    A good album, it was always going to be hard to top their absolutely mind-blowing debut. Not that this album is less good, just different.

    This album is so pure, amazing, and beautiful, the songs are so mystical and sounds like a Dead Can Dance, this is magic. Highlight Songs: The freak folk techno from the beauty "Kevätrumpu" , the beauty violins from "Tuoksu Tarttuu Meihin", the beauty dark electro-gothic from "Kirkonväki" and the 80's pop from "Uskallan". Album's Centerpiece: The master pop folk track from "Tyttö Tanssii" ("A Girl Dances"), sounds like a sunny and beautiful more than Belle And Sebastian, lyrics like a wonderful poem, and this song its really perfect. One of the best songs from 2008, The Top 2 SONG FROM 2008!! ONE OF THE BEST ALBUM FROM 2008 SO FAR.… Expand

    Absolutely Incredible group, and indispensible album. Perhaps the most significant musical discovery since I first heard the Animal Collective. Best album of the year.

    Other songs like the sea-shanty-goes-Jacques Brel 'Italialaisella Laivalla' and the more openly indie-pop 'Tytto Tanssii,' with its guitar lope and synth-horn break floating over a softly rumbling cloud of melancholic, echoing textures, further add to the understated but enjoyable variety of a fine album.

    Paavoharju have put together an entrancing second release.

    Maybe that's the real spiritual value of the album: rather than impress their personal convictions, the band acts as a conduit for all these forces to combine and radiate like a prism.
