4.0 out of 5 stars interesting and heavy, December 31, 2001

By	Dr Nick "Dr Nick" (Sheffield, S Yorks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Jorn Lande is a sickeningly talented singer, who can be anything to any man. Sort of St Peter...... anyway, this is his second solo release, using very talented musicians, self-produced, and mostly co-written with the guitarist.

And Heavier in places than anything I've heard Jorn get up to in his many guises.

The opening track is very Black Sabbath, although Jorn's vocals add an individuality to it. Then Sunset Station comes along, and it's more uptempo, with a clear chorus hook, very nice.

And on it goes. There is a double-bass thrash number (my least favourite cut - too heavy for me), a bluesy ballad, some mid-tempo stuff, all revealing Jorn's many influences whilst highlighting his awesome versatility. In particular his Coverdale influence is apparent (especially on the ballads). I prefer his work with Ark, but this is a good showcase of his talents, and should keep most rock/metal fans happy.

If only it wasn't so short (<45 minutes)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant sound & production, material just falls short, August 21, 2002

By	N. Page (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'd heard some songs from Jorn's debut and in particular enjoyed his cover of 'Edge of the blade' so decided to take the plunge with this, his latest solo CD...vocally the man is a dead ringer for David Coverdale without the annoying mannerisms and a top producer if the sound of this CD is anything to go by... an awesome wall of sound..Most of the songs have fantastic melodies especially the title track ( which I love to scream along to in the car after a particularly hard shift at work ) and the guitarist is inspired. The more thrashy tracks are not quite my cup of tea but even these have sumptuous choruses.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT IS GREAT, January 7, 2005

By	Brian W. Ewert (Placerville, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is better than Out to Every Nation. Lande is awesome. I like Out to Every Nation and would give it 4 stars, so if you like Lande at all and liked the above order and buy Worldchanger. You will dig it.
