Those readers who are familiar with the history of folk/power-metallers Ensiferum will doubtless be familiar with the history of Wintersun (i.e. that after walking out on Ensiferum, main man Jari Maënpäa formed the latter as a solo project). Speculation was rife in melodic metal circles - expectations for 'Wintersun' were largely high, though some suspected that Wintersun would be little more than Ensiferum Pt.II. In spite of the various similarities between this release and those of Maënpäa's former band (and make no mistake- they do exist), 'Wintersun' is very much an exceptional album, and will be reviewed as such.

Ok, just to make it clear right at the beginning, I absolutely love/adore/worship (choose preferred term) this album. And I'm not alone, just check the number of fans in "Featured bands" section. So reviewing this album comes with great responsibility.
Jari Mäenpää started as a part of Ensiferum. Great black folk metal band if you'd ask me. So why did he leave? He came up with some interesting not-so-Ensiferum-like ideas. So he started his own project with drummer Kai Hahto of Rotten Sound grinders. But where are the others? Where are synth, bass, second guitar players we can hear in there? Well by the time Wintersun was recorded Jari Mäenpää did everything except drums. Yes, everything except drums. Later on Jukka Koskinken of Norther and Teemu Mäntysaari joined to finish the lineup.

Wintersun is the band Jari Mäenpää started after leaving Ensiferum. Some people dispise this band because they compare it to Ensiferum and say it's worse. Big mistake. This probably isn't as bombastic and catchy as Ensiferum, of course, but, what is Wintersun?

I've seen them labelled as Melodic Death Metal, as well as Extreme Power Metal. The first thing that comes to my mind though, is Children Of Bodom. But Children Of Bodom they are not. They play somewhat epic, almost progressive Melodic Death/Black Metal with Folk influences. You may see it as less Folk-like, as only some riffs have Folk qualities, but more aggressive and complex Ensiferum. It's far more than just that however.

When in 2004 Jari Mäenpää left Ensiferum, few people could imagine what impact that would leave on the metal community. Ensiferum got on pretty we'll, but what Jari did with his new band Wintersun was something quite unexpected. There are only few albums that deserve this kind of praise and hype, but I think this one is one of them.

A most beautiful melancholic album cover, fast sweeping guitar solos, some fantastic melodies, and an epic, if slightly overproduced soundscape - Wintersun's debut album is clearly the result of a lot of passion and hard work and is obviously intended to be a monumental album. It is a shame then, that with so much going for it, Wintersun falls short of being the masterpiece that it is intended to be.

Some tracks are pretty awesome, but I find myself snoozing a bit as it goes on, maybe it's the each song longer than the last structure... With the exception of the epic and black metallish 'Beautiful Death', whose opening riff is a lot like Unanimated's 'Depths of a Black Sea', which is sweet.

Puh-lease. One person goes overexagerating in comparing this album to something sugar-coated (if melodies are sugar coated, which coats 90% of music in sugar) and all the cool kids suddenly follow him like blindmen. I'm not saying it's not possible not to like this, but saying it's sugar-coated? Gimme a break. That means every non-extreme metal band is sugar-coated.

I'd rather say this is cheese-coated (thus, salty) rather than sugary.

And massively overrated to boot.

I believe the both camps are exaggerating. Really. If I listened to something hyped but not relevant to my interests, I'd pretty much say it's overrated too. Not that it isn't. But the amounts of both the people who hung onto this because someone told them it's the best shit in the world and now they believe it and the ones who saw the hype, put on their "huge critic" top hat and dissected this music without a trace of emotion to proclaim that it's pure bullshit are pretty much destroying every opportunity that somebody approaches this (or Time) with a clean slate in the future. Guess we have the first camp to blame for that. But it still makes me sick.

Ya, it's rated high. That means it's overrated. But I don't see what good does it bring to be the 57575757th person to criticize it. Except for the self-satisfaction of being a person who slanders something that a lot of other people like, which makes 57575757 special snowflakes.

I'm not targeting you personally with my speech, but I'm really tired of everyone in metal taking polar opposite sides over and over again and thinking they're so special for being critical/fan. Are we gonna make Lulu jokes until 2020? Are we gonna slander/worship Wintersun til the rest of eternity? When are we ever gonna stop being so goddamn boring? When are we gonna stop glorifying our opinions?

That's a risky assumption to make, that those who don't like the album have to belong to the more negative of these two poles. Perhaps someone genuinely dislikes the album, their opinion might coincide with the 'Wintersun is overrated' camp but it isn't a fair generalisation to make that they have all donned those "huge critic" top hats.

But I completely agree with you about the two opinions of 'masterpiece' and 'shite' being repeatedly expressed, unneccessary if you ask me. But with the popularity of this album isn't it only expected that such ridiculously opposing opinions arise? I do think the whole polarization thing occurs in a ridiculous way with this album (at least on this website), so I can understand your frustration. I discovered this album myself from here, so I can say that the two poles were immediately obvious, despite the high rating.

Well, it is also assumed that everyone that gave a ten to this album is a blind fanboy who holds Jari as his God, and I can assure you not everyone is. But I didn't suggest that, it probably just came off like that. Maybe I'm just bitter about it because I only utter the word "overrated" when I judge something I usually like and something of value I'm familiar with. If the Metallica albums do nothing for me, I won't go around and claim they're overrated. I can say I dislike it, or I don't get it, but the idea that it is overrated just because the Joe Public likes it more than I do doesn't cut it for me. So the idea that black/doom/thrash metal fans who dislike this type of metal listen to this because of the hype, and, of course, dislike it, and then claim it's overrated is a bit crap to me. Music is only good if it matches your soul and if you invest yourself emotionally in it. You can't just cold-heartedly put an album on.

And of course there is the Captain Obvious argument. As a person who does like this album very much and who played it a lot since 2009, I do say it's overrated. How could it not be, when a lot of people claim it's close to perfect? Something so wildly acclaimed is overrated by definition; and everyone posts about expecting their arguments are pure discovery to the readers, while they actually are not. So is with everything here. Check out any Metallica news, full of those "Metallica sucks, Lulu sucks, Metallica sold out, Lars Ulrich sucks monkey balls"... no shit, Sherlocks? I admit taking part in it every once in a while, but I won't do it any more, because, honestly, if we can't get past spamming every thread with some redundant opinions, the metal community pretty much blows.

Edit: My posts come off as "whether you really like or dislike something, it's pointless to argue about it", and while it is to some extent true, I'd like to add something else: arguing about whether an album is awesomely good or awesomely bad, justified or not, based on judgements of the heart or judgements on the head, has a time and a place - in a single thread, in the year of its release. Not all over the forums 8 years after.

I call bullshit here. There's no wrong in saying that something is overrated and at the same time disliking the record. People tend to forget that overrated and underrated are supposed to be objective words... No matter your personal opinion of the album's quality. If you don't say those words for albums you don't like... that's only your call.

Yeah, but if you don't see any positive side about anything, then you can't approach it from both angles in attempt to judge its quality (although you can only judge quality of music up to some extent). Furthermore, people who dislike something often do not wish to immerse themselves in it further and try to figure it out. I'm not saying this album in particular is some deep shit you have to study for years, but the more you invest your brain and heart into something, the more you understand. Then you can try and think of all the positives and the negatives.

But maybe that's just me. I'm beginning to think that overrated and underrated are silly words which should not be used as an argument, just like "good" and "bad". Because it is only natural that not everyone will find the same values in works of art, and that the fact that some minority likes/dislikes something automatically makes it overrated/underrated to that minority. Even the stuff I'm doing makes no sense, because, how can you value a work of art? Even if I like this to a certain extent, I can't claim that my opinion about an album is valid and that the people who claim this is perfect are wrong. I mean, they are wrong, because nothing is ever perfect... unless to an individual. Whether something is good or bad is entirely up to you.

Meh, I think you can be very good at ignoring your own opinion in order to pass judgement if something has been way too hyped or not... It's not an herculean task to do, the problem is that most people think too high of themselves so if it's not of their liking it must be hyped.. Which is off course: Bullshit.

So I really don't agree with "then you can't approach it from both angles". This is what separates critics from just bashing because you CAN do that.

Well good job to you then, but I'm getting more and more skeptic about this, to the point that I refuse to say "this is good" or "this is bad" completely. Even in reviews, I will from now on just try to describe how something sounds like and whether it provoked an emotional response or not, which I sometimes fail in doing, but those are my best reviews because I'm 100% behind them.

A world where everyone would say "I like this because of *reasons*" is a world I'd very much like to live in, as absurd as it sounds. No good, no bad. Just like/dislike.

Hmm.. well to be honest I just ignore any talk of whether things are overrated or not and just listen to the music. People can bicker and bullshit all they like as far as I'm concerned, in the end it doesn't really have an impact on your listening experience does it? Even if it does it's their experience that they may be inhibiting, not your own. And while it might be painful to watch what appears to be a bunch of trend hopping idiots clutter up a thread we have to be careful not to make judgement on all posts, allocating them to the 'overrated' or 'godly masterpiece' sides of things. Some posts may have more to them than you might suspect. But simple comments like 'overrated album is overrated' and whatnot are obviously one thing, completely useless, especially, as you say, in a thread for an album as old as this one.

It really isn't any more complicated than this.
If someone wants to use terms like 'overrated' to describe something that's up them. Personally its something I also stay well clear of, it holds little weight in my eyes when discussing music.

Yeah, but "good/bad" are value judgements, and "like/dislike" are opinions. I see them as such. When I post my opinion about what something does for me, I'll say I like/dislike it.

This is more of a linguistic dispute if anything, I prefer using one term and some others prefer using other terms. And I'm angry at the fact that people won't do it my way, but both ways have their advantages; the "good/bad" world may lead to flame wars, but in "like/dislike" world would be hardly any discussion at all. Which makes the forums redundant.

some people DO believe that they are judges of art when they talk about things like these, so that's when things get messy.


Well, I did mention that in one of my previous posts. I usually stay the fuck away from those people... If I can't do that, I just call them on their shit every time.

I can be like that for large periods of time but time and again I explode. Probably not a forum person.

Anyway, to conclude - newbies to Wintersun, stay the fuck away from threads like these where everyone is either hyp-praising it or slandering it without any explanation and form your own opinions.

Well good job to you then, but I'm getting more and more skeptic about this, to the point that I refuse to say "this is good" or "this is bad" completely.


Hhahahahha , I'll play once again the existencial card here Nah, just kidding.... You have to udnerstand that when you say this is good/bad, you are by default giving your opinion, nothign wrong with that. Refusing to tell your own opinion strikes me as... I dunno, kind of weak.


Particular ways of expressing opinions also appear weak and redundant. Weaker in fact than not having voiced your opinion in the first place. When 500 people have already posted about this album in it's status as 'masterpiece' I'm hardly going to stop at post number 467 and say FUCK ME! Really! A Masterpiece you say?!

To be fair though it's a forum, your're bound to hear the same thing over and again for the popular stuff.
