| Great record, no doubt. For me is their best release so far. |

| It's their weakest release imo, after listening to this, the only thing I looked forward to was Huuto, this might be what the fans are looking for but not as good as I wanted it to be, even after several listens. Overall it's solid, but they did much better before. |
|
|
|
| This album is absolutely breathtaking, equal to Kivenkantaja...possibly greater? Either way, it's one amazing release. |
|
|
|
| I wouldn't say it's their weakest release, but it's definitely not their strongest either. I have listened to all of Moonsorrow's records, none of them has ever let me down. But this one, it seems like they have taken a step backward, because clearly, except for Huuto, the remaining songs didn't quite meet the expectations of the fans, or at least mine. I'd give it a 7.9 instead, but again it's a matter of taste. |

Finland's premier band??!!! I think you'll find that is Rotten Sound...
 |
|
|
|
| Definitely an awesome album...especially the journey concept... |
|
|
|
Ehh, if it's like their other releases I'm gonna stary away. I think your review is more interesting than the average Moonsorrow album  |

Probably, I'd say that too. And only because the whole symph metal thing is, to a certain degree, more popular than whole "epic pagan metal" genre.
Both are badass though  |

|
|
These guys just don't know how to do a bad or even mediocre album  |
|
|
|
| Moonsorrow is a great band indeed, but they've been playing the exact same thing ever since Verisäkeet... I do like what I'm listening too, but 5-6 for originality seems more appropriate. |

Yes, an obscure grindcore band (with 25 fans on MS) is probably Finland's #1 band... |
|
|
|
| Kuolleiden Maa is the best track imo... |

Seriously? If you ever come to Finland, I'll sell you their first two albums for a beer. Bought them second hand for 1€ apiece, I barely listened to them once.
I've yet to hear this new Moonsorrow. Not sure if I'm excited or not. I kinda lost interest years ago, but they're still a solid band. It might be a good listen. |

I'd say Nightwish or Ensiferum. Holopainen is the best songwriter though. |

No WINTERSUN?!
Nah, seriously; I'd say their most popular metal band is Nightwish, with - not in any ranking order - Amorphis, Moonsorrow, and Ensiferum not far behind. |

We totally forgot about CoB. I'm cool with that But yeah, Nightwish is easily the most popular Finnish band, "Amaranth" alone has over 40 million views on Youtube. |

This Album is really strange. we can't compare it with the other works by Moonsorrow.
the best songs are for sure Huuto and Kuolleiden Maa for the epicity of the theme of the songs. And the little intro near the end of the tracklist is beautiful sign of the depression of the man's wallking on the snow. |

+3 for nightwish, though I think I found first Tarot (but the one I found that I really liked from that country was Amorphis with "Tales from the Thousand Lakes", even that I didnt know they were from Finland till years later XDD) |

I think that this album is awesome, in deed darker than other moonsorrow work, and different.
If you focus in just one song, then maybe just Huuto is the memorable one, but the greatness of this work is the whole album, when all the songs combined they fit to make a fantastic experience, an epic journey, the progression of every song fits whit the progression of the story told, with an epic prelude for every part of the story.
I would say to those who didn't like it, that give this album another chance and listen to it from start to end, the whole 1hour long album, like if you were reading a book, don't read the chapters independently, read the complete book.
That's just my opinion |

True story. The songs apart aren't that amazing, although Huuto does stand out, but the album as a whole is pure earcandy. |

| This album is too strong, a great work. |

|
| Killer album - some tracks I think are among the best stuff they have done. |
|

I just love how it says Varjoina, kind of like how one of those American shows attempting an Australian accent saying Vagina  |
