Amorphis-Silent Waters

[7thSaviour]

I recently picked up a copy of this CD in preparation for their upcoming set at PPUSA IX. I had their first 5 albums at one point, so I'm an oldschool Amorphis fan, but haven't heard their last few CDs since they modified their sound. Can't wait to see 'em headlining Friday night! I've been waiting to see them since '96!

It's a great CD. My favorite is "I Of Crimson Blood". Regretfully not able to make it to ProgPower, but I'm seeing them the Thursday after.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Granted, Am Universum and Far From the Sun aren't spectacular. However, if you like Silent Waters, you should really listen to Eclipse, as it is the predecessor in style to Silent Waters and is, in my opinion, their best work to date (yes, this includes Tales..., Elegy, and Tuonela).

I'm glad you still get to see 'em.

Aww, that sucks.

+1 on this....although I think I like Silent Waters a bit more than Eclipse. "Towards and Against" remains my favorite from it.

I may possibly pick up Eclipse in the near future.

I've gushed about Silent Waters on this forum many times! A true fucking masterpiece too good for words to try to explain it's greatness! My favorite tune on the album? "Shaman".

I agree. Both, Eclipse and Silent Waters fit my taste better than their earlier stuff.

I am really loving SW! 9.75/10 Definitely among their best albums.

The two of you should get together this next weekend and sword fight. I ain't payin' to see it though.

I agree on the Amorphis .. great stuff. Silent Waters was my #1 disc last year.

I wouldn't pay either, but I could provide the swords.

Wow, hard to believe it was a 2007 release. Easily one of my faves.

SW is a 9.75/10 in my book of metal. Very solid CD! Thanks for your kind offer of providing the swords for the swordfight. Oh BTW, are plastic replica swords still allowed at PPUSA and if so, where is the best place to pick up a few of 'em for Elvenking's set?

I'd assume they are still allowed.....any place that's gearing up for Halloween and costumes will probably have something available.

Way cool! Thanks, Pellaz! We have to meet up sometime at PPUSA this year!
