"This is my first Korpiklaani cd and I really like it because it's full of great energy. It makes you want to get up and dance and just have a good time. The best way to describe this cd is that it sounds like a softer version of Finntroll with more folk music thrown in. Now that's not a bad thing because they still have that great energy that Finntroll has.



Half the lyrics are in Finnish and the other half are in English. At first I thought that the English lyrics would ruin the songs because they're playing Finnish folk music so only Finnish lyrics would work but I was wrong the english lyrics aren't out of place. The songs that are in finnish have the english translations in the jacket.

Sometimes the songs seem to get repetitive but that doesn't bother me because it's just such a fun cd to listen to. There are 2 instrumentals including the extra track.



I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes Finnish folk metal like Finntroll. However if you thought that Finntroll was too heavy for you then I would also recommend this cd to you."

"Korpiklaani brings to you a more 'spiritual' side of the Pagan Metal scene. They've been around since before this craze for all things 'Viking Metal', and have a very distinct sound, feel, and persona. There isn't one bad track on this album, so you won't need your 'next song' button at all. The songs are even well ordered, opening strong and finishing even stronger. Korpiklaani deserves much more attention than what they have now, and your music collection is not complete without this great album. Well worth $17."
