Sorry for the minor rant I am about to make, but I don't know where exactly I am to address it.

The way the titles are transcribed to Latin characters bothers me a lot. I mean, what does "Pogledot Na Szercatleya" mean anyway? To anyone who does not know Bulgarian, it will be just a strange incomprehensible title. For any Bulgarian, this would be downright silly.

So what I am willing to ask is, could you, replace those transcriptions with the English translation of the album and song titles, keeping the Cyrillic original titles in brackets? I think that would make much more sense than the current situation.

Thanks. =)

So I finally made a review. A bit hastily though, but did it.

Also, about the characters, I guess you could contact the one who added you as an artist, The Quiet One, to see if he could fix it.

Thank you, Tuomas, for that supportive review! Just wanted to remind you that in the folder where you extracted the album you can also find detailed album notes in English, including the translated lyrics. I know this is nowhere near the experience of hearing the songs in a language you actually understand, but still, this is as accessible as I could possibly make it to non-Bulgarian speakers. Also, I don't think I need explain here how important the actual concept is to an album. =)
