    Bassist Jukka comments as follows: "Our new album "N" is the reflection of our true identity: it stands for North, Norther and never giving up! The new material sounds very melodic and versatile. There are songs in slow and fast mode as well as some totally new elements. Old sound meets new found power - we're reborn! We are more than pleased with the result and very eager to tour and play it live to all of you as soon as possible!"

    Nice song titles, but the album title is a bit toooo simple I think. But what the heck. As long as the album is great it dosn't matter And it's Norther so I don't expect anything but greatness from this album

    Looks like they're going further down the shitty path they started with TDUU. Shame.

    The cover art is not really creative, but you can't judge a CD by it's cover

    I just hope it is better than their last album, that was really disappointing one

    Just a bit longer and I will get this album.. Sounds great imo. And the cover isnt that bad! It could be more creative, but whatever.

    Odd album title, and very boring cover art. Let's hope the music doesn't match it.

    If I had a reason to hate Japanese people, it would be for all the bonuses they get. Grr.
    I just hope this album is not as boring as Till Death Unites Us.

    Ah, great news, hope its a little better than the previous one, although I didn't mind that too much.
    As far as the cover art goes...Death Unlimited had a really boring cover, but was a pretty good album nonetheless

    Yeah, the bonus tracks aren't even necessary for japanese. They buy it anyway. Album cover is very similar to "Death Unlimited" in which both cover art and music weren't so much into my likin'. I hope "N" would be a great album despite the cover art. But I doubt it will be anything like "Mirror of Madness".

    Heh, it will be released here the same day I turn 18. The coverart is much like in Death Unlimited, quite simple and well, ugly. Some of the titles sound also pretty dumb, they could have used more time creating them. Still I am waiting it full of interest.

    Oh man, the title and the cover art is really lacking in creativity. I just hope the songs aren't lacking in creativity!

    Well I hate this kind of cover arts, way too many bands use them now adays (Sonata Arctica, Nightwish among others).
    Nothing against the tracklist, and well, I don't expect anything else from a band like Norther.

    Due to the lack of inspiration in the CD name, cover and song titles, im already expecting the worst.
    I thought that after No Way Back they were on the right path, but as far as i can tell they made a wrong turn... again.

    Dont know why anyone rates so low "Till Death Unites Us" it was very good album if you ask me. Anywayz, cover is not fantastic, but who cares. And I wonder how can you really tell if the song is good only by it's name. I mean "Frozen Angel" also sounds not so great, but its great song, and btw, Im very glad they put it on this album, since its from an EP they realeased... Anywayz Norther never failed me, so I dont expect anything else but good album.

    Well, I dont like it as much as I like "Death Unlimited" or "Mirror of Madness" but it's quite OK for me, it is theyre weakest work up to date, but it's not bad, I dont think it sux, it's just other albums are better. I quite like "Day Zero"

    I still look forward to this release, despite a decline in my interest in Norther over the last 2 years.
