"After being recomended Amorphis by a few people online, I decided to check them out. I found 2 cd's at ZIA (a local record store that sells a lot of hard to find albums). Out of the 2 (Korelian Isthmus, and Chapters), I picked Chapters. After the first few songs, I noticed that this band used clean vocals. With me being a DM fan, I should have been turned off, but I actually enjoyed it. It is very melodic and is fairly similar to Opeth's light sound, just that Amorphis'light sound is a little more rock based. Songs like "alone" and "Northern lights" are great examples of musicianship and skill. The first 7 songs use clean vocals, after that, it goes into DM. What can I say about the DM songs? If you like Melodic DM, then your gonna love this. The whole record spans about 77 mins. It also comes with a dvd with videos on it. Know that Chapters is a compilation cd that takes songs froms Amorphis' past albums to the most recent. I recomend this cd to anyone who is new to Amorphis and whants to check them out. Great cd!!!"

"This is an ok CD but they cut one song (My favorite song) by like 2 minutes. The Song "alone" Which is i think a little over 6 minutes is now a little over 4 minutes. Other then that its a good CD. All the other songs on it are good. I just wish they didnt cut "Alone" the way they did."
