What is it? FOLKING BRILLIANT, that's what. Much more comparable to Serdca K Nebu than their last effort, which is a good thing to my ears. So much variety packed into each song without sounding messy or forced. Every song (minus the interludes) is like a little baby epic. And just so you cats know, since I don't speak a lick of any Slavic languages, I sometimes pretend that the female singer is chanting about eating pizza for bonus-fun-time-points. You know... FYI.

Great album! Although I think Goi, Rode, Goi is a bit more cohesive, this album has a more mature and polished sound, and is thankfully not 80 minutes long

I don't get why this album is getting slightly negative reviews on other websites. All people keep complaining about is the "lack of cohesion" on the album. I mean, who the hell cares ?? I personally, love this album.

Written by max5892 on 30.08.2011 at 15:04 Agreed. This one actually has more in common with Ot Serdca K Nebu than Goi, Rode, Goi, which was quite a shift in the band's attitude.

Hmmm... I think it's the most mature Arkona's album. Splendid orchestrations, less screems more singing, less chaotic and much more climatic. I wait with my opinion since I've listen to it several times cause initialy I thought Goi Rode Goi is the best album I've ever heard from Arkona, but after few listening this album sounds also great or even better as closed material. And this unique climate... Like during some ancient sacred slavic ceremony!

Arkona shows that the band keeps progressing and maturing both in performance and in songwriting. They've taken a firm hold on leadership in Russian pagan metal scene combining in their music all the best qualities of it. This year brought us quite a few strong pagan metal albums (Moonsorrow, Primordial) and "Slovo" definitely stands proudly among them.

A few hiccups towards the end of the album, but overall very, very good. Their best album to date for sure. And unlike their last album, it doesn't feel a thousand years long when listened to in one sitting! :3 Oh and PS Tam Za Tumanami is butt-fucking awesome.
