" A slightly new direction, but still great "

Comments:
Funnily enough, like Kevat, which is my favorite Rajaton release, I didn't like this one at first, but repeat listens have let it grow on me. A couple of songs lack a bit of direction (Pakkanen comes to mind), but the group is as technically brilliant as always. Noise lauluni, Oin ja paivin and Villihanhen laulu are standouts, but my favorite track is the understated Ikavoi ihminen, which was a beautiful pensive and haunting melody and some great rhythm progression in the middle (though it ends abruptly and anticlimactically). Also, full English translations are provided in the liner notes again, much appreciated. Another great album - it's hard to rank them all in order because we all have different favorite songs (my #1 fave is Katosimme Kauneuten from Kevat). Worth buying!
