Well done to Amorphis for deciding to re-record twelve tracks from their first three records with “new” singer Tomi Joutsen. Joutsen’s growls are more powerful than Tomi Koivusaari ‘s (Amorphis guitarist who handled lead vocals on the first two albums), and his clean vocals blow away those of former lead singer Pasi Koskinen, who joined the band when “Elegy” was recorded. Not only does Joutsen have a better voice, but he also sings with such great passion that tracks such as “My Kantele” are injected with a vibrancy that was perhaps missing with Pasi. An necessary buy for anyone who considers themselves an old-school Amorphis fan.
