Sabaton flies high reaching new heights and delivers a very rhythmic and enthralling experience. The album The Great War is an enjoyable time with reasons to come back and listen again. This history lesson covers a lot of ground on the album as always. From The Red Barron to the Fields of Verdun we learn about history in one of the best ways possible! The album just continues to be a bulwark of love, my absolute two most favorite songs, soloing and beats on the whole album happen during “The Attack of the Dead Men” and “Devil Dogs” from the chorus, to the vocals of Joakim Brodén and everyone in the band as they ramp up to a crescendo and just keep on going. Of course, I genuinely enjoy every piece of music on this album. From the historical research to the technical skill of this album everything is well oiled, each note is with purpose, each sound with engagement and the quality of the album is an energetic lesson that transports you into a world crafted to teach as much as entertain. For the exceptionally nerdy of us, the history edition adds commentary before the regular tracks which really binds the strengths of the album together to create a truly unique experience.  Check out The Great War now! A very worthy album to spend time with.
