 Land (CD/DVD) by Tyr
Submitted on: 2008-08-25 |

Tyr's CD/DVD combination is very interesting, since several of the songs are based on old Viking legends. Even though I don't speak Faroese (the dialect of Old Norse that they sing in) I know enough of the stories to follow along. Only two things disappointed me: first, the DVD of Regen Smithur (Regen the Smith) was from a live performance & not the one taped at a Viking battle reenactment, & second, (this is minor) the cover art is backwards! Viking ships ALWAYS had the rudder mounted on the right side of the hull, but they show it on the left.

 Not bad at all

| Tyr fourth studio album shows crearly that the band has a sound and a niche from which they will not stray out. The combination of metal and Nordic folk makes them a very unusual band and a true viking metal one. Although my preferred one is "Eric The Red" and this one lack at least one catchy song (like 'Valhalla' in "Ragnarok") is commendable the effort put in the music and the interesting fact that only the two long songs 'Ocean' and 'Land' are in English while the rest is all in Faroese, which to me is part of the appeal of the band. |

 Very Underrated Band

| If you are a fan of Ragnarok and Eric the Red, this album is a further progression from those albums. The songs are a little more polished, but still the band you love. If you are not familiar with Tyr, this is a great starting point, as these are among the most accessible songs the band has released yet. I love this band! |

A Gift From Valhalla!!!

| So, I have been waiting a while for this album to be released, and that time has finally come! And let me tell you, it was worth the wait! This album is great, the music flows perfectly throughout the album, and although it is an amazing album, it has one flaw for me... There are only 4 tracks on the entire album that have English vocals in them; Oceans, Brennivin, Land, and Hail to the Hammer. However Oceans is a 10 minute epic and Land is a 16 minute Epic, so, the total track time of the English songs takes up about the half the album anyways, which is what really won me over! Plus it comes with a live DVD with a great set list. So if you are a fan of Týr's previous records, I highly recommend this one. Also, the album art and design of the album are just awesome, my favorite Týr product yet. Congrats to another great album! All Hail Valhalla!!! |

same problem with the download. The problem is not just with Amazon.com. I checked another site and the tracks on there were the promotional tracks also. I contacted Napalm Records directly and informed them of the problem. The only question is how do you know if or when the correct files have been uploaded?
As far as the actual music this is another masterpiece from TYR! If you liked their previous albums you will definitely enjoy this one. The five stars are for the music but the promo tracks are a huge mistake by the record label! |
