327. Arch Enemy / Burning Japan Live. 2000. 3.5/5

This live album came out following up the excellent Burning Bridges.
Though it certainly contains most of the best songs that Arch Enemy had written to that point in time, it doesn’t quite capture the same atmosphere as I feel there is on the albums themselves. That’s not to say that it isn’t a good album, nor a good live album. Perhaps they just had a better feel in the studio that they aren’t (or weren’t) quite able to produce live. I’m not sure.

That aside, this is a good listen. Certainly for me, the best cuts are the ones taken from Burning Bridges but it is a good album overall.

Rating: A good collection to hear how the lads sound on stage. 3.5/5
