WTF! 10 is a bit overrated, for me 8.

If you comment just for whining, at least give us an explanation.

Ok, Moonsorrow is a good band for me, they know what they want and do it well, I have this cd original and enjoy it a lot but for me 10 is just for masterpieces and I don't consider this a perfect album.

Personally the perfection in viking metal has only been achieved by Bathory.

P.D. Obviously that's only my opinion.

I like that much better

Yeah, of course, not for everyone Moonsorrow is a godlike band. But for me, they are maybe not the best band, but probably the one that I like the most, as I love their four albums, and I don't think I like as much a band as this. So, this has done to me the highest percentage of ownage band, because I can't think of any bad song of this band.

I don't think it's overrated; it deserves a 10. IMO this is the second best Moonsorrow album after Verisakeet. I also cannot think of any bad song of this band. And Ville is one of the finest vocalists metal has to offer.

How would you call that?

well, i've just checked. again, there is no scream on the song "Sankarihauta" at that time. though, i would be glad to hear that scream, so if you could be so kind and check the song again and ''update'' your review..

cheers!

It is, just where the keys begin going cool . Dunno if your timing it's different

There is indeed one fucking good scream in that second song. Together with the intro of a song I can't remember (piano intro) and the intro of the song 'Aurinko Ja Kuu' the best parts. Truly awesome parts.

BUT, that is for me the only awesome stuff on it. The rest is nothing but overrated music to my taste. A seven (and maybe a half) would do justice.

There are so many great elements in the album that I just can't help loving: the impressive screams, how "Kylän Päässä" changes into that powerful blast in 6:00, how "Hiidenpelto" just feels so mercilessly raw from 4:20 on (especially lyrics & vocals), all those light acoustic phases in the songs, how the vocals echo so much, and finally, those heavy kickass riffs!

Kivenkantaja has clearly better overall quality and stronger sound than Voimasta Ja Kunniasta. You'll hear it instantly. ...But there are so many great hooks in this album that I have to rate them both equally good. Amazing music, a must have: it's 9,5 from me.

this album is fuckin awesome...great review largos I would have written the same things...the only song I don't understand completely is Hiidenpelto...well I'll listen to it again...and then the whole album

Just got this album and god damn myself for not getting it earlier. They really are incapable of producing a 'bad' album.

I dont know. Im having a pretty hard time with this album, just cant seem to enjoy it.

It has some really cool folk moments, but they are not as good as I thought it would be. Maybe everyone simply telling me how good this album is create some wrong expectations.

The two last songs are pretty good. Rest is disappointing.

Totaly agree with Talvi, this is definitely a masterpiece, at least a masterpiece of viking/folk metal, togheter with Kivenkantaja and Suden Uni.

Good album , i really enjoyed it thought i am not viking/folk metal fan, but the rating is a little high.

Anyway the band execute their music well, good musicianship.

Unfortunatey, this is most probably one of the worst reviews I ever read....

fanboyism: 10
well-founded arguments why this record deserves 10/10 points for it's originality: 0

However, "Does it create a fucking atmosphere? Hell, yeah!" and "Hell, if you like music the [sic!] then kill, destroy to get this album!" made me giggle.

Opening part, I agree, translate songs, look into booklet, artwork and listen it in autumn night, visions are clearer here , its real journey, what abm actuallu is!

Not as good as "Kivenkantaja" from the same band, but very close. Again... melodic, powerful and majestic.

Amazing record.
