Editorial Reviews

NARNIA - Course of a Generation + Bonus track - North American version only / UPC: 734923006244 / Cat # NMR-532 / STREET DATE Oct 13th / Genre - Swedish Melodic Power Metal THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING.... Truly a brilliant album not to be missed. This power metal band blends in tasty technicality never going over the top with flash, keeping the song as the main focus and delivering the power, drive and super strong melodies and chorus hooks. Narnia is a name people should recognize in metal, this band has been around since 1997 and had six previous releases, on some of Europe's largest metal record labels. Members of the group have been in Rob Rock, DivineFire, Stormwind, E-type, Planet Alliance, Saviour Machine, Minds Eye just to mention a few. New vocalist Germán Pascual is quite a vocalist and fits this band amazingly well, their sound has developed. Highest rating, mandatory for a metal head. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best release to date, August 5, 2009

This review is from: Course Of A Generation (MP3 Download)

I've been a Narnia fan since 1999 and I think this is their best record to date. I admit that I was originally drawn to Grimmark's Yngwie-esque shredding, but I'm glad he's developed his own style. It would be very difficult to pin the 'Yngwie Clone' label on him these days. CJ has developed into a world-class guitarist in his own right.

Although I like the album overall, the songs tend to sound a bit too much alike. However, that could be said about many metal acts and albums.

I do wish there were a little more guitar solo work. Grimmark seems to have held back in that department for some reason. Maybe for the sake of the song as a whole?

Overall, this is a worthy record and should be on any melodic/progressive metal fan's short list.

Rock on!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life after singer change?, January 23, 2010

Narnia with a new singer? How will that sound? Well, I will say....AMAZING! This album sounds different in many respects from previous releases, and not just vocally. There is more grit and aggressiveness musically, complimenting the new vocalist, which while still melodic, is a bit more brash, metallic and powerful in nature. Changing lead singers can break a band's following, but Narnia has bounced back in a new and powerful way, sure to please all fans of melodic euro-metal. ([...])

Narnia is a great band. I have all their albuns and I like all of them. My surprise - when I thought that CD was ending, a new song started playing - bonus track. Very good CD.
