This is one of the hottest albums on Metalstorm right now. 97 folks has already bought One Man Army.

Must be something in it to induce our friends to take their cash.

Whoa, they are really back

Am I the only one who liked Unsung Heroes better..?

Nop, you're not the only one.

Not bad. Definitely better than Unsung Heroes. "Cry for the Earth Bounds" and "Descendants, Defiance, Domination" are great and also somewhat different than their previous work. Another highlight would be "Two of Spades" which is quite fun and again, different. The rest is a bit repetitive and not really original, but you know, it's Ensiferum.
By the way, what the hell was "Neito Pohjolan" ? I mean, it sounds cool and all but it's not Ensiferum and it's not metal at all.

From the beginning up to 'Warrior without a war' included, I like it a lot. 'Two of spades' also.
The rest a little bit less, especially 'Cry for the earth bound' which I find a little boring, and the last song.
All in all it makes a 8 for me: better than Unsung Heroes but not as enjoyable as the first four albums.

I loved the disco part in "Two of spades", didn't expect it from a band like Ensiferum

Hard to believe this was released under nuclear blast record, cause the production is very bad. overall this is a regular album for ensiferum standard.

I like the album, but Cry For The Earth Bounds (7:32 mins ) is a clear filler for me... in fact, until this song, the album is really awesome.

NO, I think Unsung Heroes was better but almost lots of Metalstorm members like more extreme sound!!

Can't really get into this one.

There are a few good tracks but overall its an uneven album as the sound is all over the place - some generic rehash stuff, some new good stuff, some random aggressive stuff and some out of place folk songs. If there were maybe 2 more good tracks I would've been happy but as it is I can't help but feel disappointed.

I give it 6.5/10.

For me, this is right up there with the best in their entire career. When i listened to this the first time (all the way through) Completely delighted with this accomplishment.
I own all of their material, very impressed to say the least, well done guys.
10/10.

This band put out decent albums whit all songs was in level, here 2-3 was bad polka, sauna, party whit beer when korpiklaani meets finntroll.

Best song was 11 minutes long.

Rating 8.1 is way too high, album as a whole is very bad and there also is not a single good song.

Their worst imo, those gang vocals throughout ruin it.

I'm in the minority on this one but I love this album, love the use of choirs a lot. I think they fit very well on this album. "Cry for the Earth Bounds" is my favorite track. Great effort.
