I have this listened to a few songs...but then got distracted cause BTBAM's new album is so amazing...

OK, I have to get this. Great review. I have elegy and tales and I love them both - in fact, elegy is one of my favourite albums. I have to admit that I like what you said about the songs flowing into each other. I like albums to hold together as a unit. I was in two minds, but now I will definitely pick this up. Oh yeah, and that artwork has to be the best I have ever seen. Very moving.

This is like a mix of melodic death metal, doom, and progressive. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure any fan of the albums I mentioned in my review will love this.

I've got the cover art as my desktop background, you can find a big version on their website, it fits perfectly and just looks... amazing.

It's a good review... and it's a good album... I am inclined to agree that it is their best release ever... but I can't go so far as to call it a classic or an album of the year.This Message Edited On 09.24.07

Yeah, it makes too many missteps to be called a classic. There's a few songs that just bore me.
And album of the year...not when After Forever's S/T came out.

Excellent review except when you say things like this "I think it makes Opeth look silly in comparison." Yeah right! Good album though.

"I think it makes Opeth look silly in comparison." Yeah right!
Thats why I put the "I Think" in there ;)
Originally I wrote it like it was a fact, but then I realized I would get backlash on that so i wrote it as an opinion. I'm entitled to my opinion :DThis Message Edited On 09.24.07

^^^^This is true since a majority of this website is opinion. I don't know what I was thinking with that backlash..........must have been my fanboyism for Opeth! Great review once again and I will check out this album again since I probably missed something the first time.

Definitely Amorphis' best release since 'Elegy'. I just wish Tomi Koivusaari would growl more. I have always enjoyed thier progressiveness and willingness to try different things. Unfortunately they took it (WAY) too far with 'Am Universum'. (the only album I cannot stomach).

Amorphis: serious business.

Indeed, they have really pulled it together. Still loving this album. Still my album of the year.

Awesome album although at times I think they wanted to create another Eclipse, they could have expanded a little more.

I honestly think this doesn't sound like Eclipse much.
This I prefer by a long way.

This album still blows me away, "I Of Crimson Blood", "Silent Waters", "Black River" and "A Servant" are absolutely amazing. One of the best albums I've heard in a really long time.

Still far behind in the In Flames and Amorphis catalog. 1 cd together.

It may take a few listens, and it really makes more sense if you take in the whole album...
