its doesnt, because its not available here. <-- Okay, that's a reason too. But it's even (mostly) below Lore of Nén, which is not avaliable either. I don't say the new album is bad; it's rather that TFoG was great and Lore of Nén was brilliant. And they had their very unique sounds - dark, atmospheric folk that does not fall into boredom after two songs is quite rare nowadays. On TSF they changed to a mix of folk and prog rock, which is nice, but they are by far not the only ones doing this kind of music - for instance, The Emerald Princess could come straight from a Blackmore's Night album.

its doesnt, because its not available here. If it was, it would be entirely different i think. See "Elfennacht". Anyway "Lore of Nen" still is my favourite Album, for in my opinion its so more calm and dark then "The Silver Falls". Anyway the new album is fantastic in its own way. Always depending on peoples taste and on current mood.

Well, as long as they help anyone to find the music he is going to like, tags are not that bad. For instance, I know that I have some chances to enjoy things tagged as "gothic", "gothic metal" and "symphonic metal", though all of these three tags are highly subjected and disputed. On the other hand, if something is tagged as "jazz", "blues" or "schlager", it is most certainly pointless for me to listen to it. Such tags are far from reliable information, but information nonetheless. By the way, we are not the only people discussing this.

Usually some months, years ago I used also the gothic-tag :-) Now I would never do it. I also don't consider me gothic-being :-)

I'm smin1np's opinion. A single tag only shows facette of the direction, the music goes to. And even all tags together can never show the uniqueness of the music when it comes to consider personal likes/dislikes =) Tags are a common way to put a subjective matter like music into objective borders. Thats sad because it restrains people from making their own opinion. :S

anyway, all tags are fine as long as they don't spell "new age"...

well, it becomes a bit pointless if every band is only tagged as itself. two good bands are always different; a tag can always reflect just part of the music. but if trobar de morte, unshine and within temptation's "mother earth" are gothic (which seems to be quite commonly assumed), then why shouldn't (fire-of-glenvore time) elane be?

I call it Elane :-)) I think that the will laugh a little when they are benamed as gothic ;-) But many "gothics" listen to them... so why not? :-)

why not? trace of the flames is kind of gothic, and the tag was here way before their latest album (which is not quite darkfolk anymore),
