A very favourable review from Metalreviews, a first time listener is impressed and I think I/we should forgive him for thinking the singing is in norwegian.

Ah! Here's a review I really like.
It's a great thing he's a first time listener, he can enjoy the album at 100%. There's no possible "disappointment" for him, since apparently a Vintersorg album can only be disappointing when compared to another Vintersorg album... "too progressive", "not prog enough", "no DiGiorgio", "programmed drums"... Oh well, okay... When compared to the Black Metal and Folk Metal scene, Jordpuls is very impressive, don't you think so? And when compared to nothing at all, it's just a wonderful journey.
And this is my own approach to Vintersorg's music: listening to a new album without comparing it to the previous ones. I had high expectations for Jordpuls, because I've been waiting for a high-quality work, but I really didn't mind about the direction it would take, "back to the roots" or not, Swedish language or English, technical or straightforwards tracks...
I'm very happy I'm in this kind of mood regarding a few bands (like Vintersorg and Moonspell): I just trust the musicians and enjoy the ride they offer. And so far I've never regretted that confidence because these are special bands whose music always speaks to me, even if they change their sound or surprise me. And it's so awesome when you don't want to complain about anything but just have great pleasure as a listener. That's why I don't have a favorite album, they're all great journeys for me.
So yeah, this review makes me smile: it seems that this guy is unable to complain about details, he takes the album as it is, he's impressed and have a wonderful time listening to it - just like me
