Amorphis- Silent Waters reviews

[Wandrail]

I'm a fan of Amorphis from the Karelian Isthmus and Tales days, and I think Silent Waters is the best thing they've done since Elegy. Its been in my CD player in my truck for about two weeks. Honestly, Amorphis sells this year's festival to me more than Iced Earth. Hoo-ray for me.

This is a great thread. Keep the positive reviews and Amorphis information flowing. No need for more vox debates!

Silent Waters = snooze
Eclipse, Tuonella, and before:

 

[Pellaz]

i love "Tales From The Thousand Lakes”, as also “Tounela”, "My Kantele EP" (has a GREAT Hawkwind cover, 'Levitation' on it)

Sonuvabitch, I'd actually forgotten about that Hawkwind cover. They need to close their show with it. Or cover "Silver Machine" or (wait for it) "Sonic Attack"....

Many of the reviews mention "Towards and Against" being a rocking track, I definitely agree, one of my faves from the album. A few weeks ago they played an event here called Radio Rock Finlandia which was also shown in national TV here - here is the track "Towards and Against" from the proshot TV footage for anyone interested:

Great footage, Aki!

Here's hoping they sign onto a PP live DVD -- if Glenn does one in 2008 -- too!

Silent Waters is a perfect example of how atmospheric progressive metal with obscure and deathy influences should be done. This album is close to perfection.
