V F T S G reviews

[Mayh]

This will be my first Vintersorg album yay! (it´ll be here in a couple of days ) can somebody post a link to some good reviews, I´ve only found one but I´m a sucker when it comes to finding things on the internet.

I'd like to hear some reviews of it as well. I hate ordering things online, and it's almost impossible to find anything Vintersorg in cd stores around here. So I have yet to hear anything from this album

your sig is really funny! childs? where did mikael learn english that well? no offence!

But it's correct: "child" is in the singular here with a genitive "s" added. That's also a known phrase "child's play". In German, it's "Kinderspiel" - here "kinder" is plural. But in English the "child" part of this phrase is simply in singular. It would translate to "Kindesspiel". I guess you understood this as subject + predicate...."children playing music". But in reality "child's play" describes the kind of music they're playing. It's got an attributive function here.

damn! embaressing
i thought it was plural of child!
i thought so, because it's such a common mistake by german speakers to say childs or mans, foots, wolfs!
i was reading this as:"das ist so, als würden kinder musik machen!" so sorry, Herr Åkerfeldt!

Sorry for the lecture. No harm done, I hope? But I could clearly see the ambiguity of Åkerfeldts utterance and how it could be understood in more than one way. The only thing was the apostrophe. But as we know, not even native speakers use it correctly, so that wasn't a good sign. And the sense of his utterance stays the same, regardless of how you actually translate it! That's the good thing!

 

[Fleischwolf]

no, it's ok i was just kidding! i allways apreciate if someone corrects my mistakes!
actually i thought that maybe it is correct, but i couldn't resist to do this comment! now everybody knows that i suck at english!

It's alright Fleischwolf!

Oh, and also... Welcome Mayh! I'd just recommend you get it. Just because you hear a review about it, doesn't make it any better. I have yet to hear it myself.

Ofcourse it doesn´t, and the album is on it´s way in the mail . I´m just so excited about this album and reading reviews is like killing time while I wait for it. It was also like that when I first got into Opeth I only had a half song in mp3 but I read almost every review and got to be really fanatic about them, which I will problably be with Vintersorg also if the album is half as good as Universums Dunkla Alfabet!

We'll find out...

Either you love this album or you will hate this.
