Arrived this morning, got the cd + dvd version. Anyway, its pretty good but definitely not their best, nowhere near as good as The Avenger or Once Sent From The Golden Hall
I'll have to download the retail version. The promo version of Fate Of Norns had one of the worst mixes of any promo I've ever heard, and mine was VBR, generally around 250K, so I really don't think it was my particular copy.
I just got it, and I'm listening to it right now. I'm only on the second track, and it's been good so far. But this time it seems like the same music as always, except this time it seems to be lacking passion.
