Even though this is one of the
softest Skyclad albums it still shows all the wonderful trademarks of the band
- humorous and witty lyrics, beautiful melodies with flutes and fiddles and,
this time not as much as before, heavy metal rhythms. Today there are quite a
few bands mixing folk music with metal but there are extremely few who do it
as well as the British people that make up Skyclad. In June 2001 the band's
vocalist and lyricist Martin Walkyrier unfortunately left the band but this
will not put an end to it. What would be devastating is if the female member
George Biddle decided to leave because her contribution is one of the most
important elements that makes Skyclad so special. There is no doubt that this
is one of the most creative and unconventional metal bands, something clearly
shown on "Troublesometimes". As I've already told you this is perhaps the
softest Skyclad album so far and this leads to some of the songs being a
little bit boring in the end. "Isle Of Jura" is saved from complete disaster
only by Biddle's viola playing. Altogether this is a great album in all
aspects and if you are not scared of new influences in metal go get this one
right away.
