Admittedly, it is not simply an album like Winter Sun surpass "Wintersun", certainly not when it comes from a self. Jari Mäepää, his character creative head of the band does not seem to feel to be ausgesezt this pressure. To Erinerrung: 2004 Jari Mäenpää separated from his former band Ensiferium to continue his solo project Wintersun. That same year, the first-class Melodic Death Metal album appeared, earned almost entirely positive reviews and proved impressively what potential lies behind this genre. So much for history. In fact, the comparison is difficult between the two albums, is still the focus in "Time I" on the impressive orchestration and drifts somewhat in symphonic metal directions, while "Wintersun" less focused on orchestration and its massiveness through the almost epic interaction receives between guitars and drums. Denial can be but one thing: Time I is unbelievable good. Only after repeated listening is clear what (haha), has created a epic Jari Mäenpää almost single-handedly, albeit with the necessary amount of time. The interplay of the instruments works perfectly, despite the great progressiveness of the album and the resulting complexity. Time I is truly a masterpiece. Let's just hope that this album does not come in the shadow of his predecessor into oblivion, it's too good.
