Pop-metal 
well...I wouldn't say that....trust me....they still have to work to become "pop metal".....
I indeed think this album is very well done....nothing to be disappointed about....and every song has its power and energy..... |

|
|
| i agree with you, this is slowly becomign one of my favorite albums of all time period. |
|

|
| Great album, one of the best of 2006 no questions asked. Took me a while to grow onto but its definitly a step up from 'Fate Of Norns' which was also a great album. |

Good review.
"a listener will certainly not find a boring moment in this album"
I agree with you. This album is fantastic, powerfull and especially varied.
A big masterpiece and the best death metal album in 2006.
And the artwork is very well-kept at least for the limited edition (that I have buy) |

I love Amon Amarth. I own every album and this is deffiently one of my favorites. Its deffiently up there with "Once Sent From The Golden Hall". I really loved the harmonizing solo in "Valhall Awaits Me". The first time I heard it, it really took me by surprise. Amon Amarth had been able to, before come up with solos that kicked just as much ass as more techy/melodic stuff by other bands, in songs like "Ride For Vengence", "North Sea Storm," "Releasing Surtur's Fire," "Death In Fire" and "A Fury Divne" they pulled off stuff that I can honestly say I've heard no other band done before, let alone well. They simply re-established there place on the Swedish Death Metal scene. Johan's vocals are so good too. He does a great mix and contrast between the lower growls and the higher screams. The vocals seem more stable too, more audible almost. Overall, amazing band, amazing album

Well said. With Oden On Our Side really "stepped up to the plate" in the Viking Metal genre. Great album. |

|
|
| If this wasnt 2006's best album I don't know what was. I really loved this album. I remember I liked it from the first time I put it on my cd player. |

| Excellent review for a fantastic band my friend. Great things are going to happen for these boys with their next release, I can feel it. With Oden On Our Side is an epic offering and these guys are really starting to deliver the metal goods. Keep up the good work Amon Amarth!!! |
|
|
|
| I like this album more than other albums of Amon Amarth, because of their fantastic lyrics. The music of the band is a good as before albums (of course it's improved). But the lyrics are a real epic. The best example for lyrics is Black-Birds Cry!! That's nice! |

What can I say about this band other than the fact that these boys can play? There's something really catchy about the Swedes, and I think I've finally nailed it. It's the melodies and harmonies littered throughout their music on every single cd regardless of speed or musical complexity. The guitar work is really something special here with one taking turns at melody and the other strumming along beautifully providing depth in rhythm. This pattern is somewhat carved in stone with Amon Amarth at this point, and it's something you can easily associate with this band. The harmonies and melodies are ceaseless, but the hook is that it's still raw, in-your-grill metal. Between the relentless picking, the driving double-bass or the heartfelt growl from hell, Amon Amarth are providing on a large scale at this point.
I can't stress enough how much these boys have impressed me as a musician and moreover a heavy metal fan, granted I only discovered Amon Amarth whence they released With Oden On Our Side which was much later in their careers. I think things are finally starting to happen for this band and their futures in the music industry are pretty much solidified at this point. We get the theme. We get the music. We dig the whole package. As long as they keep producing metal from the heart they'll stand the test of time. Most metal bands don't. |

|
|
| That album deserves a straight 10! The best release by Amon Amarth. Perfect production, fast or more melodic songs.. The reason why Amon Amarth is now a band with worldwide fame. |

| Good haha. Seeing as everyone seems to like it it seems fair to buy it |

|
|
| yeh, well its definately one of my favourite albums of all time! pure perfection... |

There two points of view for this album.
The first point would be the point of the mainstream metalhead, the second one - of a metalhead that is more into music and metal at all. For the first ones the album is perfect ("This album kicks some fucking asses! It's got power, it's got melody, it's got might"). The riffs are very melodic, you can sing allong with the singer.
A metalhead who likes metal and who rates metal as metal , would say, that is album is boring. The constructions of all songs are similiar to each other, this album is not technical. And it is not really very aggressive.
So... there are two marks: 10/10 and 6/10. |

| Well done review, for a wicked album. |
|
|

It seem as catchy as ''Fate of Norns'', but the real album that gets musically closer to this one is ''Once Sent From the Golden Hall'' (as it is said in the review).
This kind of heavy/melodic/viking themed catchiness makes this album one of the best of the band alongside with its brother ''Once Sent From the Golden Hall', plus this album presents the best vocal work on Amon Amarth. |

I love this! All the tacks are the best of amon amarth, except prediction of warface and hermonds ride to hell 
I listened this for the first time in an video of spongebob (i added the video to metal storm, funny stuffs - videos), then i searched more songs, and every song was from this album! 
Now, i am a big fan of AA.... Hail Johan! 
( And With oden on our side don't assemble Once Sent From The Golden Hall not even a bit!  ) |

|
| Metal perfection is heard on this album. |
