 Nice intro, Recent stuff Bad Dec 24, 2003
I won't go beyond Amorphis' third album, Elegy. It was their fluffy masterpiece, but they lost their juice when they resorted instead to soundscapes from bad 80's metal music, which was partly due to the addition of woeful singer, Pasi, who sings with a monotonous harmony. Ironic enough, he sings on Elegy, only in bites, which doesn't really effect the album. What made Amorphis great in their early days was that their music, which always tried be progressive, was focused and they tried to manifest that their death metal roots. Compared to the more recent stuff, Amorphis had a sort of simplicity to them, both lyrically and musically. Drowned Maid, is a testament to that philosophy--even, Tomi's growls blend seamlessly into the guitars, and it doesn't sound bloated. Alone, on the other hand, is the type of sound that drew away a lot of people with Tuonela--Kenny G saxaphones and bad singing.

chapters Oct 12, 2003
Amorphis after a decade release this as there greatest hits spaning there entire career. There are some extreamly good tracks on this cd, but overall it lacks quallity. The dvd dosnt add much to this purchase at all, but this is a good intro to amorphis. \m/

 Great for yor first Amorphis purchase Aug 06, 2003
After being recomended Amorphis by a few people online, I decided to check them out. I found 2 cd's at ZIA (a local record store that sells a lot of hard to find albums). Out of the 2 (Korelian Isthmus, and Chapters), I picked Chapters. After the first few songs, I noticed that this band used clean vocals. With me being a DM fan, I should have been turned off, but I actually enjoyed it. It is very melodic and is fairly similar to Opeth's light sound, just that Amorphis'light sound is a little more rock based. Songs like "alone" and "Northern lights" are great examples of musicianship and skill. The first 7 songs use clean vocals, after that, it goes into DM. What can I say about the DM songs? If you like Melodic DM, then your gonna love this. The whole record spans about 77 mins. It also comes with a dvd with videos on it. Know that Chapters is a compilation cd that takes songs froms Amorphis' past albums to the most recent. I recomend this cd to anyone who is new to Amorphis and whants to check them out. Great cd!!!
