Not Korven Kunnigans but still really good

"Korpiklaani have been a top band for me for a few years now and I must say initially I was a bit dissapointed on the first couple listens with Karkelo. But after giving it its due respect and listens, I must say that I listen to this album as frequently as I used to listen to Korven (only because now I have Karkelo). People will notice that the influence of the folk element has subsided slightly but is still there. Thats the biggest musical difference. But I've woken up to the songs in my head and I listen to the whole album on the way to work. Only two English songs, which I prefer the Finnish sung songs (though I dont even know Finnish) because I think it adds a bit of mystery to what the songs are like. I also don't like all these foreign bands singing in English, I think its interesting to hear their native tongue.



Anyways, its Korpiklaani. If you've liked them before, you'll like them here. If you didnt like them before, than you won't like them now.



Its probably worth 4.5 too, but amazon does 1-5.



Cheers !"
