I agree... Ur Jordens Djup is not a bad album... but I was expecting something better really...
And I miss the "happy" spirit that we had in some songs like "Trollhammaren"... |
|
|
|
| Didn't like it that much actually. |
|
|
|
| Pretty decent release, though nothing special. I too miss songs like Trollhammaren but still quite good listen after all. |

The first listen was cool actually. But when I relistened old albums and got back to this one, I found it actually quite average. I can't say I liked "Nattfödd" really back when it was released, although "Trollhammaren" is outstanding track. I still tend to like "Jaktens Tid" the most. No, I'm wrong here. Above all, I love brilliant "Visor Om Slutet" - but that doesn't really count in the sense of everyday Finntroll. "Ur Jordens Djup" is not bad but it's not much over the average. Worth checking out though.

@Ivor
yes, I also think of Visor Om Slutet as their best release. The rest doesn't do it for me. |
|
|
|
this album disappointed me big time  |
|
|
|
| wow, thats disapointing, I was looking forward to this album. |
|
|
|
Very very average album, and pretty disappointing compared to some other work. Not what I was expecting. Also this album bores me really quickly.
But then again, I've never been a huge Finntroll fan. |

I can't see what is wrong with this album, I don't think it's avarage, it's great. I don't recognize any change, it's stil the same Moomin metal to me. There are some avarage songs on the album, but mostly they are all great, not to mention En Mäktig Här, Korpens Saga and ormhäxa. There is still the bouncy happy feeling over it all. For those who still haven't found the extra bonus at the end of Kvällning, you will find it at aprox. 11.30min  |

| Huh? Whats up with all of ya? I think it is a great album, because in my opinion Fintroll sound better when they don't play happy stuff. The atmosphere here is great. I like Trollhammaren too, but this is way better! |
|
|
|
| it is definitely different...more black than folk which is not necessarily a bad thing...it takes time to get used to it |
|
|
|
I havn't heard the whole album, but the songs I have heard sound reall good. I don't miss the trollhammaren spirit. It took me ages to get into the song, and I think Nattfödd contains a lot better songs. But I still think the older albums are better.
And vreth sounds really good.
And I like the video too. |

|
| I don't know why all of you think this album is bad just because it is slower and less "happy". |

I don't think this album is 'bad' at all.. it's a great album - it is just a little bit of a change from the last album |

I was referring to roughly the first 7 posts. It is a change, but it is nice to see change in bands. BTW, i liked your Finntroll interview. |

ah, I see - well yes, still 'Trollhammaren' has become somewhat of a classic song already and so people were a little disappointed there was nothing quite so bouncy in this album
and thanks  the interview was a joy to do but took a lot of effort typing up as did the Amon Amarth one |

I like all the little riffs in their new album, just as intros to songs. It sounds more uniwue to me than Nattfodd did. Also, i personally preferred Grottans Barn and Vindfard/Manniskopestan over Trollhammaren any day. Maybe I'm just weird though. And, it took me upwards of 30 minutes just to read your interview, so i can't imagine how long it took to type up. It was well worth it!!! |

| I never realy liked Trollhammaren. I always saw it as a medium track on Nattfödd. And the album didn't really have the feeling I'm looking for in an album. Atm I have only heard two songs from the album (Korpens saga and Nedgång) and they sound amazing. Korpens saga has to be one of the best songs ever. |
|
|
|
| One of the Best Finntroll album i think and the new singer is very GOOOOODDD!!! so keep on Finntroll!:beer::drunk::drunk::banger2::banger: |
|
|

I love Ur Jorden Djup
Vreth is great and i think that this is their best album! Trollhammaren is good... but all the songs on the new album are better!!! i just love it! |
|
|
|
I love the new album as well. I don't agree with the first seven posts. The folk elements are still there and they aren't hidden. The album is just darker. I don't see what's wrong with that, this is metal we are listening to. Trollhammaren was an ok song, but it was very average and didn't fit in well with the album. I think all of the tracks on Ur Jordens Djup flow together and create a great dark atmosphere, and they do a great job of blending the folk elements that we love them for. Vreth's vocals rock!  |

|
| Really, after Jaktens Tid i started to be less amazed by Finntroll, either Jaktens Tid a real masterpiece or the after-natfodd is just junk....i dont know but what i know is that i bought Ur Jordens Djup and i am disapointed. Looks like i gotta find another folk pearl that is actually metal...5/10 for me |

Finntroll is very metal.. what do you mean by that?
I hope you arent going by "Visor Om Slutet" - because that is just an EP, and something a little different.. |
|
|
|
| Well, i said the exact same thing then you. I do like finntroll alot especially because it is very metal in a style where I think, the good ones arent very METAL! |

| Mm.. they sure changed some sound in here, but it's decent album. Mostly agree with you =P |
|
|
|
| En Mäktig Här is such a cool song xD... cant get tired of listen it.. so much fun, makes me want to dance around the fire heheh xD |
|
|
|
| It's a good album overall. For anyone knowledgeable of Manegarm, is basically the same sound. Like a mix of black and glimpses of folk. I can understand that for a cheerful folk kind of fan this sounds average though... |

Vreth made a huge change, Ur Jordens Djup actually isn't humppa influenced, is folk-black. We still miss Wilska, but i agree Mathias(Vreth) is too good and looks  like a Troll God. |
|

You people are messed up.....you complain when bands stay stagnant and then you complain when they change for the better! Seriously....Finntroll needed to grow up and finally they have - theyve dwelled in the super-happy for too long and I feel this new-found darker sound fits them perfectly. Much more atmospheric and less fucking-about....now theyre making MUSIC!
3 of the best songs theyve ever made are from this album, Ormhaxan, Korpens Saga and En Maktig Har!
10+ from me! |
|
|
|
This album was pretty solid.
Slagbroder really got me jumping. |
|
|
|
| Korpens Saga wins it for me...but the rest of album isnt that great |

| I really like it - the darker feel really works for me. |
|
|
|
| Yeh, I love this album much more than when I wrote this two and a half years ago. |
|
|
|
| I want to check this out. right now Jaktens Tid is my favorite |
|
|
|
| I would buy only Midnattens Widunder and this album. |
