Album 915
Wintersun - Time I
Year: 2012
Wintersun came out and blew us all away with their debut in 2004, and then promised us they would blow it out of the water with their next album two years later. Of course Time I didn't release in 2006, but was stuck in production for what seemed like forever. Hype came and went, promises were made and broken and the years passed and the album was split into two, with the first part being Time I, and Time II scheduled to be released in 2013. Spoiler alert: that never happened and I'm not sure if we'll ever get Time II. In the context of thousands of disappointed metal fans this album could never have lived up to the hype. In the context of me not having paid attention and listening to it now this is every bit the masterpiece we were promised, all is forgiven Jari (even if we'll never get Time II).
