I hope he doesnt try too hard and go completely over the top. This was a great release, epic, melodic and with a nice balance between the metal and folk elements.

Album Rating: 4.5

"it will probably be over the top but still cool"



Over-the-top EQUALS COOL!!! lol



Well most of the time.



I'm not gonna lie, I like Dragonforce, but their version of over the top can get tiresome. Moonsorrow's version of over the top, however, is fantastic



This album does it in a couple of places, and it's perfect in all of them.

Album Rating: 2.5

Power metal is the definition of over the top. I mean, just look at Lost Horizon

this is a good band,to me they sound similar to Alestorm,but thats my opinion,these songs are intense and very well recorded,one of my favorite bands of all time,cant wait till there new album Time comes out.

^^^Errr...I can sorta see that...maybe...a little. Perhaps I need a flashlight...or a microscope or something...

But yeah, Wintersun dominates and such. This Message Edited On 02.07.08

If anything, Alestorm sound similar to Ensiferum...

Album Rating: 4.5

^^^Okay, so he's not crazy, there is a connection lol. I've actually never listened to Ensiferum, gonna check them out asap

Thing is Ensiferum and Wintersun existed before Alestorm :/ So it would be Alestorm that sounds like wintersun

I wanna say that Beautiful Death is my fav track

Album Rating: 4.5

^^^Beautiful Death is my favorite as well! It just seems to have everything that makes Wintersun kick so much ass.

Album Rating: 4.5

Every song on this album is stellar. One of the few albums I consider perfect!

Album Rating: 4.0

Beautiful Death is a fitting name for such a song. This album got to me a little tonight. In a good way.

Album Rating: 4.5

This was very very good, the vocals could have been better though. Any news regarding a follow up for this?

Should be sometime in 2008 but nobody knows exactly when..Its been delayed once or twice already sooo...yeah....

Album Rating: 4.8

All of these songs are great. The only song i dont like much is the last one. It gets a little boring. I can handle 10 minute songs like Queen Of Winter, Throned by Cradle Of Filth and almost all Opeth, but that song just gets boring.

Album Rating: 4.5

great album! I really like the folk influences and the diversity throughout the album itself.

Album Rating: 4.5

I listened to this again yesterday... better than I remember, might consider the 4.5

Album Rating: 4.5

^Yes you might.



This album is amazing. Every song is a 5/5 except Starchild; seems too unfocused to me.



Beautiful Death is just too good, but they all are.

I love starchild.

this album owns. i really wish Jari would hurry up and release Time before it becomes another Guns N Roses incident.

Album Rating: 4.5

Hahahahah don't ever mention Guns n' Roses and Wintersun in the same sentence ever again, EVER!



Starchild rules too. But I have to agree with Dirty, Beautiful Death is the best on here. This Message Edited On 04.24.08
