I have been waiting to hear these songs since 2008, and Jari did not disappoint. Best album I've discovered in a long time, and my favorite next to the debut. I especially love the journey from the beginning of Ominous Clouds to the end of Silver Leaves. The way Silver Leaves wraps up with such an uplifting and energetic crescendo fading into a cathartic release is just perfect.

The mixing is subjective, Jari has helped me mix some of my stuff and after a certain point, its subjective.

Jari is the best metal composer in my opinion. Time II is a solid 10/10

Thanks for the review Jo, really enjoyed it (also how you structured it).

I got to learn Wintersun in 2019 so 5 years only for me, no biggie:) But yeah, it was about fvking time.

Loved Silver Leaves, Storm (especially the guitar solo part) and The Way of the Fire. I think there were some issues in the mixing but in overall the album was an amazing experience. I think Silver Leaves took the crown from Loneliness in the most beautiful Wintersun song category.

I have owned Time II only as digital but after listening the album ~5 times bought the LP today... as well as Time I and The Forest Seasons LPs.

15:20 kiitos 🥰

Now that Wintersun has their own studio.. or semi-studio.. and Jari mentioned they have 4 albums in the works, so... perhaps the next one will be released already during this decade. Jari also promised to chill-out a bit with the amount of tracks, Time II songs had ~1000 tracks, next albums will include ~500-800.

I enjoyed both early Ensiferum and early Wintersun and unfortunately the reviews for the new album are kinda mixed, I'm going to get into this without high expectations honestly..

A lot of the criticism is the production and how things are drowned out. This album has so many layers in spots, there's so much going on in parts of the album that of course some things are going to get drowned out. Like eating Stirfry with 15 different food items. I appreciate the thought and work put into it.

Time II is alright. My opinion is deeply affected by everything that surrounds it. Instead of a long-winded explanation as to what I mean, anyone can go back to the first self titled album and understand within like 30 seconds that it sounds infinitely better than Time II, which means Time II could have easily came out over a decade ago. With the wait and all the crowd funding, it’s hard to not be let down by getting only a handful of new tracks - two of which are instrumentals. The mixing leaves a bit to be desired and just makes you scratch your head as to why this took so long.

Make no mistake, Time II is good. It’s just the fact that it’s hard to ignore there’s a plethora of bands that produce at a high level of what Jari has been promising and whining about for years, that are somehow able to produce no problem at a much faster rate. By no means do I expect or ask a band to come out with material at a rate than they are comfortable with, but Jari took advantage of all of that big time. This is also coming from someone who supported both of his crowd funds.

The problem isn’t the music, because it’s good. The problem is the drama that surrounds this entire thing, and even though it’s finally finished and it’s good, Jari deserves every bit of criticism he gets.

The album sucked if u ask me.. Finnish band called Whispered..they did 10y ago same theme.. better sounding albums that didnt cost 500K...50e, so many kickass songs!
