AMORPHIS APPRECIATION[views:2156][posts:26]____________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 8:23pm - arilliusbm ""] (OLDER) AMORPHIS. LAST I HEARD WAS FAR FROM THE SUN BUT GAVE UP. NO IDEA WHAT THE NEWER STUFF SOUNDS LIKE BUT THE OLDER STUFF WAS AWESOME, ESPECIALLY THE KARELIAN ISTHMUS AND PRIVILEGE OF EVIL.. HEAVY FINNISH DEATH METAL. bennyhillifier TALES FROM THE THOUSAND LAKES IS WHEN THEY STARTED TO CHANGE.. BUT THE ALBUM IS A CLASSIC bennyhillifier |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 8:26pm - quintessence ""] I actually like Elegy and some of the later albums. Far from the Sun is horrible however. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 8:26pm - arilliusbm ""] ELEGY IS A GOOD LISTEN TOO |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 8:27pm - SkinSandwich ""] Tales is a great album. I might have to go dust it off. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 18,2010 8:34pm - blue ""] from soooo good to soooo ghey. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 8:37pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Elegy is one of their best. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 9:17pm - My_Dying_Bride ""] i bought silent waters and through it away... never giving this band another chance.... however that first vid sounds like 'As the Flower' style MDB |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 11:08pm - DreadKill ""] i love everything this band has ever done. the last two albums didn't hit me like the rest have, but they're still good. elegy is my favorite. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 18,2010 11:12pm - fuck logging in ""] dig this band. newer stuff sounds like stabbing westward. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 2:15am - quintessence_nli ""] Tales is still my favorite. Probably one of my favorite albums ever actually. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 19,2010 8:06am - boxxy ""] i saw this band in NJ at the NJ-Meltdown in 2000. They were on the relapse stage, and they ruled hard. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 19,2010 8:21am - Yeti ""] Tales is the only album i ever cared about from them. i fell asleep during their set at Metalfest in either 2000 or 01. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 19,2010 8:23am - boxxy ""] well maybe you're Narcoleptic. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 8:43am - Alx_Casket ""] Love their stuff but their live performance at the palladium upstairs a year or two ago was kind of a snorefest. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 9:41am - DreadKill ""] have you guys seen them live with their current singer? he has a lot more stage presence and energy than pasi. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:31am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Early Amorphis is definitive Finnish metal. Tales From the Thousand Lakes is a perfect album from start to finish. (Only Pasi's time spent in Shape of Despair is real.) |

Tales From the Thousand Lakes is a perfect album from start to finish. (Only Pasi's time spent in Shape of Despair is real.) the clean vocals on tales are kind of goofy. pasi made that part of the amorphis experience a whole lot better. tales is a great album though. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:42am - arilliusbm ""] didn't some schmoe do the clean vocals on that album? |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:44am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] The clean vocals never bothered me; I've certainly heard far worse. |
| ________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:45am - goatcatabisk ""] How bout that cover of "Light My Fire"? LOL. Karelian Isthmus or FAGOOT! |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:52am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] I remember back when Meshuggah and Amorphis headlined the NE metal fest around 2000 or 2001. It was almost embarrassing to watch Amorphis after Meshuggah got done destroying the place. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 11:54am - arilliusbm ""] Haha yea. good show guy. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 12:00pm - DreadKill ""] this thread title should be changed to AMORPHIS BASHING THREAD or AMORPHIS: RAVIOLIS IN BAND FORM |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 12:06pm - arilliusbm ""] I've always had a softspot for the moog. |
| _________________________________________ [Aug 19,2010 5:36pm - GregDbass(nli) ""] Love Amorphis. |
