Yamato

Sabaton · 2026

4.0

Way outside what I normally spin. I'm a basement-show twinkly-guitar guy and this is a battleship set to a stadium chorus. Put the Bismarck follow-up on half as a joke and the chorus just got me. It's paint-by-numbers Sabaton, you can watch every gear turn, and the World of Warships tie-in is about as subtle as a torpedo. Still, sometimes you want a hook the size of a building and a history lesson you didn't ask for. Fun as hell, anyway.

    power metal is community theater for dudes who own flags and this is exhibit a. you're being generous, that chorus is a corporate jingle with a helmet on. anyway.

    the basement-show guy getting caught off guard by a stadium chorus is so real, i had the exact same surrender moment with one of theirs on a long drive once... no shame in wanting a hook the size of a building now and then.
