Dissapointed, without a doubt the "worst" they've done. It's good, but no more than that. Nothing special, lack of that wow-factor many of their earlier songs have.

This is alright. Definitely not what I was hoping for, but at least it's better than From Afar. Probably going to settle around a 7.4ish after a few more listens.

Better than From Afar? come on...From Afar was a killer, and especially compared to this pile of crap...if you said "better than Victory Songs", we can talk about it, although i am afraid, this is simply hopeless album

I really don't like From Afar. Basically the only track I would listen to would be Twilight Tavern. Maybe Stone Cold Metal. The rest was Petri and Tointoken (however the fuck you spell his name) trying (and failing) to break away from Jari's presence.

I proclaimed "From Afar" to be 2nd best album of 2009 (see my list, although may be a bit outdated now), so...

but even if i did that, and even if i say i like all Ensiferum albums more or less, this new album must be a joke

Im not a fan at all. Can someone tell me what this album is lacking in comparison to Ensiferum's earlier releases?

By the two songs I've heard so far, the answer to your question would be "everything".

Haven't listened to the album yet, but judging on what others have said here.. i'll probably like it! I didn't like From Afar much either apart from Twilight Tavern, and if this album is better than that one, all will be good! I like the song on the video, so this can't be that bad.

Well yes, apparently Ensiferum has lost their power but still the album is really nice.

It's sad to hear so many people disappointed. Now people will probably have high expectations of Wintersun's Time. I hope you guys won't get disappointed again.

Apart from In My Sword I Trust, which I didn't like the first time I heard it, there is nothing really that epic. Star Queen sounds like a parody of Turisas done badly.

Still not heard the 17 minute track yet, I'm not expecting much though. EDIT. Have now heard it and it is epic. Epically bad.

I wonder why bands stream things before release? There are so many albums that I would have bought until hearing them on a stream. Then not bothered because they are crap.


I hear you on that 100%. Im guessing Record Labels do it for the 'Hype'. Its the Hardcore fans that still end up purchasing the album, no matter if its good or bad (Which in this case it is) :

Its slowed down and dumbed down. In the past they have had speed and complexity and a more seemless use of keyboards and symphonics. This album sounds like a C-grade Ensiferum-copy band, not Ensiferum themselves.

I think I enjoyed 5 songs on the album, but half of those still show some weaknesses. *Sigh* On the other hand Wintersuns new album is sounding great!

I'm sure we will be disappointed. 2012 has been shit so far for metal. New Epica crap, new Sonata Arctica crap, Ensiferum crap, the list goes on.

Have you heard the new song clips??? Wintersun is sounding better than ever, I have no doubt itll be great! Though I will agree about the Epica and Ensiferum letdowns.. what a shame, 2 of my favorite bands

Just cancelled my pre-order
the songs were okay...but sooo damn boring and...yeah, agreed with the guy who said it sounds like a band trying to Ensiferum rather than Ensiferum themselves. The first 4 albums were great...the heck happened?

Hmm, I haven't listened to this preview before.

Okay, you are right I also checked out "The Way of the Fire" live footage and it sounds good.

I was genuinly disappointed with this, had very high expectations of this album. A couple of songs might stick but the rest is just not the Ensifeum I once knew and loved.

Gonna give it some time tho, but I doubt it will change my mind about it..

After 4th listeing session, I have a feeling like I've been drinking water all the time and its not wine.
I hate to drink water, water aint catch, and also fish fucks in it, smelly horny fishes.
