i left that comment 3 days ago in jest, as a wintersun fan i couldn't be happier with the release of the album, and i can respect your opinion and feedback on the album, no two people can completely agree. mad respect for admitting you were wrong. now i'm gonna be the stereotypical WS fan and come to its defense haha. jokes aside i think its important to clarify the following since the band's reputation has been needlessly tarnished. there was only 1 crowdfunding campaign before the album was finished, and much like the first one, the second one had the same goal of building the recording studio so the band doesn't run into any problems with music production moving forward. the album was finished and SOLD in the second campaign. while you may find it like many others to be overproduced, it's jari's style of songwriting and his vision for his music, and i personally respect it as a fan and musician and don't wish to put pressure on the man to just release albums he isn't happy with. keep in mind i was one of the people who doubted the man after the long silence following their 3 year tour from 2017-2020, but in the end it turned out that he used the funds that were made and worked on the album in secret, even hiding it from the other band members to not bring up any expectations, till it was good enough to release (he also remixed and remastered the first time album to match in sound and production to this one, which was included as one of the contents of the second campaign. in both campaigns we backers paid to pre-order the albums (forest seasons for the first, and time 2 for the second campaign) among many other goodies like unreleased demos and remasters of the older albums. it was never about "giving them money to make/finish time 2" but rather to support the band in building the studio and avoid future mishaps like the Time saga of 2006-2024. no idea about any future campaigns but it could happen with the next album as the goal is building the studio after all, so the band can get to producing the music at a much better pace without being tied down to fees and such, and honestly i think with the amount of stuff we got for the 50 euroes each time, i'd happily purchase the album directly from the artist for the extra goodies on top and skip the record label middle man. of course i'm curious on your opinion about that as well. Again kudos to you for admitting you're wrong and deciding to move forward in life, which i'm sure not a lot of critics and haters are willing to do, as you said. we can say all we want about the man's work ethic and modus operandi, but i personally think it's disrespectful to rush and artist and demand they release something they're unsatisfied with... if the artist doesn't like it, think the listeners would? most people criticized time I for various reasons and i can say confidently that looking back now, it was in no way a finished product compared to what the artist wanted it to be and sound like. i mean comparing the remix/remaster of Time I that i got for funding the second campaign to the original release (which was sthn he had to do to at least get something out there according to the contract with nuclear blast) i found it much better and think if the albums had come out with this quality, none of the hate would have happened, but alas the technology at the time was not up to par to make it, an ironic curse of an artistic idea coming ahead of its time and putting the artist through so much struggle to finish it. in the end there was no scam but i can understand how it can come off as such to someone who isn't invested in all the details, i'll be checking out the video you referenced to see for myself how much of it was misinformation/miscommunication as i wasn't really aware of what the haters were talking about, i just patiently waited for the band to release their album at their own discretion. i'd say even if you are not a fan, keep an eye out for what the band does in the future, from what Jari said in interviews he's going to be focusing his time on finishing one of the 4 albums he's got in the works instead of going on tour for this one, and only "time" will tell :P Cheers and sorry for the wall of text, nothing here but constructive criticism, hope it cleared things up!

I'm one of those fans who paid €50 for the Time II package. It wasn't a donation, but a pre-order, same as you can pre-order a book before it gets published. Lots of people do it when they know the author and trust that they will get a good product. For my money I a got a brand new album which I absolutely love; two remastred older ones, one of which I didn't have before; 5 albums of early demos with some incredibly good stuff on them. Plus lots of extras. Haven't even listened to all of it, but for me it's worth every cent, because it will give me endless time of happyness. So, if that was a scam, please scam me some more 🤘

You still weren't wrong for being suspicious, and Jari seemed to do everything possible to only make it seem more shady.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Tell that to the Wintersun stans...

[@JoshieMadhatt]

Even now when he's objectively gotten a little better at fan interactions it still seems shady. So in Time Package there's supposedly a Time II ( more dynamic mix ) and I'd be willing to bet a lot of these production issues are fixed on that version. So it still kinda seems like a big cash grab. I understand that musical artists get the shaft ALL THE TIME from streaming companies, record execs, and people pirating their shit ( not me I'd never ever lol ) but you can go about it in a way that is transparent and honest. Jari didn't do that. He was totally dismissive of all of our concerns. I didn't give him any money but I can imagine a lot of the people that did felt super betrayed when they did Forest Seasons instead. Ya know artists aren't obligated to give the fans any and everything they want, but if you set up a big crowdfund with a promise to deliver a long awaited album then do it. Or else come out and say "listen I got lazy. I wanted a sauna in the studio and wasted some of the cash on it. Even just a little bullshit apology or acknowledgment. But no it's always "you're making false assumptions" "see when you divide up all the money from the crowdfund it really only equals out to minimum wage" You can't beg for money then act like an asshole ( I think I stole that line from Forgemaster )

[@thegoblonoid]

[@Pave999]

@@JoshieMadhatt People who are so concerned about that sauna do not understand that Jari lives in Finland; we have here saunas in every f*cking place; almost every house, flat (even one room w/ sauna), cottage, gym, hotel etc have saunas, we have trailer saunas, tent saunas, saunas built inside a touring bus... ... or even inside an old combined harvester... If he is going to build a studio, where he, the band members and possible guests could produce music 24/7/365 there just HAVE TO be guestrooms and sauna. In fact sauna is the place for us Finns where we many times get the best (and sometimes the worst) ideas.

[@JoshieMadhatt]

@@Pave999 I didn't know that but the sauna wasn't really the biggest deal for me. It's that he got mad at fans for feeling betrayed and angry when they donated so much money and then more crowd funding. But I mean I'm not willing to out and out call it a scam I think maybe he isn't good at budgeting. I'm pretty charitable I just got annoyed that the dynamic mix didn't get released as a stand alone.

[@SamboFlux]

I'm not personally fussed by the crowdfunding stuff, I forked out and I'm totally happy with the result. BUT... totally agree with the comments on production, for the main release. The thing that REALLY baffles me is that Jari has included 2 dynamic versions in the Time package, mastered at 1 and 2 decibels quieter than the main release, with more dynamic range. And holy fking moly, the -2DB version is absolutely incredible. No fatigue from loudness, super punchy drums, vocals you can hear properly... There's a version of Time 1 in the package with the same mix, and it sounds like a different album. Put Time 1 and 2 dynamic versions back to back in a playlist, and it's like the album we should have got originally, and is possibly the best thing I've ever heard. I have NO idea what possessed Jari to release the overcompressed monstrosity he did, and hold the massively superior dynamic versions back as extras rather than the other way round.. Very odd choice.

[@AliyahDayeVocals]

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

I'm someone who will defend Time I until the cows come home. I genuinely enjoy it and think it's an emotional, atmospheric, epic journey that makes me love Symphonic Metal. But knowing basically nothing about studio recording, mixing and mastering, I could not begin to tell you if Jari really needed all that time and money to make Time II. As for the album it first? With the disclaimer that I've only listened to it once, and that albums rarely stick on the first listen, I felt underwhelmed. The melodies and the emotion put into it have not left me feeling much at all. I genuinely did not have any expectations besides "more of Time I/The Forest Seasons", but this album still fell short. Even so, I'm glad it exists, I'm glad it got made, and I'm glad we can finally put the memes about it to rest. With that said, there is one thing about this album which did, legitimately piss me off: Why did this come out BEFORE Hollow Knight: Silksong?!

[@DreadnoughtMetal2006]

Fair play to you, sir. It takes a man to apologize on this level, well done. I got the pre-order (a day early) and I have ended up with so much from it, that I'm actually blown away. The Time Package (for those who have not seen the video) includes Time II. And Time I. And The Forest Seasons (Loud & Modern), and FIVE albums of early demos (in original and remastered versions) and some covers. In addition, you get Dynamic versions of the Time I & II albums with 1db & 2db mixing, singles (for having them as standalone tracks), instrumental (for karaoke etc.) and with individual tracks - so, that you can mix the album your own way if you don't like what Jari has done with it... all in Wave files for best quality. To go with it, there are 8K booklets (visible in browser) of the Time I & II CD booklets, a 5K booklet for The Forest Seasons and the demos plus images from the promos from each album from 5K to 8K. Oh, and you get all music in MP3 format as well. All that for the €50 pre-order price. What should be remembered is that Time II is a continuation of Time I and was written there or soon thereafter - that is up to 2012 (E&OE) so, it will sound a bit dated compared to The Forest Seasons and what they are doing with regard to the quartet of albums that may materialize from 2025... In all fairness - just bake a HUGE cake in the shape and size of one of your shirts and eat that.

They sell leather in big sheets too. So you could buy some, and have somebody turn it into a very very small shirt. Then you could dissect said shirt, then cook with it. Because you never said what the shirt would be make out of, or how big it would be, to my knowledge. So yeah, you could definitely get it done, and in a safe manor too, if you really wanted to. Although I obviously understand why you wouldnt. It would make for entertaining content, at the very least.

@@themetalmeltdownofficial It's funny cuz I didn't know anything about this band or the whole Time saga until I saw your video. So when I saw it I was like "Why is he so insistent that they won't release it?" Then I watched the video that FM did and I was like, "Oh. That's why" 😂

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

@@jesseleavy5841 Yeah there was PLENTY of valid reason to believe the album wasn't real and was maybe a scam, the only people who didn't think so were literally the DIEHARD Wintersun fans who were already donating money.

@@Blindashitmetalasfuck I'm not cooking or eating clothing for a multitude of reasons all mentioned in the video. It's frankly weird that I have to say this... again.

[@themetalmeltdownofficial]

Honestly it wouldn't shock me if t-shirts were a primary ingredient in fast food/frozen chicken nuggets.

[@Durkhead]

[@unskih467]

Finally someone said Drums are wayyy too clicky! Like a damn mouse click 😂 its not powerful at all. 7:40

[@ArcaneAssassin777]

As a Metalcore head, I didn't even know this band existed until I heard what you thought about Time I

[@jasonboardman2796]

I think i'm not missing out much with Wintersun.

[@simonspringborg9245]

The production is shite compared to the early work and sound very home produced. They probably just made a Time II to shut up the haters

[@stantorren4400]

Everything was already written anyway

[@BenFortier]

"Time II is.... fine." 100%. A tough, confident, "nice job." Horrible production, though.
