With regard to Jorn's musical output...

[Oblivion Ocean]

I got through about 30 seconds.

"We're on a mission for the rock
This music carousel will shake and shock you"

I stand by my earlier statement.

I don't listen to Jorn for the lyrical brilliance, I listen for the VOICE!

I don't expect to him to be Neil Peart, but you have to have some standards

My rule with lyrics is that I will put up with mediocre lyrics if the performances or overall song are amazing. But the lyrics cannot be so poor that they detract from the overall product. For me, singing about "the rock" and then rhyming it with "shock" falls into that category. But to each their own.

Don't listen to much rock and metal then, do you?

I agree completely. Same reason I can't listen to Ripper's solo stuff, Beyond Fear, worst lyrics ever. Some bands can pull off bad lyrics and still work and some just make you cringe- Metallica's St. Anger is a good example, when I heard that I thought my five year could have written better lyrics.

If Jorn released a new cd titled, "Jorn Reads The Yellow Pages", I'd still buy it...

 

[DustyV]

Read the lyrics to "soulburn" from Masterplan. Not sure if Jorn wrote those or not, but some of the best poetic lyrics I've ever heard!!!

 

[SeaStorm]

Here's the thing: the lyrics in that single are cheesy and unimpressive (as are those in most songs that are "about" rock or "about" metal). However, two days later, I am still singing the chorus throughout the day as I go about my business. It's damn fine sounding!

 

[VenomGA]

already have this on a pre-sale, just waiting on it to be delivered in a couple of weeks

I like Jorn but this is a boring song and video. A big disappointment.

Video is indeed boring but the song rocks.

 

[Harvester]

Am I the only one that thinks Jack & Kyle would rock the shit out of "Bring Heavy Rock to the Land?" It's like Jorn wrote it specifically for Tenacious D.

"Raise the metal sign...."

Oh yes....oh yes.

The whole album could be a Tenacious D record, to me his lyrical metaphors are that cheesy and poorly written throughout. i gave it once listen and put on one of his older albums. hahahaha. this new one will never get played again.
