That Awkward Moment When You...
...listen to one of your favorite bands' new album on Spotify and realize that what you thought to be still part of the advertising jingle was actually the intro of the next song.
I didn't even expect much from Turisas2013 after hearing two tracks in advance, but it's even worse than I feared. Varangian Way was a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece that would have been hardly possible to top even if they had tried, but they could at least have made an effort to keep the standard of Stand Up And Fight. Or the debut, for that matter. The last song actually sounds like a leftover from that, but at least it's a better than the eight that came before it. Wish I could say something good about this album, but even the lyrics are embarrassing more often than not.
Ok, the melodies are still nice, albeit not very original.
Checking out the Wolfheart link as I write, I agree with what Trin wrote above. Maybe it was mostly for bookkeeping reasons that Saukkonen rolled up those different strands into one?
Or, more likely, to have a smaller number of different people (and their schedules) to deal with. Anyway, nice song. Oh, and this was what youtube suggested to check out next after Wolfheart was finished. FWIW.
