Falconer - Falconer (2002) Reviewed on 10/29/04

Mandatory Ownage

Nation: Sweden

Album Genre: Power Metal

Pros: This is one of the best musical compositions I have ever heard, let alone the best power metal album in existence. Mathias Blad, a stage si[nger, belted out vocals on this album like I have never heard before. This man can harmonize beautifully with the background music to the point of it being eery. This is definitely a vocally driven band, and I might frown on that if the vocalist couldn't live up to such high expectations, but Mathias on this album truly showed the haunting spirit of the music. This is genuinely an album EVERYONE should listen to. Despite this being a rock album, it has elements of emotion that very few pieces of music can capture.

Cons: The band relies HEAVILY on vocals, which works for them, but unfortunately on later releases the stress of having just "good background music" cannot quite let the band live up to the greatness they had on this album.
