Nice review Barry.
With a Korpiklaani album, I'm only waiting myself to one thing: have an enjoyable moment during the listening, with melodies making me headbanging with a smile on face. And they do it again with this new release.
Korpiklaani still the same, musically there has been no significant progression, no originality, but who really expect to something different from them? Result will be the same on stage: fest and beers.
My rate: something between 7 and 8.

listening to a drill is more entertaining than this.
i don't understand what is the point in releasing the same music over and over again under a different album name ..

I agree, but many more bands got away with it (best examples being Motorhead and AC/DC but those I prefer to KorPrickLaani) I really ONLY find Korpiklaani enjoyable when I am drunk out of my mind. Really, their music is even more shallow than AC/DC and Motorhead. This is metal that is so easy to digest it isn't a wonder it is popular. Hell, even HIM is harder to get into. But then again Korpiklaani is the epitome of 99% of the current folk metal scene (also see Turisas, Alestorm and other such bands). A total fad that will burn out quickly. I think Martin Walkier of Skyclad will certainly be ashamed of having started the folk metal trend way back in the early Nineties. At least his music had a meaning as did his lyrics, not being the pathetic drivel we get shelved out by bands such as Korpiklaani.

Good review, wow they sound the same, so what. When a band makes a song called "Beer Beer" we're not expecting them to progress into mind-blowing technical variation that changes the way we hear music. It's just straightforward drinking music. Who doesn't know this?
Maybe they should change their sound, become a death metal band named Corpsickle, and put out an album about killing forest creatures.
That would appease the segregates, meanwhile alienating their fanbase that just want music to get drunk to.

Because the rest will all sound exactly the same as that one?
Don't get me wrong, I think Korpiklaani make some really enjoyable music, but I don't see the point in buying any more of their stuff since it all sounds the same. I'm not going to enjoy this album any more than their first one.

Hmmm Im not a Korpik fan so I don't know really well the other albums but IMO this album is quite different from the previous : some songs are more "serious", it's not just 15 funny folk songs that make people feel like dancing (but not me...), and so it's quite more interesting to listen than the others...
I could speak about "Gods on fire" in example.
But maybe am I wrong...

Wow it's been long since I posted on this review. I now own this album!
I love it
The only problem is, THERE IS NO DRINKING SONG!!!
There's no
"Beer Beer", "Wooden Pints", "Happy Little Boozer" or "Let's Drink" kind of anthemn! That was greatly disappointing. But besides that, I like the album.

Korpiklaani is like beer itself, it rarely changes with the year - only slight changes.
personally I liked it.

Please don't compare Korpiklaani to beer. There is a LOT more variation to beer than there is to Korpiklaani's music.

I have read various reviews around the net and am really surprised at how it was recieved in some places, people saying how Korpiklaani are tired and old now and need to make a change of direction. Who CARES if they have not changed their sound???
They are damn good at what they are doing! I think Korven Kuningas is actually the best release so far, catchy songs, great melodies, Jonne's vocals are tops... what more could you want?
Keep on Galloping, Northern Fall, Gods on Fire, Suden Joiku.... many many good songs.

Korpiklaani is extremely accessible, indeed. This music has no depth at all. Superficial, shallow, commercial, pop-ish.
AC/DC and Motorhead can be enjoyable if you like their style (I like AC/DC) but they haven't evolved in 30 years. They just recycle the same formula over and over. So much we can consider it as self-plagiarism, imo.
As for Alestorm, the fact lots of people are so thrilled about it is a mystery to me. Alestorm is pure shit. I had the misfortune to check this garbage, thinking it could be something in the vein of Stormwarrior. Needless to say my disappointment has been huge.
The problem is not that these genres are bad in themselves, but there are way too many of those Pagan/Viking/Folk metal bands since a while and most of them play mediocre, ultra-generic music that gets boring quite fast. I get the feeling from this situation that bands who don't know which direction they should take tell themselves "Why not make some kind of Pagan or Folk metal, people are crazy for this stuff nowadays, no matter if it's good or not". (It's probably what Profugus Mortis thought when they changed their name for Blackguard, went from melodic BM to Pagan metal, and became generic as fuck - and the reason why I dropped this band and didn't buy the new album)
I would add that I dislike 'booze metal' in general. It has the same silly, superficial mentality as Cock Rock and pop music.
