One or two of their releases have struck me a bit cold at first but then grew on me quite a bit. “Dystopia” was one of them. I had a promo of it but I just wasn’t catching the feel of it till I put it away for a few months then dug it back out. I like it now and there’s a few killer tracks on it. I’m into this one more though. I’m always up for a grower album that reveals more as time goes by, or one that you almost write off then it hits you.

Initially, I wasn’t too, too wild over “Glorious Burden” even though I like Ripper’s style. I felt it had moments but it just wasn’t grabbing me like “Burnt Offerings” through “Horror Show.” In about 2 weeks I was really catching it. I’m a Civil War buff (and history nut in general) and eventually that in and of itself won me over along with the rest of the album. Thought the “Gettysburg” trilogy was awesome. Dug that they closed with that on the tour and took a quick break to come out dressed out as Civil War soldiers…he he he.

Great band all around man. Always good talkin’ them.

Thanks Jay…I got to say, I was initially a bit bored and let down with the new album, but after spending more time with it, I’d say I dig it more than their last two.

Kick ass review Krist! You really nailed the feel of this album and it’s a great one. They still have “it” as far as I’m concerned. I too have been an Iced Earth fan for a really long time…over half my life. Got to see ’em with Ripper at the helm and that show was a total blast that I’ll always remember.
