No. The length doesn't affect how good I think an album is. I just don't like short albums. I only really liked 1 song on the album. Its a pity their best lineup only played on their worst album.

That is quite an oxymoron.

Looking at albums length and song length seems bM meets oi and punk, whit short 2-3 min songs, and also seems band was bored, out of inspiration, never lost it talent but still wrote Immortal album what kicks ass and did not forgot winter and mountains into lyrics

And yet still right...

The only song that could stick in my head is Mountains Of Might, which is somehow a pre-runner of what was to come (At The Heart Of Winter), the rest is unfit for this sound or even ridiculous (intro of Battlefields....?!?)

Agreed but what he said doesn't make sense. If he thinks that this is their worst album then how could he feel that it's their best lineup? I would tend to judge the musicians based on the music they produce!

The line-up with the best musicians made the worse album. At The Heart Of Winter is the best thing this line-up made. What's not to understand?

Ah I thought the lineup had changed for At The Heart. Never mind then!

The lineup did change. At the Heart of Winter did not feature Demonaz on guitars.

Do someone else hear some Morbid Angels's Covenant-era riffing on this one ?

never thought about it

When an album doesn't even reach the half hour mark, I suspect that there weren't many ideas worth working on in the first place. That's why this album to me is pretty uninspired, though at least the delivery and performance of it all is commendable. A lot of it seems to be a one-trick pony but at the same time something which works for Immortal-this short, sharp, thrashy momentum from start to finish with little deviation. For me the band's weakest record, although "Noctambulant" is a pleasing listen.

Just read in a comment on YouTube that they toured with MA prior to the record, so that's where it came from...

Revisiting this and DFM I like both better and appreciate them for what they are. They should totally re-record a few songs though cause the production is abysmal on both.

For me this album seems as if they just didn´t have many original ideas and just wanted to put an album out. Also by just clocking in at 29 minutes this album just isn´t worth your money. Definetly their weakest album in their strong discography.

Might be or maybe they wanted like that, its more punkish, more motorhead. Music sucks, but ideas and lyrics are awesome, always strong

Good, but not in the level of other Immortal cd´s.

Best song of the álbum: Mountains Of Might

Strong album yet not at the level of predecessor and next one which are masterpieces. Generally though very good album with some classics like Nebular Ravens Winter and Mountains of Might. Generally I feel that first four albums on Metalstorm are bit lowly rated comparing to the later era of band. Guess second wave raw Norwegian black metal is not a big thing here
