50 bucks as the only donation tier to get the album is absolutely retarded. The fact that there isn't a 10 euro option to get JUST Forest Seasons is stupid as hell. Not all of Wintersun's fans can give them 50 for the new album and all this other shit that they will probably delete anyways. The fact that it is all digital is also stupid as hell, for 50 I'd expect at the very least the new album on vinyl.
Then you take into account that they said they are doing this T H R E E times to pay for their new studio. They said the new album is 100% recorded and ready to go, but they will not release it unless this crowdfund goal is met. How are you recording all this music without your new studio you are begging money from your fans for, Jari? The really sad part is the music in the background from Forest Seasons sounds really great, way better than Time I. But fuck Jari, fuck Wintersun, and fuck this campaign that they are running.
Edit: Apparently you can get the physical release from Nuclear Blast later, I'll be doing that for sure.
