Michał S. - 08/Feb/2024  Milestone in the group's discography as the beginning of 'pirate era'. I am returning to this album from time to time with a joy. This intro on 'Under Jolly Roger', roaring cannons, the album cover, raw guitar playing... It's just a perfect fusion!
|  | Sergey I. - 16/Jul/2019  All in all, Running Wild's first pirate metal album Under Jolly Roger is pretty great. Half the album is made up entirely of Running Wild classics, and as you probably know, these guys have shitloads of good songs. Raw but catchy vocals, raw guitarwork with some unbelievable melodic material on the solos, pretty standard but very effective and heavy drumming, and a powerful bass which is just loud enough. Conclusion: Buy this now.
|  | Volodymyr Z. - 14/Nov/2018  Super new edition of the best album! Very good sound!
|  | Balazs D. - 02/Sep/2017  Schiff Ahoy!
Third records in a discography are usually regarded as watershed releases, that goes for Under Jolly Roger as well, since this marked the beginning of the "pirate era" of the group. With regards to songwriting, nothing much has changed since Branded and exiled, and I think, this record is inferior to its predecessor, the songs are not as strong than before, still it's a decent effort.
Rolf once again was the main composer, and played bass also.
I have the original version on tape, so even though it's definitely not my favourite RW relese, I've bought it, and it was a good decision: this version manages to eradicate the problems with the original version- it sounded awful. This one is clearer, you notice fine details you've never heard on the original release. The artwork, as with the previous two, is faithfully restored, you also get sleevenotes from Rolf and Malcolm Dome. Te second disc contains the 1991 versions, and once again, the remastering did justice to these songs, because the First years versions sounded awful. The 2003 versions are...meh, let's forget about them. They were massacred by a drum computer.
TLDR: Ready for boarding! It's air guitar time! Pay or flee, hahaha! A nice addition to your collection.
