Great stuff, just not a great price!

This disc kicks, for any Iced Earth fan looking to go back and get their older material or those that want to hear some vintage songs with Matt Barlow singing (they had two different singers on their first two album) including old demo tracks, this is great! The US version is nice, and this import is cool because it has a second disc, but this Japanese version is just too expensive. I've seen the European version out there (also a double-disc) for like... from places like centurymedia . com , so I definitely recommend picking up this double-disc, just not at this price tag!

Very decent

Well this album, like most Iced Earth Album, is generic Power Metal, but what the F*CK is wrong with that? This album is awesome on so many levels with only ONE proble. The track listings on the back of the album are out of order and have an extra song that doesn't appear on the album.

What is This?

I Bought this album for the cool artwork only .When I listened to the CD i didn't like it at all. The songs are way too fast and there is too much yelling and screaming plus these songs I cant even understand what they are singing in the words of Zenigata on Lupin The 3rd CRAP CRAP CRAP!

Winding-Down

This is a great album for those who are into metal but not the metal that you can't understand. This cd is great for winding down in the afternoon or when you are thoroughly angry. There is just something hypnotic about the words and melodies. If you like Iced Earth I would also suggest Nightwish and Iron Maiden for you. Iced Earth has a unique sound all their own and I plan to acquire many more cd's by them soon. My fiancee got me to listen to Days of Purgatory and I loved it. This comes from a woman who listens to Hank Williams Jr., Reba, Garth Brooks, Mozart and Jessica Simpson. This cd was so out of my normal listening range and I love it. You should by or at least sample the songs. Check out Glorious Burden while you're at it.
