Yep, Prince Of The Poverty Line, Folkemon and A Semblance Of Normality. Good stuff.

Great album. With the exception of Happy Little Boozer which i don't find to be the best opener everything else screams album of the year. :lol:


Kayla, what's missing for the perfect 100 besides the bad lyrics ?

I'm not in love with the last two tracks, Hide Your Richess [sic] and Free Like An Eagle (it's an instrumental, and always kind of fades into the background for me).

I love Cottages and Saunas. I was driving home from work once listening to Voice of Wilderness, and this chick stopped next to me at a red light laughed at me 'cause I was signing along to the chorus and banging my head.

I guess I don't see what is so great about these guys. I own Voice of the Wilderness and don't see what is so special about it. Maybe I should listen to it again, it's been a while since I've heard it.

Never heard these guys before. The songs they have on their myspace are pretty cool though. What album would you guys recommend?

I went in order; Spirit Of The Forest, Voice Of Wilderness, Tales Along This Road. They're all pretty much equally awesome. :D

I've never heard these guys, the comedic aspect has kind of kept from checking them out. Is it overly goofy?

No way! Ken, you liked Turisas right? If anything they are more cheesy than Korpiklaani.

This is a fantastic album. 85/100

Its not as epic as Turisas, so for me not as good. But you should give their myspace a listen and see what you think.

And i agree whit the guys who said Voice Of Wilderness was better. Its has Pine woods on it! :D . But this is a good album.

I reckon Korpiklaani have a kind of fun attitude, but dont sound like they are making a joke. Turisas are a band that do serious-sounding music that is a bit 'fun', but Korpiklaani are just plain fun full stop.

It's not "comic" in a Nanowar way, it's folk metal like all the others, like Finntroll, it's happy music.
