I imagine the sensations will be similar hearing Sabaton in Swedish, even though Joakim only has like, a 4 note range.
All 4 notes of which are sexy!

Worried about the signalong aspect? Learn the shit phonetically. I do it all the time. I might not know what i'm singing but I sing along to SUbway to Sally's stuff pretty much constantly. It's almost exclusively in German. I love Sabaton, and I'll do the same here.
Dude.
That was fucking awesome. Thank you.

So they're doing an English version of the album too, eh? Hmm...which will be the real album? Which will be performed live? Perplexing.

I'm so happy to see this discussion evolve into SEX MACHINEGUN & -OZ- vids and mentions of X JAPAN --- without it coming from me!
Saying you can't sing along with a song because the lyrics are in another language is preposterous! Surely you can utter sounds in combinations that are outside of your native tongue Besides, it takes an amount of effort to learn English lyrics well-enough to sing along, it takes only a little more effort to do so in another language.
I learn the song phonetically too. Like Rei-kun I absolutely love the challenge of figuring out how to sing in another language! If it's Japanese (which it almost always is, or Korean), then I print the romanized lyrics and read along, over and over, in small sections, until I get it right. Eventually I get familiar enough with certain combinations of sounds that it gets easier to pick up new songs. For instance, I figure as soon as I hear "watashi" I know it will likely be followed by "wa" or "sube-" generally has a suffix of "-te" ... Anyway, the English translation is easy enough to look up if I want to know the meaning of the lyrics, oftentimes I do not want to know. To me, lyrics are merely a vehicle for the vocalizations which are beautiful and/or cool enough without words and too many times the lyrics end up ruining what personal meaning I had already taken from the song.
I'd be VERY excited to hear Sabaton in Swedish - even just one song! Can't wait to sing along with them

So essentially this whole thread has become moot. hahaha, everybody gets what they want.
Holy Crap - win-win, everybody wins, this is kind of like the instrumental only versions of some of the Coat of Arms Album... but 10x more awesome, with a side of Kick Ass.
Of course, now we get to wait for the inevitable bitching of "yeah - great show, but I hate it that they played 'Poltava' in English - that blew chunks."
