Well here it is, another Korpiklaani album "Tales Of The Forest"...erm...I mean "Tales Along This Road," and let's just say it's nothing new from these guys.

Don't let the above statement fool you; this is a very good album, it just doesn't stray very far from anything they've done before. The great thing about Korpiklaani that first struck my interest is unlike most folk metal bands, the music does not revolve around battle or much folklore but instead is more about drinking and dancing. This album is just as fun-filled as any other Korpiklaani album, and very, very, very cheesey. The album begins with "Happy Little Boozer," a bouncy drinking tune that breaks into a fast charging chant-along type song. The entire album consists of mostly drinking songs that are great fun to sing along with, and just as usual Jonne has that goofy drunkard sounding voice.

Im really not much a korpiklaani fan, because i think most of their albums are kinda boring. However "tales along this road" is the best in korpiklaanis catalogue.

Jonne's singing started getting better here but this is where I really start to notice a blandness to their writing which would later get worse and plague their slow decline for many years to come. I think about 15 years ago I listened to Happy Little Boozer a few times and had enough of it. Listening to it now for the first time since then, I'm still sick of it.

I've always liked Vakirauta, Tuli Kokko, and Rise.
