Poets of the Fall, take 2

Saw Poets of the Fall in Tavastia on Wednesday.

Missed the warm-up band, but Phoenix Effect seems to be popular enough based on the number of t-shirts and a namecheck by the headliner.

While the 75-minute gig was good, and included nifty extra numbers (like a bossanova-rendition of Sorry Go Round, I kept expecting the band to kick into a higher gear. Even the biggest hits like the title song from the previous album (Carnival of Rust) felt strangely subdued.

The set list is taken from the band’s forum, I haven’t listened t the newest album much, and was pretty much clueless when it came to naming some of the songs. And yeah, that’s a cover of Chris Cornell’s Casino Royale-theme song there.

Sorry Go Round
Revolution Roulette
