I thought it was okay, but the vocals should have been heavier, that's the problem I have with it.

Yeah, the vocals do probably need to be more stronger and more powerful.

It was really boring, subpar, and not very good.

Worst part was the singer, is he five?

I have no idea how old he is but that's a bit harsh don't you think? Obviously, you are entitled to an opinion, but you should be more constructive in expressing it.

I was diggin' the saxophone, but the vocals could use some work, and the rap section needs to be scrapped entirely, I think. Part of the problem with the vocals is that the singer just sounds too young (though i don't suppose there's any way to fix this other than time), the other problem is that I think hes standing too far from the Mic or something, because at times they're barely audible. I couldn't hear the rap section very well, but what I did hear of it did not impress, though to be fair, i probably wouldn't like it even if it was the best rap in history. I think the song has got potential. I didn't hate it.

Better taste in music? How do you know that? You may have been here longer, but that doesn't give you the right to discredit him/her.

Yeah, the saxophone part is incredibly good and is my favourite part by far. That's a very good point on the vocals, I never really considered that to be honest but perhaps the singer's voice will grow and improve over time and I wouldn't have known in a million years whether he was standing too far from the microphone, so perhaps I must look deeper into recordings of songs.

Exactly Aspergia, he doesn't even know me and what's that got to do with taste in music?

Saxophone was definitely the best part. Funny how you stumbled on a band with the same name as your nation... :p

Yeah, I love the saxophone part and that's because I googled my nation's name for fun and the song came up.

The video was just plain bad, the acting was painful to watch.

The vocals were weak, regardless of how unimpressive the content itself was, it was too quiet over the backing music, and far too reserved.


*Goes back to Trollhammaren*


EDIT: Of course, saying all that, it's not completely awful. If the lyrics were improved a bit, the vocals made louder (so we can hear them over the backing) and the vocalists gave the song some attention (no more PS3 for a month, young man!) then it would have come out a lot better.

Oh, and don't do videos in a school playing field.

Finntroll FTW

I pretty much agree with the other criticisms. Lyrics are meh, vocals are sub-par and too weak. If that's fixed, it might move up from "bad" to "ok." Maybe. Probably not.

what a dream... what a dream so distant!
Why should I... why should I be alone
when I love... when I love my brotherhood?
Shall I die... shall I die to be free
when I cry... when I cry in silence...
so please let me die in silence...
oh my god, let me die in silence!

Yeah, I reckon the band has a good amount of potential though.

That's a bit blunt, maybe you could expand on that and give some constructive criticism.
