The cover looks like a direct to DVD fantasy film. In fact, I've come up with a (really dumb) scenario. Liv Kristine and Alexander Krull are the king and queen of some far off mystical land. The man next to them is a protector of some kind and is a leader of like, the knights or some shit. The dude in the cloak (I am really bad at names sometimes) is obviously an evil wizard, and the goth chick is his lover. The guy next to them is forced to serve them somehow, but will turn to the good side at some point. The viking ships are the evil wizard dude's army closing in on Liv and Alexander's kingdom. Who will prevail in this oncoming epic battle? I have no fucking clue, but the album's pretty good.

Since Vinland Saga is one of my favourite albums, I was worried that Leaves' Eyes might change their style or not make an album anywhere near as good. But the only difference is that there are more male vocals and it is more epic. I'm not a fan of the male vocals, but being epic is obviously a good thing.

I've come to realize that my main problem with this album is its lack of any kind of conclusion... it just sort of ends. Maybe it would help if we knew the words to the spoken part of Froya's Theme, but still, musically it just doesn't feel like a conclusion. It would be nice if the next album complements Njord as a sort of second half of a whole :)

I wonder if anyone knows who's done the mixing/mastering on this album? A grossly sickening overuse of over-compression/limiting...Utterly squashed, flat and heavily clipped....distorted, terrible production sorry...This needs to be remastered (amongst many, many others), is it going to be remastered? I am really utterly fed up of the cursed destructinve Loudness Wars...Beautiful music destroyed by crappy mastering, just real sad!....*sigh* :(

Sooooo basically, I think that in the first week after getting this album, I listened to it more than I listened to either previous album in the first *year* after I got them. XD Now it's so familiar that playing it again is already like listening to an old favorite. Njord wins at all times and places. :)

"song that Nightwish would play"?! I will try not to vomit... Why was this necessary to say again?! :S This is Leaves' Eyes, no Nightwish, it smells like comparing. Anyway, back to the album: I was a bit disappointed after first listening, I confess. After second listening I say they did a great job but it will take some more listenings to get "used to it". It's strange, but sometimes I can't "accept" the whole thing so easily. But I'm sure I'm gonna love it very much, because the songs are impressive (especially Ragnarok as I hear it now...) and Liv sounds awesome. <3 I don't really understand why people say her voice is poor or terrible... It's only different from everybody else and THAT makes Leaves' Eyes' sound so special :P
