Too Good for a Free Banana

Sabaton has announced a new album, Legends, due to be released in October. This is a different turn from their more recent WWI-themed albums; Legends reaches back further in time, exploring "legendary" figures from various periods in history, from the ancient world to the Napoleonic Wars. Four of the songs are already up on their Bandcamp.

For a while now I've hoped that they would tackle some earlier historical subjects - I did like the WWI stuff, but it's a pretty big world out there. So I'm excited that this new album is going to have more variety.

Some of the subjects are obvious based on song title, but others not so much; luckily for us the subject is listed under the lyric pages for each song on Sabaton's website (here)
( Track list )

- Paid off my mortgage
- Finished reading Death Note for the first time (an entry will happen about that later, hopefully)
- Played a few rounds of Go after not doing so for ages, losing to the computer every time per usual
- Moved my paints to an easier-to-access place, which will hopefully make it easier for me to actually sit down and paint some things later
- Signed up for Iddy Iddy Bang Bang
- Worked on a WIP
- Did research for said WIP because I was stuck on some details, found out that I won't need to fix as many things as I'd thought
- Contemplated a trip to Victoria in August, looked up prices, immediately remembered why I never go to major tourist destinations in the summer, decided to ixnay that idea. I'll probably take some time off but just stay home instead. (Maybe I'll go in February or something...)
