Or any time any band who ever once released an acknowledged classic releases a new album.

You know, it's like, never mind that Kreator's Violent Revolution is a fucking brilliant record, people say, "go buy some beer and listen to Pleasure to Kill again".

The problem is, most bands after one decade playing start to release albums that are pure crap or if they are good, its usually definitely way worst than their old stuff. True, there are a few exceptions to that rule, but they are hard to come by.

I think many people get too sentimental about a band's older material, to the point where they automatically assume that anything new is going to be outright crap, despite evidence that proves otherwise. It's tragic, because a lot of bands do release excellent music later in their careers that's as good as their "classic" material...or even better, in the case of Judas Priest's "Painkiller", some '90s Motorhead, or the last two Destruction CDs.

I just refuse to accept that "older is always better"...because then you just end up listening to the same music over...and over...and over...and over.

Anyhow, I've only gotten the title track so far, but Nordland rules!

Yeah. It's really good. I like it a lot more than "Twilight..." and definitely on par with much of the "Hammerheart" stuff.
