Great album by an all-time great band!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love these Thin Lizzy remasters from a few years back and have picked up quite a few of them already. Although they're a bit pricey, you get your moneys worth with great sound and packaging as well as an additional CD with many extras.
As for the music itself, if you are a fan then you already pretty much know what you're getting. This one is transitioning into what most would consider their golden age with "Jailbreak" and later, however, is right on the cusp and not quite there. Therefore, if you are first getting into the band, start with "Jailbreak" or "Black Rose." I had a hard time not giving this 5 stars as I love this band but they always kind of had a hard time capturing their edginess on studio recordings—similarly to KISS—and this release is a good example of that. Otherwise, the songwriting and performances are topnotch as to be expected from one of the greatest bands ever!

Absolute Classic, Must Own
on September 15, 2013
Posted by: darklord81
from lombard, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is one of my favorite albums of all-time! Absolute classic! One of my favorite things about Queen was always their diversity which is on full display on this release. Seamlessly transitioning from hard rock, "Death on Two Legs," to beautiful ballads, "Love of My Life," to folk-style, "'39," to epics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Prophet Song." Besides, they always have the quirky tracks like "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon" and "Good Company" which only add another element while continuing the great songwriting apparent throughout. All the performances are stellar! I can't say enough good things about this album!!!
As for the remaster, it seems fine to me, however, I am not absolutely picky with remasters in general and previously was only familiar with the early 90s remaster and thought that version sounded great. However, the DVD 5.1 version does sound really good! Cool digi packaging also which I always prefer over the jewel cases.

classic Dark Tranquillity sound
on July 26, 2013
Posted by: darklord81
from lombard, IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
OK, so this is a really good album by Dark Tranquillity if you are a fan of their classic sound—although their later sound produced more albums. Not as good as "The Gallery" but admittedly that is a really high bar and this is album is really good, nonetheless. If you're only familiar with "Projector" and later Dark Tranquillity—though who hasn't heard "The Gallery" as it is an absolute classic, must have—be prepared as their early sound is dramatically different. You can argue which era is better as I absolutely love some of their later albums such as "Damage Done" and "Fiction," but I would definitely recommend picking up this album and earlier as their more indicative of the early Gothenburg melodic death metal sound, which I absolutely love as one of my favorite metal sub-genres as well as one of my favorite all-time genres! Grab a brew and enjoy!

It's dark tranquility!

Verified Purchase:Yes
There's tranquillity of mind in knowing any time you buy an album from dark tranquillity you're gonna get a quality product. This album continues that trend while showing a slight evolution for which they're known. That's about all that needs to be said: good songwriting, musicianship, performances...!

as always a solid album from Suidakra

Verified Purchase:Yes
Another solid outing for the mighty Suidakra! I believe this is by far the most they've ever incorporated the clean female vocals which I enjoy! However, I continue to miss the unique element that Marcel's clean vocals brought to this band and that would be my only knock on this band's last few albums. Definitely more memorable songs than "Book of Dowth." Epic and unique as always and Suidakra continues to be one of the most consistently good bands in melodic metal!!

Overall pretty good album, solid effort! Adam continues to write catchy songs as he does with Killswitch and there are quite a few to be found on here. Some pretty cool riffs! Really like the positive & uplifting lyrics & message! Make sure to get the digipack as there is an acoustic version of "Willing" that is worth the few extra bucks but I never did yet get around to watching the DVD so I can't comment on that. Also, this is coming from someone who is not a major metalcore fan so it should be a good listen for anyone who enjoys any of the aforementioned qualities in some melodic hard rock/metal.

Can the essential oils be added to the water? In the comparison section for the product it says yes (check mark) but in one of the questions asked the answer given is no. So a bit confused. Refer to the screen shot attached.
