[edit] Encyclopedic?
So it seems this article was almost the victim of a speedy deletion. This is reasonable given that nobody's heard of the band, and there's virtually no mention of them on the web. I wrote the article because I find their music interesting, but as I don't speak Lithuanian, it's hard to write things about it. njaard 04:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Folk Rock VS Folk Metal
Although the band has connections with the Lithuanian Metal scene, I think their sound is more akin to Rock than Metal. Especially with their slower paced sound. I will change it to Folk Rock if I don't get any objections. JanderVK —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 19:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Slow paced?
I would disagree, about the "slow paced music" part of the article. To me, the second album certainly does not sound slow. On the other hand it probably depends on the definition of "slow". Anyway, I think we should rephrase that part. Fentoo 13:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think Sunus Naktojo, Skauda Galveli, and Ailiom Susedom constitute as definently being slower paced ;) I think the only song on the whole album that is faster paced would be Meska Su Lokiu. Ofcourse, I guess as you stated, it depends on what someone considers "slow", and admittedly I have only been able to get my hands (and heard) Zalio Vario.

- Would you agree on including both Folk Metal and Folk Rock under genre description? Folk Rock is already mentioned in the introduction of the article. JanderVK (talk) 03:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, if you felt all alone in the dark there, Jander ;)
- This is really a matter of discussion, but I still think "slow paced" thing is not right. You see, I've listened to "Žalio vario", been to few of their concerts and it never occurred to me that Žalvarinis' music is slow. When I came to this page, the first thought that crossed my mind was that slow is not the word.
- About these tracks you mentioned, you were right, without a doubt, but these are only 3 (ok, few more :) tracks of 13 on Žalio vario. Very first track is quite fast paced, as well as tracks 02, 06, 09, 10, which are at least in the middle of what I'd call slow and fast.
- You know what, let's come to the agreement: let us let listeners decide about slow or fast and let's simply drop that slow part - it's just too definitive. We could also rephrase it, like "slower paced songs are not uncommon", though this adds basically no value to the article. If nothing changes here in a week or so, I'll make the changes.
- About that metal thing, I'll try to dig up their "Ugnėlakis su Kūlgrinda" first. Anyway, I also agree that folk rock is the term to describe them as they are now, but the folk metal is more suitable for the first disc.
- Oh hey by the way, rumor has it that the new album will be released sometime really really soon (maybe even this month). Last concert a couple of weeks ago included quite a few new tracks. From what I've heard, I'd say that new album will be at least no worse than the second ;) Fentoo el Rageeno Valahano (talk) 01:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
