Title: vocals need work
Review: Amorphis is a band that shined when gutteral vocals were used. This style with their excellent musianship struck a chord in my soul. This album has great guitar work, keyboards, percussion and is generally very well orchestrated. The vocals are poor. It really is upsetting because the first 30 seconds of each song are great and then the singing starts and the song goes to hell. The vocals are frequently sung too high and off key and without any emotion whatsoever. I think this album would have been excellent if the style was of the gutteral growl with some selected clean. The bottom line is Amorphis is very talented, and it is a shame that the vocals make this album mundane.
Is the review positive or negative?
