Wintersun - Time, UPDATE!

[Onder]

I don't understand the Wintersun hatred. I love his songwriting. I can't tell if people hate Wintersun for legit reasons or because metalheads are pretty much hipsters.

Legit reasons.

Ensiferum is more simple and straightforward, and this better serves the songwriters' skill level. Ambition is a great thing. Ambition without skill is Wintersun.

Like I said, I enjoyed the songwriting. It wasn't perfect classical, music theory major worthy, but it was complex and to me very coherent. This is the only legit-sounding reason I've seen yet, any other reasons?

I agree with Mort being a tard. Good call Krig.

 

[Ov Wulf]

They're the equivalent of candy metal. Dodens is dead on.

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Fuck. More shitty metal being released.

The Ensiferum debut is awesome. The Wintersun debut, not so much.

 

[The Ozzman]

Lol

>.> Nah, Tragic Kingdom is one of the best albums of the 90s.

QED

Okay? So? I like pop music in addition to metal. Big deal.

 

[sevag00]

Yes, it's a very big deal. You have to deal with that very big deal.

 

[CF87]

Yes, it's a very big deal. You have to deal with that very big deal.

It's only a big deal because his sig is annoying, he comes on the forum and posts non-metal stuff on youtube.com. There's a non-metal music thread and a pop forum,etc...

 

[Mort Divine]

I haven't posted anything non-metal related for the LONGEST time.

I always think the world would end before this album is released

 

[Svetovid]

^ It would probably end just as they start shipping copies to stores. Or just before someone posts leaks. That album is cursed.
