An amazing epic adventure.......2006-08-06

I don't know where to start. Well, don't listen to this before part 1 ofcourse. This is as amazing as it gets, I mean it, it is pure EPIC. It gives me goosebumps non-stop. The atmosphere of this cd is something else. The only word to describe this cd is "WOW"! It opens up a portal to a world of beautiful vast landscapes, mystical theories and viking battles. Nordland part 1 and 2 are a really amazing cd set to own. The fidelity of the overall sound quality is so out of this world, yet it makes the listener feel so at home.

IF YOU ARE INTO EPIC TALES, DRAGONS, VAST MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES, THEN BUY THIS AND PART 1, IT WILL BE YOUR FAVOURITE CD'S FOR A VERY LONG TIME, I PROMISE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE WITH A TASTE FOR REAL MUSIC.

Wake me when it's over..........2005-08-03

Naida Cole. Leif Ove Andsnes. Yundi Li. Lang Lang. My neighbor's 17-year-old kid. Classical piano is getting more faceless than ever. Where are the big names, the people who play five bars and you say, "Why, that's....!" I can tell Arrau or Horowitz or Cziffra or Gilels in fifteen seconds. With the present pianist, I'm lucky if I'm still awake after fifteen seconds.

I don't get all the fuss about Andsnes. I really think most of today's classical "stars" are PR-driven creations. This one is, at any rate. He plays almost all the works in these two discs the same, with zero color, zero phrasing, zero individuality. The piano sounds pretty much the same, whether the work be Haydn or Shostakovich. (Listen to Glenn Gould playing works by Byrd, Gibbons and Sweelinck and hear how he manages to suggest the sonority of a harpsichord on a piano. Amazing!) Andsnes avoids contrasts, he avoids abrupt changes in tempo, he avoids inserting his personality into the works, he avoids finding personality--charm, irony, detachment, amusement, even just simple joy--in the works. Admittedly, some of the compositions here are so obscure I cannot really comment on them, because I've never heard them before, am unfamiliar with the composers and don't have comparisons for listening. But for the works that I have heard, you can get a more interesting Grieg Concerto by Zimerman/Karajan (But who'd want to? It's a pretty vapid piece.), a far better Haydn Concerto by Richter if you can find it (it's a shame this witty work--and believe me, in better hands it is witty and it's not amateurishly *rushed*--isn't better-known), a more charming Haydn B minor sonata by Ax--by AX, for crying out loud!, and with him you get the whole thing and not just the second and third movements--and a better Janacek sonata by Firkusny. A better Grieg Op. 43 No.1 can be found by Gilels. A better Brahms Intermezzo, the disc's biggest joke, can be found anywhere--try behind the sofa. The Rachmaninoff is one of the better moments--here, recordings by Demidenko, Horowitz and Rachmaninoff himself didn't exactly blow me away in comparison. (If I have others I can't find them right now.) The Shostakovich Trumpet thingie is surpassed by Jansons and the Berlin Philharmonic, for just one. Some of the smaller works I don't know, but if they have their Norwegian charm, Andsnes doesn't bring it out here. Listen to this disc, and you'll go away with the very popular myth that classical music is this ultra-polished, tidy stuff that's good to have on in your car for your morning commute when you can't get NPR. But you won't have the sound of a thinking pianist, or one who seems to understand the music he's playing.

Quorthon goes out with a solid album........2005-01-28

In my opinion, Bathory are one of the most influential and underrated bands in the history of metal. Unfortunately, this will probably be the last Bathory album to be released. As most fans have found out by now, Quorthon, literally the heart and soul of Bathory, died this past year. Bathory is basically a one man show, with Quorthon doing all of the vocals and instruments. On June 6 of 2004, we lost a brilliant musician, and more importantly, a great man. One of the pioneers of black and viking metal, he will be missed. R.I.P. Ace Börje Forsberg.

Onto the album. All I can say is, if you liked the first Nordland album, you'll probably enjoy this one as well. Believe it or not, "Nordland I" was actually my first venture into the viking metal genre. But after hearing my first Bathory song, I knew this would be a genre that I would love (and it has. Since then, I've become a fan of many other viking-related bands, such as Vintersorg).

A very epic album, "Nordland II" features some beautiful clean vocals, great leads (actually, all of the instruments are played to perfection), and everything else you would love from a Bathory album. The band has changed it's sound through the years (many believe that most of the Bathory albums from the 90's are crap), but judging from the two Nordland albums, it seems that Quorthon was back to making solid albums. We can only imiagine what kind of exceptional albums he would have released had he not passed away.

Quorthon.......2004-07-11

Unfortunately this will be the last album and of course it is great as always.
