Surprisingly competent re-recording of the classic album. I don't like Rasmus Bom Andersen's vocals that much, the dude can sing and has great voice, but he sounds bored and unenthusiastic compared to the original. I still would much rather have all new and original material over recycled classics, Coffin Train was awesome.

This sounds different enough from the original to kinda merit its existence. Definitely prefer the original or Coffin Train, but it was entertaining enough.

Hopefully this is the last time they re-record this album. The covers are worth the price of admission though.

Okay I must be imagining things, but didn't they re-record this album back in like 2011?

I dug out my cd, it was a remaster based off the original masters. But I could have sworn they redid some things in the studio. Must be the cabin fever caused by the lockdowns lol.
