I thought this was a really good album. It does sound alot like the Beatles for some songs but what's wrong with that?
I love retro-rock music and this was an awesome break from the normal, made for radio rock.

Worth the buy.

Odd and the Frost Giants
$14.99
This is a Norse mythology fairy tale told about a boy named Odd who ends up helping a few old Norse Gods gain back their city from a Frost Giant. The mythology is in style and includes the same character Odin: king of the gods, as previously portrayed in American Gods. Gaiman obviously knows his mythology from American Gods, as well as Anansi Boys and he once again puts that valuable knowledge to use in this young adult tale.

Odd the protagonist is somewhat of a cast out from his village in Norway and looked upon as useless because he has a crippled leg and his father has passed away. But Odd soon finds out a way to be useful when he follows a fox that takes him to a bear with his paw caught in a tree, and Odd helps the bear out. While Odd is scared stiff of the bear he still does the right thing by releasing the bear. Odd then finds out that the bear and fox, along with an eagle are talking animals. In fact they are the old Norse gods Odin, Loki, and Thor who have been transformed into animals and cast out of their city Asgard, by a Frost Giant. This tale is how Odd helps the old gods and confronts the huge Frost Giant.

This tale is very fairy tale like and was smoothly written. This is a book that can easily be read in one sitting but still offers up a lot of story. In other words you'll read through it fast as you want to know what happens but the story is long enough to not feel cheated at such a quick read, there is some beef here. This tale obviously is for young adults and they are the ones whose imaginations would appreciate the wonders of this tale the most, but as an adult this was still a very entertaining read and is easily recommended to adults too.
