I think this could've been nice if they toned down the colours and slight over production. The use of colour on the sky reminds me of Wintersun's 'Time I', which was in my opinion a horrible mess.

I like it, but then this is one of my top 3 favorite bands and can do no wrong in my book.

First full-length was quite good. I like the cover, but the color saturation seems a bit too high.

The idea's not necessarily bad, but the execution with the bright colors and contrast is way too close to the Ensiferum/Korpiklaani style, which is fine for them, but rather unsubtle and tacky compared to their previous cover. It just looks too fake and bright to carry the woodlands explorer vibe I feel it's trying to go for

Also yes.
I really like the cover. There's a lot of power there, much more interesting than their last. But in the end, it's a cover. I still think it's safe to say that music will be epic. I recently bought their Canada 2010 to go with Wanderer and it did not disappoint.

If I hadn't already heard this band I'd avoid them based on this cover and the new logo. Both are kinda fruity and give a polka metal vibe. Loved the debut album though.

I like the cover just fine, but this is one of my favorite bands of all time, so I'm far more interested in how it sounds.

I hope it'll have the same mariner's folkish flavour of the first album (and demo). That choise carry something new in the folk metal scene.
