Comments: Of all the Estonian artists I've ever heard, this guy is the first. With a title like that I was expecting Doom or even Depressive Black Metal, but no. I'd have to say, we're five tracks in now and I haven't really heard anything that blows me away. It's all very competent rock, and tracks like “The wizard called Goodbad” (which basically serves as the title track) and “The last dance” stand out, as well as “The night when everything went wrong and you shot me down”, one of the heaviest on the album. But most of it is, well, all I could call it is competent really. That's not fair: it's probably great, and the guy will probably be a big star this time next year, but I just don't see much to get overly excited about personally.
Intention: I'm not that sure I'd be interested in a follow-up, but I might listen to it.
