Shit, after all my initial negative comments when samples were released, I'm actually quite liking this Nordic Union. Purchased it with the Avantasia and PF just cause it was $20 and really had no expectations from it at all. It's obvious recycled, thoughtless, generic material, but fuck, I'm liking it. At least one song a bit more epic or out of the box would have been appreciated instead of just 11, four minute rehashes, but it is what it is. Production is good and Ronnie sounds great, and makes it much more enjoyable. And there's no real bad or cringe worthy songs which keeps it strength throughout. I wouldn't give it the ratings it's been getting but enjoyable if you can get past the blatant rehashing.
