Elegy is amazing and also have a soft spot for Tuonela which has some incredible melodies, even though the vox are an acquired taste.

What a masterpiece this is. Not sure why I don't 5 it but Elegy is slightly better.

Man the composition in To Father's Cabin is fucking awesome. The organ is so good.

What this album builds on over their debut in terms of song writing, melody and atmosphere it loses in (at times) overly cheesy/cringy keyboards and terrible clean vocals.



No doubting the quality on this album, I just find those two aspects quite detrimental to my listening experience, in addition to the harsh vocals still being pretty poor.

The vox are charming to me. They're hardly at the front of the mix, so their amateurish nature isn't distracting. On the other hand, the keyboards add a ton to this album's sound.

I think being buried somewhere in the middle of the mix makes them worse somehow? I agree that the keyboards really shine in places and bring a lot to the table, there's just a tendency to overdo it on occasion which really spoils the atmosphere for me.

This album kinda grew on me. The vocals are still a bit iffy (both growls and cleans but mostly the growls) but the melodies on this record are top notch.

This is one of those albums that makes me wonder if I'm listening to the same music. It's prob my least fav Amorphis yet it's the best rated here haha. Crazy

Maybe melodeath just ain't your cup of tea. They've really changed their sound from this as they went on, so if you like other Amorphis but not this one, then it's understandable.
