. I was rather pro-Tarja after hearing the last album. I'm not happy to hear Marco is singing more. I don't think he's anything special, and I enjoy hearing female singers. State-side, there aren't many (rock) bands with women in them, so I end up listening to stuff like Nightwish, WT, Lacuna Coil, etc.
I don't think Marco is being overused in this album. I counted a total of 6 tracks from Imaginaerum that have Marco singing. That's the same number of tracks from Dark Passion Play with Marco singing. For Once and Century Child, both albums have 5 tracks with Marco in it.

I only have the one Within Temptation album, btw -- the most recent, The Unforgiving. I think it's awesome; found out about the band through Guitar Hero when they released "What Have You Done Now?" Any recommendations on where to go next?
I guess you should go with "The Silent Force" album next.
