Альбом цепляет сильнее, чем предыдущий "Verisäkeet". Пожалуй, лучшее, что было в предыдущих вещах группы, собралось здесь. При этом очистка звучания, начатая группой на "Kivenkantaja" и развитая в "Verisäkeet", тут достигла пика. Ничего лишнего в композициях не отмечено. При этом музыка осталась полноценной, сложной и многоплановой. Даже фоновые шумы - и те везде к месту. Атмосфера "Среднего Moonsorrow", возникшая во время "Несущего камни", осталась на месте, а, может быть, и стала еще более героической. Отличный альбом, свободный от недостатков. На мой взгляд, Moonsorrow достигли истинного профессионализма, ибо не каждому дано записать пару получасовых треков, которые слушаются как пятиминутные.

“Wages Of Sin” - замечательный, душевный альбом шведской группы Arch Enemy, где, как известно, играет человек, игравший в гениальной английской группе Carcass. Шведы уже довольно известны в мировой музыке своими неплохими релизами, которые они выпускают профессионально и качественно, в своем, особо мелодичном, дэтовом ключе. ... "Wages Of Sin" можно смело отнести к современной классике тяж-мета. Менее драйвовый, но более сложный и мелодичный, чем "Anthems Of Rebellion", этот альбом шведско-немецких мелодик-дэтеров явственно демонстрирует тяготение музыкантов к классическому хэви. Тут нет ни одной не то что слабой, а даже неплохой вещи, все трэки, один к одному, сильны.

Бывшая вокалистка NIGHTWISH Тарья Турунен дебютирует в классической музыке с пластинкой «Ave Maria — En Plein Air», которая включает 12 версий традиционной молитвы «Аве Мария» от разнообразных композиторов, среди которых Паоло Тости, Давид Поппер, Астор Пьяццолла и, конечно, Иоганн Себастьян Бах/ Шарль Гуно. Завершает альбом собственная композиция Тарьи Турунен.
Именно классическая музыка привела Тарью Турунен в индустрию. Получив классическое образование (сопрано) в Академии имени Сибелиуса, а также в немецкой Высшей школе музыки Карлсруэ, она стала одним из ярчайших голосов метала, сначала присоединившись к новаторским симфоническим металлистам NIGHTWISH, а затем запустив сольную карьеру с пластинками «My Winter Storm» (2007), «What Lies Beneath» (2010) и «Colours In The Dark» (2013).
