The last time I encountered Leaves' Eyes ended up with me almost drowning in Glaswegian pish, being struck by lightning and sharing a bar with ill fated Elis singer Sabine Dunser. So you will appreciate why it took me a while to summon up the courage.
Now I must admit that there seems to some kind of desperate craving for success permeating the aura of vocalist Liv Kristine, but they don't have make some great music. I still say "Vinland Saga" is the finest goth metal album yet, knocking your Lacuna Coils and Nightwishes into the proverbial cocked hat.
And wih the former having lurched into some tune free career void, the more discerning fan should be gobbling up Leaves' Eyes with alacrity. Rarely has the dense, orchestrated male/femle vox template sounded as good. This stop gap mini album packs more good ideas into 21 minutes than most bands manage in several albums, with 'Skraelings' and 'The Crossing' essential listening.
Here's hoping the punters do the right thing and start buying Leaves' Eyes records by the truckload before Liv has her next stab at solo success.

Mystical and Evocative...
29 July 2006
Format:Audio CD
The latest release by veteran metal act Leaves' Eyes is perfect for devoted fans of the band who loved its predecessor, Vinland Saga (if you have not listened to Leaves' Eyes before, I would recommend Lovelorn). The aptly called Legend Land uses imagery to convey a vast range of emotions. I gave this release 4 stars because it is a very lovely collection of music, albeit a short one. Ultimately, fans will not be disappointed. The title track is especially powerful.

GREAT music

I LOVE this cd. I am an "older guy" (60 yrs. old) and would never have believed that I'd purposely choose to listen to a type of music referred to as "Goth Metal." It sorta reminds me of some Enya/Opera Babes/Metallica/Creed mix (and I don't like Creed or Metallica), but ... I'll definitely make an exception on this one. Maybe it's the "Viking" aspect that I'm attracted to...

Nothing too spectacular
17 Aug 2006
Format:Audio CD
I never thought I would ever be disappointed in a Leaves' Eyes release but Hades has truly frozen over because I have finally heard a Leaves' Eyes cd that left me unimpressed. I recently acquired "Legend Land" yesterday when I went cd hunting. It hurts me to say this since I am a big Leaves' Eyes fan but "Legend Land" did not do squat for me. The music was nowhere as epic sounding or melodic as "Lovelorn" or "Vinland Saga". While I didn't mind Alexander Krull's vocals so much on "Vinland Saga", I absolutely hated his vocals on this 21 minute EP. His cookie monster on acid vocals was absolutely distracting. The one song that I did love on the whole EP was the title track. Liv Kristine sounded like an angel. Too bad I can't say the same about the other tunes which were lifeless and flat IMO. Hopefully this isn't what is to be expected for the band's next full length album.
