Is there something really rare about this one? Was it pressed in limited qualities or something?

Yes, almost all copies were withdrawn and destoryed.

DaN says hahaha too :lol:

@Nightlock:
It's pretty much the same style as "Another Return..", it just lacks quality songs.

It's not all crap if you're really into their first album, it's pretty much more of the same. But I find the songs very lacklustre, in my opinion a lame and forgetable record.

I don't even think their first album was all that good. Not bad, but not something to champion and spend a lot of time on 20 years down the line either.

I like and own both of Artch's first two full lengths.

Both of the releases are nothing mind-blowing, but they are decent slabs of Power Metal.

Now what's this, a norwegian speaking so frankly about Artch? Don't you lusekofta-metalheads need something to be proud of as well? :D

No, honestly I agree with you. Another Return is a decent power metal album. It's pretty much saved by the great vocals and the two hit songs: "Another Return to Church Hill" and "Metal Life". The second album has no hits and generally weaker songs throughout, so it goes down the bin.
