Newest Review: ... and solitude that are not dissimilar to the work of 19th century Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, best known to black ... more  ... metal fans through Burzum's use of his work for album covers including 'Hvis lyset Tar Oss'.
'Forgotten Legends' consists of a handful of melancholy, drawn-out tracks, comparable both to Burzum, with their raw, sad, ancient sounding riffs and simplistic structure, and Primordial, in their epic, lengthy, droning nature and in their mixed feelings of great sadness and stoic pride.

Good music, wide appeal 
Start and enda bit pop-y and over-produced? Some good old tunes... Some naff dated ones... Great vocals and music, even like the concept None Good if you like chaos, some good music Largely a bit of a mess Great melodic metal tracks Slightly immature at pointsHalflife - Lacuna Coil
A couple of decent songs. All pretty samey.
Catalyst - New Found Glory
A terrific album of bouncy pop punk fun. If you dislike nasal vocal performances then you probably won't like this.
Discouraged Ones - Katatonia
Successful change of direction without losing artistic integrity. Songs tend towards similarity and over-repetition.
In A Reverie - Lacuna Coil
Average gothic doom metal. Still authentic to the genre.
Into The Purple Valley - Ry Cooder
Great Guitar Playing and Interpretation of American Classics Vocals occasionally a bit dodgy
Last Fair Deal Gone Down - Katatonia
Improved instrumentation, tighter focus. Most songs follow the same structure.
Swamplord - Kalmah
Meaner and more reliable equivalent to Children of Bodom. It's still partly a copy-cat act.
Swampsong - Kalmah
Greater range of styles and speeds. Neither extreme is particularly pleasing.
Tha Carter - Lil' Wayne
Great beats. Consistent. Rhymes are weak at times
The Great Cold Distance - Katatonia
Consistent. Very dull and repetitive.
