I'm just discovering them (waaay too late!) and have finished their discography for the first time, but Tuonela is definitely my favorite. Elegy and Am Universum are only a little behind.

Elegy peak Amorphis, but Tuonela (especially that, i agree), and Am Universum are indeed VERY close behind!

Possibly a banned user? Idk, either way i disagree with the take of Amorphis "not changing at all for the past 20 years", sure, they're more formulaic than they used to be, but i wouldn't go quite that far, they certainly throw some surprises here and there sometimes. Besides, if it's a good formula that works, why does it matter? No need to fix something that's not broken!

Let the nuclear blast grow a dick upon their foreheads as they killed the sound of yet another good band.

Really like the Joutsen era too, but they're certainly way more formulaic now. 1994-2001 still peak Amorphis, but again i still love the majority of their albums, really solid discog from the most part!

Idk why, but the clean voice of Pasi Koskinen reminds me a bit of Ville Laihiala, not that the music on Tuonela and AM Universum was anything similar to Sentenced or his other projects, but the voice is a bit similar to me.

but then have no offence if you took your whupass from Russia once again. As it's partially Russian music too, metaphorically at least, while the others keep listen to ghost or fucking power metal.

As I already said I didn't want to bother you but seems here are still some misunderstandings. I don't care about ghost really. But all this words and mind clichés like "metal brothers", "bad russia", "take your territorries", "imperialism", or "poor ukrainians" really suck if you are living in EU. Stop dancing to the tune! Metal is about to be extreme, or even anti-social, not for lawful crybabies, not for fucking brothers.

I hate "metal brothers" and I am annoyed by metal culture. What I am even more annoyed by is misguided attempts at being edgy or free-thinking that drive people to parrot warmongering propaganda of a fascist country. I may be highly critical of the west but I am well enough informed of the situation (from non-official sources as well and since way before the current invasion began) to know who is the invader and who is the defender, and adopting blatantly misinformed and destructive ideas just because "you don't want to dance to the tune" is childish, infantile and just fucking stupid, but is a common disease among "anti-current thing" edgelords who have no knowledge or ideology beyond negating whatever is told to them out of spite. Go back to kindergarten.

The first attemps of flaming here were not from me as you can see. The invasion to Suomi was but a Soviet problem, not mine. Such a 'democratic' Churchill for example also didn't recognize the sovereingnty of any country which were supposed to be just a bridgeheads for Hitler. That was a WW2 strategy as like as both Soviets and British occupied Iran later, or like Hitler occupied Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, etc. That's war where people shall divide and rule, where liberal and pseudodemocratic moanings like yours are not actual thing against fascism... The fact that finns were ruled by the warlord that's far more Russian than any russians back then makes the history great again. And I can imagine like someone playing 'death metal' in a way of playing Scorpions or fucking Queen and celebrating "the independence day" that was given them by Soviets themselves (-sic!) with the same chuckleheads in his country, oughhh... But all you should know, this is metal, not netflix!

Thousand Lakes really is something else! Not sure it's still my favorite, hard to choose from any of the 1994-2001 albums, as those 4 are all so great. New stuff's amazing too, especially from Circle onwards (+ Skyforger), but not quite on the level of this stuff!

everything 1992-2007 is different from each other, it's seems like after skyforger they've found their comfort zone, and i don't really have a problem with that.

Unpopular opinion: IMO Tuonela and AM Universum are the greatest Amorphis albums, far superior to early material and more eclectic and dark/alternative than the post 2007 albums. Eclipse was the last album of this kind, it's because the music was composed before Tomi Joutsen arrived. Pasi Koskinen is my favourite Amorphis vocalist.

I have a soft spot for Tuonela and Eclipse, that era seemed far more imaginative and daring than the current slog of by-the-numbers releases. Silent Waters and Circle are very good while Under The Red Cloud and Skyforger are classics, but the rest (and especialy the recent albums) feel very hit or miss while being extremely predictable in style and execution. You can rehash the exact same formula only for so long before even good releases start to sound bland. Up until early Tomi era they seemed to reinvent themselves constantly and I miss that dearly.

I suppose so, there's probably someone out there whose favourite Maiden record is Virtual XI too. It's just that Eclipse was such a total copout of a record, a half-arsed attempt to return to a past sound with a new singer with a totally generic voice. An end to a period where Amorphis were a truly interesting band, pushing genre boundaries and writing more interesting music than their peers. And then... Eclipse.

I’m utterly baffled. They're trying way too hard on this one, too much "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks", too much out of place complexity for compexity's sake (and it's not even complex to begin with, it just feels cumbersome), too much heaviness for heaviness' sake and out of place growls, overall the album feels like rambling gibberish at times (which makes it oddly monotone). But I didn't hate it and some parts I do like a lot, I think the second half is waaay better than the first one, and the few times they legit try something new out (e.g. black-trashy-stoner-ish The Wolf which is a show stealer) it does kinda' work out. But overall it feels like they're lost at sea and desperately need a new sound. Again. 7/10 I guess I liked it.

Totally, this album is so inconsistent and also boring at the same time. For example, they throw orchestrations in the mix just to have it without any consideration and it just sounds bad. Like random orchestral section out of nowhere. I don't even hate orchestrations in general, at all quite the opposite, but on this album they just don't fit in. On Pyres of the Coast the orchestrations built upon already amazing track and they clearly had a place there at the end of the album. Also, this album has so many tracks that just simply flow past you with any point of grasping them, unlike on Queen of Time where every single track was jamming, rocking and overall easier to grasp. I'm not even a new Amorphis listener, started somewhere with AM Universum days and believe or not this is simply their worst album especially of Joutsen-Era.

I really felt it as the "too much album". It's not bad in itself, but the melodies, the riffs, the choruses, I really feel like I've heard them 150 times before. And it gets even more easy-listening and quite easy to apprehend, yet very uninspired this time.

Amorphis have created two great albums. A fascinating combination of Death Metal and Folk at the right time. After that, they never reached that feat again. They were never bad, but since they have never convinced me , although I've tried many times.
