barren earth: yeah this is pretty good. i think the two long tracks are the only two really good tracks but i don't mind the rest, it's enjoyable enough metal. i don't really have a ton else to say.
m83: this is like, the shortest-feeling 73 minute album ever. aside from half of track 6 there's nothing i dislike either, it's an easy and pleasant listen and has a fair number of tracks i really like (track 5 on both discs are the best tracks). not the kind of thing i usually listen to but i'm glad i did
skuggsja: oooh this was disappointing. i feel like the metal on this album is just enslaved b-sides he realized weren't good enough so he just dumped them on the wardruna guy. like okay the first long track has like two riffs total and one of them is awful. and it's just a very dry album. i liked this more at first but my patience really ran out after a few listens and there's just, not a lot interesting here since the folk aspects by themselves don't hold my interest
