CD Reviews

A great live album!!
Thor | Annandale, VA United States | 01/10/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you're reading this, that means you must be either an Emperor fan, or curious about all the fuss. I have no additional accolades to give to one of the most amazing bands on the planet, just that they make killer music.This live disc is a real treat. A virtul 'best of', and wonderfully recorded Emperor concert is what's in store here. After seeing them on their '99 summer US tour, this disc is a great reminder of how awesome that show truly was. And now with the news that Emperor will be an exclusive studio band in the future, the necessity of this live album is apparent.All is not positive though. Some of the signing is off, and the recording does not have a flowing concert feel (ie, they cleary fade off the intro to Decrystalizing Reason, which they played on tour, but is absent from this disc). The soundtrack is also identical to the video which was released a few months prior, which presents the question of why have both?Bottom line: great live disc with some flaws, killer production from a great band.4 Stars"
The best live black metal album ever
damien | MA, USA | 07/15/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"all right, so there aren't a lot of live black metal albums to choose from, but this is very good. the sound is much better than most live albums - all the instruments are present and mixed well. this album really captures the spirit of emperor, and thhe track list contains a lot of their best songs. there are the low points of an elegy of icaros (not a bad song, really, but awfully executed, since it is almost purely clean vocals, and ihsahn has spent too much of the night screaming), and sworn, which is just plain bad. but the high points are so high, yuo don't notice. for those who never listen to emperor, or any black metal, this is almost as good a starting point as "in the nightside eclipse". for those who already are familiar with this band, buy it. it's exceptional."
Spot on live recording
Nosferatu Soldier | Pittsburgh, PA | 12/12/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD is great for any fan of Emperor, or black metal in general. Emperor had lower quality recordings for most of their older albums, and they didn't really come up to par for typical studio recordings until their newest album. This is a great chance to hear one of the best black metal bands of all time, let alone one of the greatest bands of all time, play their music they way it was meant to be heard."
