I’d like to say I like this one more, but more of the same isn’t always good. Haven’t made up my mind yet.

I still think Bodom are catchier, but Alexi’s attitude is annoying.

Do you want another Kalmah album? It isn’t terribly different at all. Thats why I like them. I get what I want, you know. I can totally see how it would be just another kalmah album that isn’t fantastic to some of you. Nevertheless, you cannot deny the fact that its a steady talented group of guys. In todays metal world a band like this is just professional and mature to me.

I just don’t know. They’ve put up a few more songs on their myspace that are more to my liking, but at the same time I’m asking myself “Am I just forcing myself to like this because I’ve loved everything the band’s done in the past?” I don’t know. I think what it comes down to for me is whether or not I need another Kalmah album. Is it really different enough to warrant my hard earned cash?

It’s good, no doubt, but not as good as the early stuff IMO. I never gave The Black Waltz a fair shake though, because of that vocal shift you mentioned. Though my tastes for vocals have changed considerably over time, it’s probably time to give it another chance. Nice review, even if I only partly agree.

For The Revolution has already booked its place on my year list. Gonna blast it tonight.

It just seemed kinda plodding and uninspired. You’ve inspired me to give it another listen though, with this review.
