New review is up: http://www.royalcarnage.com/Reviews/generalzod/iced%20earth/burden_rev.htm
We've had a few threads on this album previously, but why not start a new one with this review....
Yes! It's amazing how a single moment like that can just blow you to pieces, like those fucking cannon balls flying around.
"Gettysburg" is indeed their best trilogy, and I'll go out on a limb and say it's the best 32 minutes of *pure metal* I've heard from 2004, and quite possibly the best IE material I've heard yet. I don't even listen to disc 1, just because this second disc is too fucking good. That also provides a dilemna for how I'll rate this album at year end.
Good review. Also, might be worth mentioning that "Gettysburg" features an entire philharmonic orchestra....

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As the word "Dead" leaves Tims lips, a decidedly ICED EARTH riff roars through the speakers and marching off we go. There are a fair number of lyrics in this trilogy that just send shivers down my spine
