One reply? wow. I am also looking forward to this. Very good band keeping power metal... good.

Sounds pretty good. I've only heard their first 2 albums. I never really bothered with Grime vs Grandeur because I saw a lot of poor reviews.

Its not great. The third album was good, but I'm glad Mattias is back. Its just a shame they had to treat Kriss Gobel so shoddily to do so.

There are a few good tracks on Grime vs Grandeur, power and the opener for example. I think the review here was overly harsh, its not a bad album at all.

Power is the worst thing on the album!

I agree its got some very good songs such as Purgatory Time (Its purgatory tiiiiiiime!) and Child of the Wild, but there are a few real clunkers. I count Power and the third track....whats it called again.....Snowy Shaw plays on it......among them.

One of the biggest problems was that the lyrics took a complete nosedive. Falconer tackles SOCIAL ISSUES!
-Don't do drugs!
-Don't screw around without protection!
And two or three songs about your girlfriend being a bitch are not power metal!

All that said, I don't think the album is too bad.

really?? haha, i think powers a pretty dam good song. Track three is called I Refuse I think. But i really hope falconer get back on track with this new one, while i don't think Grime vs Grandeur wasn't a bad album its still nowhere near the first two.

So far the teaser sounds like it picks up right where it left off with "Chapters From A Vale Forlorn". I'm really looking forward to this! :lol:

I think it reminded more of their debut self-titled album, but nevermind, it's good to hear Mathias back behind the microphone. The leadvocals seems to be pushed back in the production, though I'm sure it's due to the quality of the MP3.

nothing? not even a titter? oh well...

stuartn15ted · **Posted:** Fri Aug 18, 2006 7:12 pm

I'm half way through now. Hmmmm, really not sure about this one, i'll reserve judgment until i heard it all the way a few times but atm it feels like a chore listening this far, but maybe i'm just not in the mood for Falconer right now.
