Where can I
get the CD?
Narnia - The great fall of man |
|
Before I got saved my parents bought Narnia's CD to me. (actually they bought it for christmas present but I went to the metal
store and bought and copy myself, so I had two of them) I can admit that I was pushed away by the lyrics and I did not get the music by then.
But now some 5 years later I consider their debut to me a pretty descent CD, which returns to my cd-player contiuesly.
As you perhaps know I loved Desert land, it was a power filled metal album, so I was wondering what were they going to do now, because rumours had told me that they were going progressive and that had made me happy, cause I consider myself to be a progressive metal head. The other thing that had delighted me was that noone else than Eric Clayton (Saviour Machine) was going to participate on a track. So the day I got the cd was a good day, I had at least been waiting for the day. So what happend? I played the CD a couple of times, and to my huge dissapointments I was unhappy. Not that the music was bad but the talent of good songwriting seemed to had dissapeard. At least that was my thougts. But after a couple of days things started to happend, I realize that the music was smarter than I was :-). It just took some time to understand the depth of it! And now, months afterwards I consider this to be one of the most pleasant surprises this year, melodic progressive metal with a symphonic edge to it. The production is almost perfect (still not perfect) and there many highlights here to mention; from the emotional "back from hell again" to the gigantic last track (featuring a choir and Eric). So go and get this, and give it some times because it is not a "listen to it once and love it" album, it's far more intelligent than that! |
