5 out of 5 stars Rising Force.......2001-08-18

well... this is a Neo-classical cd like Malmsteen's rising force band. dont forget that jens , anders and goran played with malmsteen. Michael Romeo is an amazing guitar player and his work with Symphony X is Amazing. Goran is a great singer and i love his voice. if you are a fan of the early malmsteen cd's (from rising force to fire and ice) this is the cd you have to put in your collection.

4 out of 5 stars Music to burn monasteries to!.......2007-05-01

This is a great album for any fan of classical/power metal. The title track, "The Last Viking," is definitely one of the best songs on the album. "Forest Song," "Winter Battle," and "Alone" are also excellent. As the reviewer before me stated, the emphasis is on keyboard music, which is blended together beautifully with the guitar music, and the vocals are right-on. Definitely pick this one up, Vikings!

4 out of 5 stars I disagree.......2007-04-17

Actualy, I disagree with the previous reviewer that the guitar work was dissapointing. The intent of this album was to showcase the keyboards over the guitarrist. I think that the sound of the album was superb with Jens shwcasing why he is the best keyboardist of this generation. Sometimes I thought I was listening to JS Bach playing shred neoclassical metal. Goran delivers solid vocals. I was expecting more trade off solos between Jens and Michael but with Jens soloing alone is well worth it.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty nice Eurpean classical rock from Johansson brothers.......1999-09-30

I like the music on this cd alot especially with the great vocals of Goran Edman and great keyboard playing from the best Jens Johanson, however the guitar playing was pretty disappointing. Mike Romeo has horrible tone, and doesn't add any beuty to the music with his soloing just shred crap. He is no Yngwie, not even close to the dramatic vibrato and beutiful classical playing of Yngwie malmsteen, that's who should have played guitar on this cd. Overall I like the music composition it's mostly in the vain of Rainbow and Yngwie style with alot of nice classical keyboard playing with a nice touch of Deep Purple style.
