Amorphis – “Far From the Sun”
It’s the Finnish hippies again! Their style is pretty much a trippy, hippy-type of rock that sounds melodic, but not too sweet. There’s a certain hippy rock vibe, a 70s prog rock feel, a stoner rock (but polished stoner rock) sentiment running through the album. This time around I don’t hear saxophones, like in the past. If you have heard them before, this sounds like them, alright. If you haven’t, and you like that 70s prog/hippy rock thing, then you might like this. Personally, this sounds kind of cool for the first five minutes and then I want to listen to some metal (or some Shania Twain, which is saying the same thing, right?).
