Varangain Way, The - Turisas > Reviews (2)

This album is awesome. I love all the songs, they are so catchy. And the music is fresh. I first heard Turisas at Download Festival 07. They came out all guns blazing. They LOOKED amazing, SOUNDED amazing and the general feel and life they gave the crowd was AMAZING. I can't believe how much fun they are. Considering they were the first band out, they brought a hell of a lot of energy. And the violin solos were fresh and fantastic. All of their energy, you can tell was brought to the album as well. You can feel them through this album. The only down point is...I dont know if its just my stereo, or the way it was recorded, but I cant hear the violin solos for shit. Not without seriously straining...and even then, its so disappointing after hearing how great this band are at a live festival. I would definitely recommend this album, but simply for the sheer greatness of the band, and to learn the songs...not to listen to the solo's I was expecting to hear. Violin solos. What a revolution!
