I prefer Mithotyn ten times to Falconer. I would be much more pleased if Falconer never would have seen the light of day and Mithotyn carried on instead.

I've listened this album - checked the songs & lyrics, it's good but i don't like the fact that i don't understand... the Swedish! English please! (Aall songsss!)

Anyway i learnt some things about Sweden, history, battles & ships massive explosions that didn't know!

Well that makes no sense...its like comparing apples to oranges. The fact that its two completely different styles of metal (folk influences aside) makes it impossible to compare, yet from the point of view of how challenging the music is falconer is much more intricate than Mithotyn. I remember an interview with Weinerhall a few years ago and they asked him something along those similar lines, if he would ever do something like that again (Mithotyn) and he said no, because it would mean he would have to go back to writing "less good" music - and I agree. Mithotyn was quite primitive compared to Falconer and one cant blame a musician for wanting to do something more enriching and fullfilling for himself.

The simple fact that you "prefer" what he had done before to what he is doing now would only hold merit if he had changed over from writing good music to worse music, which he has not hence there is very little merit in what you are saying. Not trying to have a go at you at all, dont misunderstand me, I just find your comment to be purely based on taste and one can never only base your argument around that without looking at the quality of the music and I think you will find that when you compare falconer and mithotyn MUSICALLY its much more mature, skilled and well crafted - therefor better.

Falconer is not bad at all musically. Problem I have with this band is I find vocals boring as hell.

Anyway, when it comes to Stefan Weinerhall, I must say that I prefer Mithotyn ten times to Falconer. I would be much more pleased if Falconer never would have seen the light of day and Mithotyn carried on instead.

Would've it not been better to end your remark at the first paragraph? If you prefer Mithotyn, then have a listen to their music and comment on it. Obviously they changed music styles, because they felt the need to progress and that is not opinion based if it comes from the musicians themselves (afterall they make the music we only listen to it and rant about not being as pleased as before). So, you don't really like Falconer? So why even comment on their newest album? Saying their not bad musically and then refering to their previous project, has nothing to do with this section - I mean, I didn't read anything about "do you like Falconer more or Mithotyn?".

So I suppose it was unnescessary to even add that, don't you think?

I have to congratulate you on stating the obvious, yet again.

I'm well aware that I'm not being force to read your comment, however comments relating to an album review are pointless if they don't 'inform' a person who hasn't listened to the record.

Therefore forums on a band like Falconer is a much more suited place for comments like yours.

Why should a SWEDISH band who's album concept is based around SWEDEN's history etc only cater for english people? That makes no sense...surely the fact that falconer isnt a straight-up powermetal band and actually have a fair bit of folk metal influences within their music, justifies them actually singing in their native tongue?

Fair enough, some of us put a lot of emphasis on lyrics and want to learn more from a band and what they're trying to say, but dont you think the Swedish adds character to the album?
