A Farewell to Arms (titled Engine in the US and Scandinavia) is the twelfth studio album by the Norwegian rock band TNT, released in December 2010. The album is in stark contrast to the previous two TNT albums, being a very 1980s-melodic rock-oriented album.[citation needed]
Reception[edit]
Pre-release press has given the album high praise. Melodicrock.com, who had given the band's previous two releases highly negative reviews, said on a front page update "there's something a little different about this album. It rocks!"
Reception for the album has been generally well received. Hardrock Haven's Derrick Miller gave the album 8.9/10. Scream magazine gave a similar score.
