"ha, i think what he meant is that they don't necessarily need to fit the mold of what they are expected to play music wise. Want a moog solo on a metal record, go for it, want an all out Spanish dance break in the middle of a song, sure thing."

i dunno what you mean with that but i'm pretty sure that's not the case in most finnish music. most of it is very by-the-numbers

I was referring to this album, and more specifically interpreting Egarran's comment. I agree this probably doesn't apply to most Finnish music.

well yeah these guys deserve their acclaim as they were somewhat inventive, at least compared to most other finnish metal bands

You're both correct. I base my generalizations on watching hours of weirdo online Finns.

Just how amazing is My Kantele? Far and away the best track here.

So amazing, that they decided to make a separate EP, and an acoustic version. The title track might be my favorite. I love how the growls are panned left and right on the climax. Listening to it on headphones is very cool.

Yeah, I kinda 5 a lot, but I 5 whenever I feel like 5ving. When an album really sticks, when I feel it's something special and something really memorable, it's a 5 in my crappy and subjective way of handing out ratings.

All Amorphis albums are good, but this one is unique.

Lot's of sentimental value with this one. Discovered this when first getting into European metal and I still enjoy it a lot. Best Pasi era Amorphis for me.

It may not be in their top tier, but certainly one of the most interesting.

How many genres on this album?



I hear prog rock, heavy metal, (melo)death, techno, easy listening, folk and maybe a touch of BM.
