Tornano gli Amorphis, dopo un controverso "Ad Universum" (2001).
Sempre più inseriti nel contesto delle sonorità seventies, gli (ex) grandissimi Amorphis si sono arenati, sì, perché "Far From The Sun" è un mezzo passo falso.
Ad eccezione della title track, godibile, ci troviamo di fronte ad un album incompiuto, prodotto non benissimo e troppo, troppo piatto. Le idee sono confuse, si va dall'atmosfera di "Day of Your Beliefs" al REGGAE (sì, REGGAE!!!) di "Ethereal Solitude".
Oltre alla produzione, spicca-in negativo-la prova vocale di Pasi Koskinen, troppo "monocorde".
Consigliato solo ai fans sfegatati degli Amorphis (che lo comprerebbero comunque) e agli amanti del pop ripetitivo e sfibrante, nonché a coloro che hanno tanti, tanti soldi da spendere. A voi la decisione!
In rete si possono trovare mp3 gratuiti e legali degli Amorphis. Ce ne sono solo alcune (per ovvi motivi di copyright).
Consigliate (si fa per dire) solo "Far From The Sun" e "Day of Your Beliefs" che nonostante tutto prese a sé stanti sono carine; appunto, carine e niente più.
Sanno fare di meglio, gli Amorphis, sicuramente. Confidiamo in una loro prossima uscita.
Per chi ancora non li conoscesse, comprate invece Tuonela, un gran bel disco!

02 Planetary Misfortune (04:27)
I hear you
hear your worthless speech
unheard and sensational
feeding my comprehension
let me see beyond all additional
show me something real
something low and dramatical
when all this sinful glittery
is still too much to see
taste the death from my hand
cleanse your senses
take the death from my hands
please your senses
I fear you
planetary misfortune
who will pray for my hallucinations
I'm not attuned
when you fold your hands
it's a wave of the salvation
and their slaves are their kings
futility of this creation
stand before the illusionist
the man of misapprehension
taste the death from my hand
cleanse your senses
take the death from my hands
please your senses
03 Evil Inside (03:57)
Kiss the devil's mark
like a self-denial without temptation
she suffers from shame
prodigious perversions
it's her final dimension
feel affection for her longings
lamentation for no reason why
deep mistrust over matter
seduce it's will to melt away
she's plagued with pain
making me insane
passionate repulsion
kiss the evil inside
that you cannot deny
smiling at your sufferings
feel affection for her longings
lamentation for no reason why
deep mistrust over matter
seduce its will to melt away
06 Ethereal Solitude (04:30)
Blackness falls on empty calmness
the night is full
I kissed the frozen sweetness
the mist around my grief
don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound
alone and isolated
ethereal solitude
you can keep all your secrets
there's no one to hold on to
don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound
don't let the past wear you down
let go of the life that haunts you tonight
don't let the silence take the sound
09 Higher Ground (05:39)
I climb to the higher ground
to see what's behind the sun
step on the hands made out of clay
the hands of stained mortals
all there is and all you'll have
bless the one who cannot cry
there is no night
there is no sunlight
until you refuse to die
I'd let you sleep now
but I don't know how
I'd let you grieve now
but I don't know how
I chant the songs of madness
to be the chosen one
still all these bleeding wounds
cannot be cured by sadness
all there is and all you'll have
bless the one who cannot cry
there is no night
there is no sunlight
until you refuse to die
I'd let you sleep now
but I don't know how
I'd let you grieve now
but I don't know how
10 Smithereens (04:53)
I let you take
this breeding sorrow
you're too close to see
as the pride inside of you
is smashed to smithereens
this fire hunts the soulless and the weak
bursting out the madness in me
and through all the that fear I have to keep
I still pretend to be real
you can't resist
all those fools beside you
spread your arms and share
this hatred with me
as it smashes your soul to smithereens
this fire hunts the soulless and the weak
bursting out the madness in me
and through all the that fear I have to keep
I still pretend to be real
