I'm always quite impressed by the layout of the jackets for Amon Amarth albums, yet there is one thing album after album that drives me crazy, or sends me tearing with laughter as the case may be. I mean, would it kill Amon Amarth to spell check at the very least before printing the lyrics? Having Johan's writing gone over by a guy who has a bit more firm a grasp of english grammar certainly would not hurt either. Although I often find that Scandanavian bands have a far better grasp of the English language than many Americans, Amon Amarth are not exactley alone in their occasional butchery of a tense or just general mispellings. Such errors are not all that abundant, and I can tell from interviews I've read with Johan Hegg that his grasp of English is pretty solid, and the mistakes have most definitely lessened over time, but they are still to be found. Thus, I hereby offer my services in the future to give the lyrics a one-over prior to their going to print. It would be my pleasure, as I'm sure would be true for any native English speaker in here to check out the lyrics and help out the band in this way.
...I hope this wasn't too much of a rant...it's 1:10 in the morning and I'm not even halfway through with a term paper worth 25% of my grade in a class due tomorrow morning.
