I agree fully with CarrierOfEchoes. These two newest ones are peculiar things. They are growers if any albums ever were. That, and you don't even remember how good they are until you listen to them. They are not so underliningly traditional pagan/folk Turisas as those two first albums, but they are... somehow grandiose in their own right. Very different. They seem to get better and better when you listen to them again and again. The material is not mainly catchy or otherwise memorable, but damn is it good when you get into it! Just today I realized how epic song End of an Empire is, for instance. You discover new things with these albums every time.

Well, I know, taste is different, but if I have a look at The Varangian Way which was an excellent piece of music and which also included both elaborate and epic lyrics, I really have to say, it's mindblowing that Stand Up And Fight managed to reach at least the same level. It is definitely a consequent evolution (which is a neutral statement) and they do an overwhelmingly great job going on with what they've begun on their preceding CD.

Just finished reading the 'Viking' series by Tim Severin. I think I found where Nygard got his inspiration.... the last two books are hugely similar to the story in The Varangian Way and Stand Up And Fight.

Gods this is amazing. I love just how much Andrew Lloyd Webber-esque ridiculousness Nygard is putting into his songwriting, it's like listening to 'Vikings - The Musical'

Favourite of 2011, maybe my favourite ever. Just awesome. But you need to listen to it at leat 4-5 times to realise how good is this record.
