haha, I thought the same...was quite surprising to see actually...Alestorm definitely have become MUCH better live.
I haven't heard the new TYR CD yet...might have to get it I guess.
They're fun guys to be around, too.
EDIT: haha, I'm stupid....I actually don't have to buy it I think, since I compiled the Tour Sampler I should have it lying around somewhere ...having a look (and another listen)....weird that I can't remember it being that good...perhaps I'm just not a Jacob Hansen Fan....or I've just forgotten that I liked it...I'll find out

not a fan of the production. The vocals are very good though.
The guitars sound muffled without enough pitch definition and the low end of the mix is really boomy

Tyr can do no wrong in my eyes. The new songs up on their myspace rock. Hope to get hold of the album asap.

I just heard the album and what was striking to me, was that almost every vocal take was (at least) 2-octave layered.
That leaves me thinking about alot really. Often, I think my own recorded voice sounds better layered that way always when it comes to metal, but then I assume it must be the incompetent detail of my entry-level gear, because without a high-end preamp and converters, the sound isn't as "full" as it could be..am I wrong?
It probably all boils down to the performance, but it would be cool to hear another sneap-forum opinion as well!

There alot crappier and boring live i gotta say... mainly because vox aren't as epic as on record.
Try and reanact something like the intro to Synklars visa with only 3 dudes on stage

I like it but think it's a little too low-middy for my liking. I prefer Jacob's power metal work though, so that's a given. Overall it's a good album but if they can't pull it off live there's no point. Jacob loves his layered vocals though, for the intro to our album he requested we record another 4 backing harmonies!!
This album kicks ass, I don't care if they can pull it off live or not, since they're never gonna make it to Australia anyway!

Haha we're used to that feeling, aren't we? I feckin love Tyr now - when I first heard Eric The Red a couple of years ago, I didn't appreciate that virtually all the songs were mid-paced, but now I'm not as big a sucker on high tempos as I used to be, and I appreciate the epicness.
