Segue Myles Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Leaves' Eyes- Elegy EP (9/10)Leaves' Eyes- Legend Land EP (9/10)Leaves' Eyes- Vinland Saga (10/10) This was a ridiculously fruitful era for this band. Not only was this a very well received album, but both EP's were at the time massive critical successes and extremely popular with fans. As far as symphonic metal goes, I think Leaves' Eyes are one of the three crowing jewels of the genre, and Vinland Saga is one of the best albums I've ever heard. But there are songs on both EPs that also could have enriched the album, had they chosen to release them as album tracks. (In fact the deluxe edition of Vinland Saga is blessed with two beautiful bonus tracks as well). Leaves' Eyes- Meredead (9/10) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yyz305 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Big fan of the band, but haven't heard this. How is it? It's ok. Has a couple of really good tracks. After the Full Circle tour the band reconvened to record. They ended up recording 19 tracks, coming in at around 95 minutes. Seven of the tracks had the common indigenous/reconciliation etc theme so they took those out and released them as the EP I have listed here. The remaining twelve tracks appear on the newly released Resist album, which is really good. Personally, I would have loved it if they put the few tracks I really like on the EP on the album proper. This would have meant a longer running time (think Vapor Trails - my favourite Rush album - but I know you often quote that as being too long!)
