CD Reviews
Interesting and heavy

"Jorn Lande is a sickeningly talented singer, who can be anything to any man. Sort of St Peter...... anyway, this is his second solo release, using very talented musicians, self-produced, and mostly co-written with the guitarist.And Heavier in places than anything I've heard Jorn get up to in his many guises. The opening track is very Black Sabbath, although Jorn's vocals add an individuality to it. Then Sunset Station comes along, and it's more uptempo, with a clear chorus hook, very nice. And on it goes. There is a double-bass thrash number (my least favourite cut - too heavy for me), a bluesy ballad, some mid-tempo stuff, all revealing Jorn's many influences whilst highlighting his awesome versatility. In particular his Coverdale influence is apparent (especially on the ballads). I prefer his work with Ark, but this is a good showcase of his talents, and should keep most rock/metal fans happy.If only it wasn't so short ("
Brilliant sound & production, material just falls short

"I'd heard some songs from Jorn's debut and in particular enjoyed his cover of 'Edge of the blade' so decided to take the plunge with this, his latest solo CD...vocally the man is a dead ringer for David Coverdale without the annoying mannerisms and a top producer if the sound of this CD is anything to go by... an awesome wall of sound..Most of the songs have fantastic melodies especially the title track ( which I love to scream along to in the car after a particularly hard shift at work ) and the guitarist is inspired. The more thrashy tracks are not quite my cup of tea but even these have sumptuous choruses."
IT IS GREAT

"This is better than Out to Every Nation. Lande is awesome. I like Out to Every Nation and would give it 4 stars, so if you like Lande at all and liked the above order and buy Worldchanger. You will dig it."
Metal royalty...

"In spite of his penchant for composite words in the titles of his solo albums,Jorn Lande's new opus will convert legions of new fans.Backed by a very tight band,he manages to deliver prime time grandiose rock'n'roll,payng tribute in the proces to the likes of Whitesnake and Black Sabbath,evident in the heavy grinding of the title track.All the songs are very strong and inspired,proving Lande's capabilities as a songwriter and his taste for melody.A rare album indeed."
