Three albums in, and Dragonland still aren't doing it for me. There are fair moments, particularly the final, three part "The Book Of Shadows", which is largely instrumental, though with heaps of back story in the booklet (all the songs have that to some degree), which I really could not be bothered reading, although I understand (from Wikipedia) that it's a story guitarist Olof Mörck wrote about some adventure that goes from the UK to Egypt to the USA. It shows potential. But, by now, Dragonland should be showing more than just potential, and the overall material, together with Jonas Heidgert's rather mediocre voice, just doesn't make the grade.
