Review by illusionist for Wintersun - Time I (2012)

"Sons", "Land", and "Time" are all top-tier epics worthy of a perfect 5-star score like I gave the debut. These songs are, once again, masterstrokes from Jari Maenpaa & Co. 

Unfortunately, I can't in good conscience give a 5 to an "album" with only three real songs and some mediocre instrumental interludes as filler. There is true greatness here - I just need more of it, and packaged better. 

And so, the wait for Time II continues. How many more crowdfunding packages stand between us and the full realization of Maenpaa's prodigious potential as a Metal composer? However many it is, I'm willing to do my part. Until then, I'll keep singing "Land of Snow and Sorow" in the shower.
