Well with everyone giving their two cents on Chapter V, I'd figure I would do the same! :) I would like to preface that I am more of a "traditionalist." This does not mean I strictly only like classical or contemporary music, I just prefer more orchestral/instrumental arrangements. Ea: My fav albums from Thomas are Seven and American Dream. So with all that in mind, I realize that my opinions are not the norm.

Aventura - Great opening, a classic Bergersen piece that makes you feel like the start of an adventure. Wasn't anything grand but it didn't have to be. 8/10

Iron Will - Pretty good! I thought it was a great opening fanfare, but it got a bit repetitive and the ending was just kinda "noise" and loudness. 7/10

Memoria - One of my favs from this Album. The opening piano and guitar leading into the horns and trumpets was freaking awesome! And ofc Merethe kills it as usual. 9.5/10

Reflections of You - A very pretty track. Peaceful, simple, yet emotional. 8/10

Night Queen - My younger brother disagrees, but I did not like this one. Probably my least favorite of the album. Thought it was just too much noise. 5/10

Herocia - Again, I thought it was too repetitive and just consisted of an overpowering rhythm from the electric drums, guitar etc. I did not think it was bad though, just not amazing. 6/10.

Dreamgarden - Really enjoyed this one, took my imagination to a new place. It reminded me a lot of John Powell's "How to Train Your Dragon" scores. 9/10

Xunia - I must admit, when I first heard this I hated it! I don't know what I was thinking, because once I gave it a few relistens I love it! Like One Million Voices, I think the initial vocals threw me off, but giving it some more time revealed how much of a masterpiece this one is! 8.5/10

Kingmaker - A fun piece, one that is always keeping you on the edge of your seat. It reminds of me of a shorter version of Thomas's "Thats a Wrap." Something that doesn't have a super clear melody but is always moving your brain somewhere else. I do think the ending got a little noisy for me though. 7/10

Away With Your Fairies - The original track is one of my favorite pieces all time from Thomas, so hearing the remix only reminded me of how much I love this song, both versions have merit to them. 10/10

One Last Day - Okay okay. I know I may get executed for this. I did not like this piece. I realize that a lot of people (including my brother) love Bergersen's lyrical pieces, but I really am not a huge fan of most of them. Strange that I liked Memoria though. I'm weird. 5/10.

Aventuria Suite - Maybe it was because it was a primarily orchestral/choral arrangement, but I love this song so much, I can't stop listening to it. Really enjoyed the different themes and melodies that were thrown in, especially when the melody from "Memoria" came in. Thought it was the best one of the album. 9.8/10.

That's my review of chapter V! Overall, I enjoyed it more after giving it a few more listens. What do you all think? I love discussing music and hearing other people's perspectives! Humanity rankings so far: Chapter I Chapter IV Chapter III Chapter V Chapter II
