I actyally LOVE, LOVE, LOVE mr.Joutsen growlin. It’s so deep and dark. And in Amorphis, there is harsh vocals and so beautiful cleen vocals put together, that it makes a perfect harmony. I’m not fan of all growling songs, but in these song it gives a nice flavour. And my absolutely favourite is the bee 🤘.
Amorphis is my favourite band and I'm so glad you are liking them, Jim!! I'm looking forward to seeing you discover their long and varied discography, I hope you'll film more reactions!
In my opinion each era of Amorphis has merits. The middle era is very catchy prog metal. Some really great songs on Tuonela and even the maligned Far from the sun is definitely worth a listen
This band are incredibly consistent. Since about 2005 they've never dropped below a 7/10, in my opinion. My favourite albums during this time are Under the Red Cloud and Eclipse, with this being either 3rd of 4th. They have a phenomenal track record since Tomi joined and I wouldn't be surprised to think that people had different preferences in that run of albums. I feel like UtRC and Eclipse just have a little more stardust than the others, especially UtRC which just has an energy that when it came out had them feeling totally renewed.
I like the last 2 Amorphis albums best ... I like this melodic metal and also Tommy's growling ... one of the few ones I really like. Jim, this time you read a lot of informations from the album ... but one interesting thing you missed : some guy named Pekka Hainulainen wrote all the lyrics in finnish and then they were translated 🤘
Thanks for listening, Jim! I trust you've found them to be a worthy addition to the ranks of prog metal greatness. 😁 I've wondered about the bonus tracks not being included on the original release. In my opinion they absolutely deserve to be there. Perhaps as Rudi suggested, it was a marketing decision.
Wheel is in my upcoming Finnland mixtape, but I never heard or read of Somehow Jo ... so I will check them out. Other than that do you know the Von Hertzen Brothers ?
@@juhavaris2144 thank you, did you see my finnish mixtape ... you know, what happened ... I usually "compose" my mixtapes in my mind, sometime later I write them down. This time I forgot another good band : Swallow the Sun ... what do you think ?

Sorry, Jim. This IS pop music trying to disguise itself with growly vocals and loud guitars and, though I listened to all four videos, I was more interested in my emails and the current Open leaderboard to really pay close attention. Is it done yet? 😴🙂
Please react more to this band🤩🤩🤩🤩
Joutsen is indeed a powerhouse of a singer. His death-growls are absolutely savage while is clean vocals are crystal clear.

I have no doubt that I will. Loved it!
Thanks Jim, it was nice listening to one of my favorite band's records with you. I'll stay tuned if this was right up your alley 🤘
Looking forward to seeing you explore more Amorphis!
Yes, definetly! Me too! Either way, forward (Halo) or backward (Red Cloud or Circle) would be fine with me.
Nice reaction. You should hear a bonus song from this album, called Honeyflow. It will blow your mind! :D
I m not a big fan of bonus tracks but in this album I think the bonus tracks are reallyyyy good🤘
After Joutsen joined (the vocalist) they have really shined. So don't bother for really old material soon. Thanks for listening 👍
Hey, Thousand Lakes and Elegy are absolutely fantastic albums in their own right!

IMO growling ruins everything. Without growling this were a masterpiece. But so it is not for me.
Welcome back, lange nix von dir gelesen ...hast du deinen Spanien Aufenthalt verlängert ? Ich hoffe, es geht dir gut 🤘
That's unfortunate, Tomi's in particular are outstanding in the genre.
