To all who have responded to this album, I salute you all!! Especially those of you of my generation, who had this in their disc player in 1996. It is a wonderful thing, the metal community, who have never met each other, but have that same connection. Nobody will ever know what it feels like to have that bond like the metal brothers and sisters of my generation. Stand tall and know that no matter what life brings, this community stands together in solidarity! Hail to you all!!!!
I haven't listened to this album in decades. I'd forgotten how much I love it. I purchased Karellian Isthmus, 1,000 lakes, Elegy and Tunella within a few days of their release dates. I still have the CD's in a box filled with thousands of CD's in my storage loft. 😅
It was the year 1996 and my first ever summer festival in Nummirock, Finland. I was there with my friend and my also first ever girlfriend. We had so great time there with Deep Purple, Sepultura, Amorphis... At one point I noticed a spoiled c-cassette on the ground when wandering around that huge area. I picked it up(as an old hoarder 🙄) and read: Amorphis Elegy. When I was back home I meticulously rolled the out-ripped tape and placed it into firm frame. And it sounded so great💜🇫🇮 Later in my life I made friends with Pasi 'Öhe' Koskinen (doing clean vocs here ) when he played and sang in Ajattara. After all this our country Finland is small and packed with great music and artists...
Today's music is all about being active on social media. This wasn't the fact in the late 90's and early 00's. That's what made this music so fucking good.
I was 16, in 1996, and this album played its part with Morningrise, Irreligious, The gallery, Draconian Times (Opeth, Moonspell, Dar Tranquillity, Paradise Lost). Great years, great memories never forgotten. These albums still play, still give emotions. Still talk!
1996 - 1977 = 19. so yes i was 19 at the time too, but my first encounter with the band was in late 1992 with The Karelian Isthmus. 1992 was a great year for metal
@@muncialda3586 Same here! I was 25 when this came out, and that was the year my life's playlist was exactly those bands you mentioned! Elegy (Amorphis), Draconian Times (Paradise Lost), Wolfheart (Moonspell), and even 1993's Turn Loose the Swans (My Dying Bride) were constantly in my CD player! 1996 marked a very bad and depressing year for me, and these albums got me through some very rough times! Even though it was not a good year for me, every time I listen to these albums today, it reminds me not of the hard times I had, but how I had the will to overcome the hardships and moved on to better things!!! These bands were my saviors!
Aaaahhhh... this brought back memories of the time I had difficulties sleeping because the songs of this album would play on infinite loop in my head... Amorphis are unique.
amorhpis...i was listening morbid angel and then six feet under and then this came up.i havent heard it over 20 years years...memories when i was 16...good album
Wonderful album! Very creative songs,nice melodies,awesome lyrics! This work has an unique styel,combining elements of Death Metal,Melodic Metal,Progressive Rock keyboards,ethnic music,etc..Great band! A classic form the 90`s! 10!!!
I remember listening to this 20+ years ago It was an incredible time in metal history. The cassette tape that plugged into my discman in my van was high tech.
Dude '95 was the dark ages. Priest, Maiden, Sabbath and many more broken up, 'tullica and Megadeth going down the shitter... Clawfinger, Dog Eat Dog and Faith no More on Magazine covers. Ew. There were some bands coming up under the radar though like Nevermore, Opeth and the whole Black Metal Scene...
I've discovered Amorphis only in 2009, but have been a fan since then. Got to see them live two times. While I think that the new albums are great, no other work from them can surpass Elegy for me.
For me the Tales from the thousand lakes and Elegy are equally the best of Amorphis, I suggest Drowned maid or Into Hiding, my god) I love them from 1995 and they never caused disappointment for me ( Tuonela or Am Universum were the worst but they are good and unique as well). But Tales.. and elegy are flawless
Лучший для тех, кому больше нравится "прогрессивный" Аморфис, чем дэз-думный. Лично я где-то посредине между ними, поэтому Элегия мне тоже очень нравится, но конечно без внеземных восторгов:))
I used to spend summer holidays with my brother back in the late 1990s. We stayed at our grandma up in the attic - a little cosy room with a cassette player. Guess what I discovered there... You are right. If you ask me about a perfect holiday of a lifetime, it'll surely be the same attic 20 years later, LSD, and the very same cassette that I still cherish until this day. TRUE MASTERPIECE.
This album never dies, loved it at first listen the day it came out and here i am in 2020 still banging air drums to Pekka Kasari´s great percussion work. ( miss covering these songs on drums!)
Конечно Сказки тысячи озер и Элегия самые выдающиеся альбомы. Они абсолютно разные, но тем не менее. Ну кто может сравниться с ними? Ну ладно, Тиамат, возможно
The only album I never skip a single moment. Each song is extraordinary on it's own, even the acoustic My Kantele has different vibes than the original one. Best album of all times!!

Fantastico! Remeber of my childhood! I listened only this album from Amorphis, this is not my genre of music, but this nordic melodic metal is grintous!
Better now than back in the day, for me at least... I remember appreciating the band's musicianship, but not being fully won over by this album. Obviously it was me who wasn't ready for this. Now I enjoy every single note of it, masterpiece!
Igual. Para mí Amorphis en la época era Karelian y Tales... No fue sino hasta hace un año que volví a escuchar el Elegy y ahora me encanta. Lo que hace el tiempo......
Better it would be for me And better it would have been Had I not been born, not grown Not been brought into the world Not had to come to this earth Not been suckled for the world If I'd died a three-night-old Been lost in my swaddling hand I'd have needed but a span of doth A span more of wood, But a cubit of goof earth Two words from the priest Three verses from the cantor One clang from the bell Better it would be for me And better it would have been Had I not been born, not grown Not been brought into the world Not had to come to this earth Not been suckled for the world I'd rather die, I'd rather be better unborn If I'd died a three-night-old Been lost in my swaddling hand I'd have needed but a span of doth A span more of wood, But a cubit of goof earth Two words from the priest Three verses from the cantor One clang from the bell Better it would be for me And better it would have been Had I not been born, not grown Not been brought into the world Not had to come to this earth Not been suckled for the world I'd rather die, I'd rather be better unborn
It is a shame - for the rest of the world - that Amorphis is not better known outside of Finland. This is a truly GREAT band! I've been listening to them in New Orleans since 1998. I've always sought the wise counsel of my Finnish friends when it comes to music......
Ever since I first heard this record, I knew my life wouldn't be the same anymore. And so it was. This record is one of those to listen to before you die
I listened to it on and off back in summer of '96 alongside My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost...somehow lost touch over the years...rediscover'd it now and got completely mesmerized!
Esse disco marcou minha adolescência, lembro de escuta-lo toda manhã ao acordar. Muito foda!!! Riffs marcantes com melodias inesquecíveis!!! Está entre meu top 10 dos álbuns marcantes!!!
С точки зрения зрелости и музыкальности,по-прошествии многих лет,этот альбом заходит на ура.Но будучи 18-ти летним,помню как заставлял себя его слушать целиком,но после Black Winter Day E.P. он мне никак не нравился.Однозначно - очень годная работа
Agreed this album is underrated,but this another step to "Amorphis" like professional gruop,and shows them from another side much more wide as professionals like i said before,and those instrumentals so perfect!I think they are best in all doom metall history!Greetings to all doom/metal fans from Russia!!!;-)))& one more question to the funs :where the my lovest composition from this album: "Brother slayer" from this album or am I wrong???
I enjoy listening to every subgenre of metal and rock music, mainstream and underground bands and i do it for 17 years. I believe that this is the greatest album of all time.
DUDE! F-n kove this album!!! I dont know how it didnt get melted and fused into one with my cd player in my old honda accord back in the day? Still so classic and unduplicable. Thats not a word but I am making it a word now. To bad these guys had to bow to the record industry on their follow up album.
Have you not been listening to their recent material. Because there's definitely gutturals there as well. It's just (Mostly) Tunola through Far From the Sun that they dropped it. The latter of which, I think is their only weak album.
I've been more of a Tomi Joutsen fan, but Elegy is really growing on me. I get why people praise Amorphis' early stuff: slightly less formulaic than their new stuff, slightly heavier, slightly more intricate. Makes a world of difference. Compared to Queen of Time's "lol, let's overproduce the album and add a choir to a basic song structure to seem prog"

Not a single weak track. A perfect follow-up to Tales - which is a perfect album in its own right. 90s-era Amorphis rules.
90s era and early 2000 was the best metal era
AMORPHIS YEAHHH
this album is probably 1000 times better than lakes.
@@guardianigorOr even NOT.
There's no 90's without Amorphis - Elegy
Revolutionary for it's time. "Karelian-Tales-Elegy" was their catalyst for metamorphic transformation. Love this era of Amorphis!!
I agree with you 100%
Yeah
100%
Today's music is all about being active on social media. This wasn't the fact in the late 90's and early 00's. That's what made this music so fucking good.
must have listened to this album a 1000 times back in the day, and realize now it stood the test of time. classic timeless masterpiece
My all-time favorite Amorphis release! Timeless beauty in every song, I will go to my grave with this in my soul.
Truly a moment in metal.
bought when i was 19, now i'm 44 and remember this album like a charm,great album and i still have my cd copy!great amorphis :D
Some of my faves are from this album....On Rich and Poor and Against Windows are on my workout Playlist !

This album is so mesmerizing, it is a real masterpiece.

Exactly half my life ago, and I remember like it was yesterday.
Life is short.
Too true!

Mine too, same feeling about this music. Half lifetime and the music feels like I´m just 16.
The whole album is a masterpiece. When I got it, I loved it from first spin.

Amazing album.. Amorphis is one of the bands that made growling the most emotional thing in the world
It was a beautiful thing, wasn't it?!?!
Dont forget theatre of tragedy
Also crematory
This is a magic album, my favorite, unique, unlike anything else, thanks for that, gentlemen
One of the best trips of my life... Thanks for existing AMORPHIS...

@@Hedniskhjertad I discovered them in 1994 and for me its Karelian/Tales from..../Elegy. Awesome albums and awesome souvenirs!
Tales and Elegy are my favorites. So epic
For me Amorphis, Tiamat, Samael, Moonspell, Sentenced, Bathory (among others) shaped my worldview when I was a teenager (long time ago :))
438 likes is a tragedy, this album (and it's predecessor) is legendary.
The best album of AMORPHIS, and one of the best of Progressive Metal.

Two words from the priest
Three verses from the cantor
One clang from the bell
Better it would be for me

Such great use of the double harmonic Major scale on the first track.

My favorite from Amorphis!
Tounela too
Wonderful album!
Amazing album! Still sounds as good 27 years later 🤘
so glad they still had guttural in this album. Needed to be more IMO.
Have you not been listening to their recent material. Because there's definitely gutturals there as well. It's just (Mostly) Tunola through Far From the Sun that they dropped it. The latter of which, I think is their only weak album.
Listen to Under the Red Cloud. More growls than cleans on that album.
Amorphis Elegy, may actually be the best possibly conceivable elegy I have ever heard in this life so far.
For sure a great feeling it is to listen to this and float in memories
Light my fire cover from Amorphis will also always be a classic
th-cam.com/video/hndFp8EMuIU/w-d-xo.html
Must be one of the few albmus with no filler track. Masterpiece. Underated band. If they were from USA and didn't use growls they would be famous.
Tremendo album el mejor para mi.
Perfection!
agreed
Они мастера, это истинно...!!!!!!!
This album reminds me my teens!
Good memories....
A classic in the genre!
Had no idea these were repressed from Relapse. And they are quit expensive cd and vinyl version much more
Vocal Gutural animal. Marca registrada do Amorphis. Que pena q nesse album nao e predominante igual noa anteriores.
clean voice passi koskine ex vocal gutural voice Tomi Koivusaari let him sing on this record, he only plays the guitar
From Tales to Elegy.This is a turning point.
in my top 5 albums of my life...
perfect...
this was my 1st ever cd I bought from my pocketmoney back in 1996, listening to it just now is so amazing, so many memories are coming back :)
I dicovered this band in a batch of promotional CD album... I have a version pre-final...
Very interesting...
I discovered Amorphis on a relapse promo Cd. Must have been about 98/99. Think I still have it somewhere. Neurosis were on the same disk.
+CapriSonnet I got this on a copy casstte around 98...if I remember on the side A was this album and on B side was Samael " ceremony of Opposites"
Best Amorphis album
Agreed.
Best is "Tales From The Thousand Lakes". This one is good but it's where Amorphis ended actually. The rest of their music is sugarized soft rock. Sad.
Fill the same way.
when style evolved, it's called "progression"
Ivan Malek Tales is the best for me. Second is this.
Последний великий альбом Аморфиса👍❤️❤️❤️
I remember the first time I heard this when I was probably 16 and thought it was an absolute masterpiece and an amazing progression from Tales.
Brutal and clear vocals, Amorphis Best melodic, death metal band ever
Masterpiece....
I had this on c-cassette. And cd. And Vinyl.
Old school never dies...
Something about this album tells me not to be greedy and be grateful if we have everything in our humble lives

I've been more of a Tomi Joutsen fan, but Elegy is really growing on me. I get why people praise Amorphis' early stuff: slightly less formulaic than their new stuff, slightly heavier, slightly more intricate. Makes a world of difference.
Compared to Queen of Time's "lol, let's overproduce the album and add a choir to a basic song structure to seem prog"
This one is ofc masterp. RIP Petri
