Curse of the Crystal Coconut is a tremendous record. Lasse Lammert outdid himself in production, managing to capture coherently, cleanly, and appealingly not just Alestorm and their musical personalities but live hurdy gurdy, violin, trumpet, and trombone.
The lyrics may be silly and some of the songs are a bit out there, but that is what Alestorm are about – having fun and enjoying the music.
Produced with the utmost attention to detail and brimming with catchy songs, Curse Of The Crystal Coconut is another gem in the Scots’ steadily improving repertoire of jolly, foul-mouthed metal shanties that go far beyond the confines of gimmickry.
Idk why I like this. Its stupid, it's cringy at times, it's really really cheesy and the songs tend to sound a bit too samey.... but god damn is it a fun album, take notes godsmack, this is how you make a cheesy metal album. I can't take this shit seriously, can anybody take this seriously? Ubisoft better get these guys in an ad for when they eventually remaster AC 4
TREASURE CHEST PARTY QUEST!
What's wrong with having fun with Alestorm?? All I want in this quarantine is to be drunk in a choir with my friends on every chorus of their discography.
And I'm not a virgin for that! I HAVE SEX, OK? I SWEAR! STOP! I AM NOT A VIRGIN! STOP!
