Album Description
The forest clan is back! Accompanied by violins, flute, and accordion, Korpiklaani go at it again on Tales Along This Road. The perfect successor to the critically acclaimed Voice Of Wilderness, this third album quickly becomes the life of the party with its undeniable hooks, traditional metal heaviness and of course, plenty of Finnish folk. New anthems for any celebration!

 Quickly a classic September 30, 2008
Todd M. Gillissie (Michigan, USA)
I am a fan of metal and traditional Irish/Celtic music. Korpiklaani brings them together perfectly. No synthesizers or other "fake" instruments. Everything you hear is the real thing. This CD is another by them that is quickly becoming a classic in my collection.

Good music, would like at least to have English translations of the lyrics so I could understand the non-Engish songs. But like I said the music is still good.
 FINNTROLL'S LITTLE BROTHER May 6, 2007
EMAN NEP
That's how I like to think of Korpiklaani. They're like the little brother of Finntroll. That does not mean that Korpiklaani is not as good as Finntroll. In fact, if you've heard and disliked the heavier Black Metal sound of Finntroll's latest CD "Ur Jordens Djup" then this CD should give you your "Finntroll fix".
I wasn't all that impressed with my last Korpiklaani CD "Voice from the Wilderness", however this time the music is far more catchy. How I would love to go to a European festival and sing along to "Happy Little Boozer", which I think is the greatest drinking song a metal band has ever put out!
"Vakirauta" is another favorite of mine. Really fast, fun and folksy, like some of Finntroll's earlier works.
"Spring Dance" is a great folk-metal instrumental piece.
Finally, "Rise" is a bit less heavy than Vakirauta, starting off slow and then getting faster towards the middle.
So fear not, metal fan, let it be known that Folk Metal still frolics in Finland!

Korpiklaani brings to you a more 'spiritual' side of the Pagan Metal scene. They've been around since before this craze for all things 'Viking Metal', and have a very distinct sound, feel, and persona. There isn't one bad track on this album, so you won't need your 'next song' button at all. The songs are even well ordered, opening strong and finishing even stronger. Korpiklaani deserves much more attention than what they have now, and your music collection is not complete without this great album. Well worth $17.

Der Hammer des Kuchens
This is my first Korpiklaani cd and I really like it because it's full of great energy. It makes you want to get up and dance and just have a good time. The best way to describe this cd is that it sounds like a softer version of Finntroll with more folk music thrown in. Now that's not a bad thing because they still have that great energy that Finntroll has.
Half the lyrics are in Finnish and the other half are in English. At first I thought that the English lyrics would ruin the songs because they're playing Finnish folk music so only Finnish lyrics would work but I was wrong the english lyrics aren't out of place. The songs that are in finnish have the english translations in the jacket.
Sometimes the songs seem to get repetitive but that doesn't bother me because it's just such a fun cd to listen to. There are 2 instrumentals including the extra track.
I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes Finnish folk metal like Finntroll. However if you thought that Finntroll was too heavy for you then I would also recommend this cd to you.
