everyone is entitled to their own opinion... but anyone who says this album is bad... well lets just say not all opinions should be shared eh.
,
i love the new album, but then i loved the other 2 as well, i was this close --> <-- to seeing you lot on tour when you were supporting lordi at i think the carling or carlsberg arena in england.
but couldnt get time of work so sent my brother who is now a total fan.
i like how the album tells a story, in my opinion it is the story of harald hardrada especially "the great escape" its the line about svein being the ally and the death of harthacnut that gave it away (if its unintentional then someone was definately paying attention during history)
there are a few things in the album that i think i miss because a) i listen to it in english and i think (though may be mistaken) there is a finnish language version? and things get lost in translation. like the bit at the end of the bosphorous track. i know what the gist of it is, but a direct translation i cant do. and b) there are references to places and events both historical fact but also myth and legend that i am unaware of, for example the "on the side of a lion" again from bosphorous freezes over.
but i think its because i have to think hard about it that i like it.
and i assure you... next time you tour in england, look out for a 6 foot tall viking/celt descendent with full warpaint and a (probably plastic) great axe rocking out harder than anyone else!
