For someone that wasn't in the loop with the Jari drama since crowdfunding campaign 1, thanks for the context. Definitely appreciated that in the review

You missed the Jari drama?



Bro c'mon now, that was some of the best tea (as the kids say) of the metal world for years

I knew about it during crowdfunding campaign #1 but after that I only heard bits and bobs

Is it just me or when I listen to this album through a pair of headphones it sounds great? Like I am not trying to be a dick or anything and I am far from an audiophile but I can pick out the arrangements and background melodies and enhancements quite nicely even when the drums are bashing all to hell. I am a fan of the wall of sound overall and I think that more listens will bring out even more of what is going on here. Obviously I am skeptical of the "500 tracks" situation he claims.... like "I didn't hear the oboe at second 37 of Storm, silly me" but I think this all gels nicely

Doesn't sound as good as Time 1.

But sounds better than Time 1 2.0.

All of this guy's talk about the mixing/production of this album makes me not want to give a single shit about the production and just focus on whether or not the songs are good. Gonna give it a spin sometime this week, but I've honestly never really understood the insane hype for this band. The debut was fine.

If you think the debut was just fine, you're probably not gonna like this tbh

I'm surprised there are people still hanging around waiting for wintersun that didn't love the debut. Time 1 and the forest seasons were garbage lol

Demo version from 20 odd years ago of One with the Shadows is infinitely better than what we got here. Make it make sense

I was never very invested in Wintersun outside of Time I. Wack mixing aside I think it’s a mostly fun power metal trip. Jari really needs to learn that less is more sometimes tho.

yeah but selling “more” allows you to justify grifting your fans so you can buy cool new stuff like a house and a sauna

Yeah in all honesty my 3.5 is mostly based on how fucking happy I am to be alive to actually hear this lmfao



But there's no way in hell I'm revisiting this like I do their debut like every few months or so
