Disappointing!,
By Buffalo22 "PEM" (Aberdeen, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Are the Brave: Special Edition (Audio CD)
I first heard of Jorn after hearing him sing on Tobias Sammett's Scarecrow. For those who have not heard this burly Scandinavian sing; imagine David coverdale, but more melodic, greater range and a voice that can send shivers down your spine. Amazing voice, but pity I can't say the same for this CD.
A cover that was created by an 8 year old on PowerPoint. On first listening, I had to check that I wasn't listening to Saxon! Now I quite like some of Saxon's stuff, but I find too many of their songs sound so similar. The same applies here. On first listening, too many times I found myself flicking to the next track. Now in fairness, Jorn sings like a man posessed, but it's the music that lets him down here. His vocals work so well on 'The Scarecrow' because the quality of music and writing is so incredible. Here it is merely average and it shows! I'm off to buy another Jorn effort - ARK. Here's hoping this will showcase what Mr Lande is really capable of... : )

Jorn retains the high standards of his work,
By Nikiforos V. Skoumas - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Are the Brave (Audio CD)
This is the 5th studio release from Norwegian vocalist Jorn Lande. He is often compared to David Coverdale and Ronnie James Dio due to his range and vocal styles/techniques he consciously incorporates from these rock masters. "Lonely are the Brave" is a fairly good effort which gives Jorn the opportunity to uncover a great deal of his vocal talent.
Jorn's solo works were always supported by fine production but this time things are levitated to the next stage. The sound is clearer than ever with accurate sustain which manages to shine perfectly through a descent stereo system. The more you crank up the volume the more you realize what a grandiose production this is. Composition wise, this release unfortunately does not stand as Jorn's best solo work; There are indeed what could be called standout tracks, such as the title track and "Night City" (where Jorn performs the most accurate imitation of the Dio style one could hear) but none of these could be compared to hard rock milestones such as "Christine" and AOR classics like "Bridges will Burn" that Jorn offered us in the past. Buying this album as any other from his back catalogue will not disappoint as we unquestionably get value for money. But if one is to be fair, it must be said that Jorn still has not made that perfect, start to finish, album the fans have been expecting. "Rock Hard" Greek magazine (issue 33) marks this album with 8/10 commenting: "Jorn has found the way of constantly coming up with very good albums"

Good Hard Rock,
By S. Dekleine "stainlessrat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Are the Brave (Audio CD)
I have been listening to it for about 2 months in the truck. Can't get enough. The first track is my favorite right now. This is my first Jorn album, so I wasn't sure what to expect. So far, so good.

Chock-full of energy, power, and heavy metal thunder,
By George Dionne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Are the Brave (Audio CD)
The Good
Jorn is like Ronnie James Dio and David Coverdale on steroids. He makes that clear on his bombastic vocals on "Lonely are the Brave." Crunchy guitars and a fiery vocals help drive the dark rocker "Night City." Passionate wails and pounding drums kick off the super-charged "Shadow People." Chugga-chugga riffage takes you through the rest of the track. Jorn knows how to mix things up too. "Soul of the Wind" is a pure vocal highlight as Jorn shows off his soulfulness early on, then comes full-boar in the middle. "The Inner Road" is loaded with guitar and vocal fury. The Bad This is a very short album; 45 minutes and 9 songs. The Verdict Lonely Are the Brave is chock-full of energy, power, and heavy metal thunder. No wussy ballads mucking things up here. |
