I was hoping something really good after their last album, but this is boring.

Talk about smiley spam o.O

This is exactly the kind of behaviour that goes with this kind of band that I hate.

TOP,TOP. Very nice.

This album is a grower. It's a really fun power metal album but imo slightly less inspired than Back Through Time was. After a few spins i'd go as far as saying 3 or 4 of the songs are some of the best stuff they've ever written, most notably 'Quest For Ships' and the title track. Not a 10 for me because of the song Drink, which is the album's weak track. They more than make up for it in the overall album direction though and the mixture of styles... musically this is more varied from the majority of their discography.

After the 1st listen it deserves 8.5 - 9

Some of the songs here are great, like "Walk the Plank" and "Mead from Hell", but I think the band suffer slightly when they attempt to take their sound into ambitious/serious territory, like in "1741" and the title track. That said, I had a "barrel" of fun listening to this.

I think that some songs follow the same chords, if you guys know what I mean.. 4 chords repeating, but at all, songs can get under your skin.. Very good album anyway..

The album doesn't quite deliver, but at least 1741 is great.

Sorry... simply cannot stand any of the tracks. Will spin more to be fair.

The pirates are back. Best album yet!

I fucking love Alestorm. Their live shows are top-notch fun, if a little immature.

This album was caught me off guard with a few things done differently from their last album.

I didn't expect little flecks of 8-bit sounds. Nor did I expect spontaneous death metal vocals. I CERTAINLY expect rapping in the "hangover" track.

Holy shit, I think I love this album... Very spontaneous and fun.

DRINK is an instant hit.

This thing is so corny.

We are here to drink your beer
And steal your rum at the point of a gun
Your alcohol to us will fall
'Cause we are here to drink your beer

The best songg pirat of 2014 """" Drink !!!!

Surf Squid Warfare rules. Such an addictive and catchy melody.
