I think Verisäkeet is their best album to date. The songs seem to have more depth than on their previous releases (which I do rate very high aswell). I don't think the songs suffer from their lenght at all. They have such strong atmosphere and great structure. And I particularly enjoy the darker approach they've taken. Loosing interest here just doesn't happen - though I must admit there's a good dose of doom fanatic in me...

7,5 is a fair review, this album is not bad at all but kind of failed on its attempt to create something crushingly epic.

Fair review, but a bit low rated. The problem isn't the music, but the silence between songs. If it weren't for that, this would be another Moonsterpiece

Not a good review. This is clearly the best Moonsorrow album and the album of the year. It is deep, very atmospheric, dark, epic and bombastic. This equals masterpiece.

Good review actually, he explains why he gave it the rating he did, and did it well. And 7.5 isnt that low, its like getting 75% on a test, its not low.

People should remember a 7.5 is quite HIGH, as it is inbetween 'good' and 'very good'.

I just got this album for christmas this year, and i must disagree with the review, i find this album extremely good, and of course EPIC. Unlike Undercraft i enjoy pretty much every minute of every song, the only exception is the long epilogue which seems to go on forever. Nevertheless, Moonsorrow offered us a brilliant, kick ass piece of work here. I think their long songs suits them very well. Id give this a 8.5 , 9.

The review is SPOT on both in terms of classification and the rating.

Verisäkeet works for some people, and for others maybe not. To be honest, if you are a Moonsorrow fan, you should like long epic songs, but it is true that some bits don't have much variety and some listener's may be bored...
However in my opinion this is Moonsorrow's best effort. The song arrangements are fantastic, and this album really immerses you. It feels like it is telling a giant story (and knowing Moonsorrow it is :-)).
I gave this a 10 myself, loved it from the first listening. Some may say 10 is a bit too high, but I think it deserves it.

Quote: While each song has its moments, only one caught my attention from the get-go and maintained me interested during its 14 minutes "Pimeä" (Dark) is a great song and definitively the one that stands from the rest.
Thats very true. This song kinda saves the album.
Good review.

This album seems to be the start of their more polarizing albums. For me, this is their best album yet (well, or perhaps a tie with the also-godlike Voimasta ja Kunniasta). But clearly it doesn't have the same "curb appeal" at first as something like Kivenkantaja. It really rewards repeated listens, though - the songwriting here is just incredible. A few minutes less of nature sounds might be nice, but I still couldn't see this rating any less than a 9 (and I'd give it a full 10).

I like it, but think those songs are a bit too long to create really "crushing" atmosphere and bind listeners attention like on their first two albums (demo Talma Ikuinen Talvi and album Sudden Uni)

Two? either you consider "long" song some 10+ minute ones, then i am almost sure they have more than just two...or longer than 20 mins and then i only know "Faustian Echoes" - and that one really managed to create damn crushing atmosphere and totally bind my attention
also please dont forget i wrote this comment more than 3 years ago, since then my preferences and tastes may changed a lot
