Guide Review - Korpiklaani - Tales Along This Road
The lyrics are a combination of English and Finnish, and the songs range from quieter folk influenced tracks to boistrous drinking songs like "Happy Little Boozer." They take elements from Celtic style bands like Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly and The Pogues and add a metal twist. The vocals are melodic in parts and have a death/black metal feel in others, but the mood and attitude of the album is one of celebration and optimism.
