Sabaton - Great War [Reaction/Review]

[@RedBeardAnubis]

You guys should watch and review the Sabaton clip from Hellfest where Joakim lost his voice and Chris and Tommy had to sing the rest of the show. It was pretty epic actually!!

[@kaitlinsmith1984]

I'm so glad that they address the thoughts of the mothers who never got to see their sons again, wondering what is so great about this war. As a mom this song brought me to tears, it was so beautifully done

[@APREACTS]

There is nothing great about any war

[@therudepotatochip8633]

👍

[@ardmore3785]

Kaitlin Smith I totally agree but it was also called Great War for the sheer scale of the war.

[@ardmore3785]

I would also say it is called Great because without is there would not be many things. World War II as we know it would not have happened.

[@emp1263]

@@ardmore3785 The Term "Great War" was used before WW2 even started. As you said it referred to the intensity and size of the war

[@MetalUnitesPeopleOfficial]

If we Swedes go to war again (hopefully not) we should play this song on the fields with MASSIVE speakers. The enemy will either: *Drop their weapons and join the Swedes because of metal salvation. *Run away because the Swedes shine too bright. or The Swedes or enemy will die in glory and happiness. Stay true, stay metal! //MetalUnitesPeople

[@josephoutram]

I don't think anyone dies in happiness in war. No one tells you how everyone shits themselves at the end.

[@soupperson280]

@@josephoutram tell that to their ancestors

[@wardeni9603]

@@josephoutram Definitely not in happiness, but shitting themselves depends on the situation and the people. In WW2 for example Finns were known to fight the soviets with knives when they ran out of ammo, or disable tanks by running up to them and sticking a log into their tracks with bare hands. Their homes and families were threatened so they just went more berserk than scared. In a foreign land, in a pointless war, of course. Nobody wants to be there, and nobody wants to die there. But in your homeland, with your entire way of life threatened, people may even prefer death sometimes just to set an example for others to protect their home, a prime example would be the Spartans at Thermopylae. That being said, I hope with all my heart no one ever invades any of the Nordics again, or any other European country for that matter. It's probably going to happen at some point, but I hope it won't

[@allenschmucker8323]

I liked that Price of a Mile reference. It's more or less a first person viewpoint about the horror of WWI just like this song Great War is. Acknowledging the relationship between the two songs like that is good writing.

"That boat has sailed and was sunk by the Bismark." Easily one of the greatest comments I ever heard.

Underrated song

[@tntfreddan3138]

@@idiamond6215 Probably one of the most successful song among non Sabaton fans.

[@jonpino]

It was either Joakim or Par that said this album will be more serious than their others. Great War and Fields of Verdun have more serious tones and lyrics compared to other albums and my god do I love it

[@tramachi7027]

To be fair. Most of their albums have atleast 2 sad-ish songs. (Art of War, Coat of Arms for example). Generally this was the case. You have the majority being your usual hype history lesson on crack sprinkled with mostly 1-3 sadder songs. But Great War turned this around. Only some songs have matters that are more heroic and hype enducing (Notable songs being Devil Dogs, The Red Baron and Seven Pillars of Wisdom). But the rest are either sad. Darker topics or just melancholic as they gave us the best "In Flanders Fields " version to ever be produced sofar.

[@jonpino]

@@tramachi7027 That's true. They're all still great

when you listen to this song, the raw sound and lyrics comes out right at you the more you listen to it, awesome!! a well done song whit the right kick and speed in my opinion, and knowing sabaton this will be even better live!

[@qunt2742]

Top 5 for me: #1: Night Witches #2: Saboteurs #3: Great War #4: Midway #5: Bismarck / Smoking Snakes, I can't decide. This one felt a lot like The Last Stand to me, definitely not a bad thing. (Go listen to the orchestral instrumental if you don't hear it, but you should) Edit: Gotta update this list because Devil Dogs has just snuck into #5

The great thing about the word GREAT is that there is an R in there so plenty of opportunities for Joakim to roll them...Tony Tiger agrees. Great song, nice fireworks, big smiles on the reactors...such a sausage fest...I mean METAL fest...metal....yes metal. (Yes I went there. Deserves to be a running joke since the Red Baron reaction :) )
