Wow. This song brings me way back. It reminds me of spending a winter when I was 13 frequently listening to this EP and playing Warcraft on my computer. Good memories.
Tomi Joutsens voice is just so brutal and powerfull. I loved the old Black Winter Day, but Tomi makes this song sound so much more powerfull. One word, Awesome
The vocals are less forced and more doomy, and the keyboard line that makes the piece is much more haunting. I even prefer the clean vocals in the original.
Not saying this is terrible but the original is leagues ahead, a piece of magic.
This is actually better than the old version. I like Tomi's vocals much more (I never liked the old stuff so much). He's Finland's best growler and I also like the increase bass volume in the Magic And Mayhem 2010 album. All the songs kick ass
I like both new and old versions.There is nothing wrong in changing some stuff.It's their music,they can fuck with it in whichever way they want,and that's true atr.And the almost-8-bit part makes it awesome.You don't like it,hit the road or your head on a wall.
ich finde, es klingt viel kraftvoller als vorher und das mag ich - klar es ist ne ganz andere atmosphäre und ich mag das alte ja auch sehr. Aber das hier favorisiere ich halt :)
@Oidahead I'm right there with you. The "...Thousand Lakes" CD originally made me a fan, particularly the original version of this song. However, I love Tomi Joutsen's voice and I think everything sounds better with him. This is just ridiculously good and this band has one of the best sounds in music.
Damn this is terrible, and grats to them on an album cover that looks like some sort of big bass fishing game for the playstation. By the way, liking a band's older stuff doesn't make you a hipster...in the case of Amorphis it means you like good music.
@Geistclan Liking the old stuff doesn't make you a hipster, but completely bashing the new stuff makes you a hipster. And that big fish on the cover is the monstrous pike from the tales of Kalevala.
@Geistclan You sir, might suffer from the terrible disease called "being stupid"... You're allowed to prefer the old amorphis, but for fucks sake, stop being an uptight asshole about it.. If you listen to the instrumentation of the song and analyse the vocals, you would find out, that it as a matter of fact, still is (very) good music..
And talking shit about the pike just makes you look like an ignorant idiot.
I find the song to be re-masted excellently and all also the new decorations sound pretty good, it does sound better from the original version but that's just the my opinion regarding the sound. though to me the original is much has much value and essence
Kauhia suruvirsi taas menossa remakeista. Niin loistavat viisut kuin Black Winter Day eivät laimene minnekään, vaikka niistä tekisi vähän uudelleentulkintaa.
The magic in Amorphis has no limits! I'm amazed by their work in this album. Considering the change on the vocalist and the time between the production of Tales from the Thousand Lakes to this album, obtaining something similar to the original album is almost impossible, and I think they made it with this album. Honestly, I like better the old one, but this one is in fact very good... even my favorite song from them "Song Of The Troubled One" sounds very good on this album.
DAMNIT why is everybody such a sissy about "old was better" ? xD its like you say "windows 98 was better, cuz it had charme" :D the old versions sounded kinda crappy, admit it! they were good, but this one is very good and brings the new singer in, which is their identity now!
Both the old and the new version kick ass. The original version had that special old-school scandinavian metal feeling, the new one sounds modernly well-polished. Guys at Amorphis always made good stuff.
@Arctica14 hmm.. Well I can tell you Amorphis has a huge fanbase in Bulgaria, so don't judge anything! I personally love them and in fact ADMIRE tham for having gone through so many changes in style and in other aspects and still being so amazing and unique.I am not sure how I was supposed to take this comment, but I think you are a bitch right now. Cheers from Bulgaria!
@Arctica14 WHAT THE HELL!!???! How come you judge ALL Bulgarians because of one Bulgarian's opinion?!?! I'm sure there are many people that come from your country (Finland) that prefer the old version, too. Does that make the ALL the Finnish people faggots?! NO!!! But sure -- Eastern Europe is made of 3rd hand people, right!!!!!! I'm telling you - one day the world will see that we are PEOPLE TOO!! And we've got very talented musicians here, too!! JUST WAIT AND SEE!!!
@Bitterflyify Everyday I hear about how much the United States sucks. Do I get all butthurt about it? No, so stop your bitching and just enjoy the damn music.
@PSNBloodraid No, you see... That wasn't my point. What I was trying to say is that I hate how people are put in the frames of nationality, race, gender or reliegion. This is fxckin stupid! As is judging them by those frames. Nothing personal to anyone, no offence or anything.... I just hate seeing the human race most divided at probably the HARDEST times in history... when we should stand united - no matter who we are and where we are...
Sorry, i admit is a great song, but the original that i heard for the first time 3-4 years, is trully best. it is the greatest song i've ever heard. so i say to listen the original \m/
To be honest, i like Tomi Joutsen much more as singer and this version is brilliant, but older version was much more.. "Kalevala", not in that way that newer amorphis wouldn't be too, but more is always more :D
Through art you learn, and progress comes.. get used to it .. since the 1st day amorphis evovle! About the flamers.. its shame that some listeners stay in one band and wanna hear the same old song every day. People need to have open mind to see throught the motions of the new sound. Shame on you...
i dont care if its better or worst , for something its a new version and not a remastered one , if you prefere the old , just listen that one and its over :)
Is ugly this voice ....not is like Tomi was better .... I dont like me .... the good times not come back .... the voice sounds like Nu Metal ....Fuck off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I, as well, prefer the original to this one, *BUT* this one is pretty damn good too. I like the way they went after Tuonela. So many other bands don't change their sound and they get stale and old. Amorphis changed their sound and they sound better. They sound fuller and more ambient. And that's what makes a great band. The ability to change your sound and still sound awesome.
@ThorgalsWalhalla We (i.e. the faithful) would not be very happy under that turn of events. Wallow in your bitterly conservative bigotry if you must but please avoid inflicting your unjustified opinions on us. You do poor credit to the band.
@ThorgalsWalhalla "i don`t i even wanna wear a shirt of them" Are you trying to make me laugh my head off? Is you posing now ruined as you can no more wear Amo-shirt? :DDD Such a true barbarian VIking stright from the Valhalla's hall of heroes. You're pathetic.
I've concluded that I love both the original and the revisions... The original was amazing and this is a wonderful "tribute" to that. In context to their newer material, I like that this meshes well with it. Of course there is no way in hell I'd part with my original copy of Tales from the Thousand Lakes. \m/
@Arctica14 Right, because voicing my opinion about this shitty version of a truly outstanding song constitutes trolling. /slapface
The truth of the matter is that the legacy of a truly epic (a term vastly overused, yet in this case completely applicable) and groundbreaking album has been tarnished by the very band who created it by recording these awful covers. Tell me, what substance do you find here over the original? You are probably too young to appreciate the original anyways.
@blutundboden I appreciate the old version! I never said that i don't. But i prefer the new versions of their style. Live with it! I appreciate your point of view. And no, i didn't mean that voicing your own opinion is trolling. The way of you pointing out your opinion is what i meant was trolling.Saying that amorphis "fucked up" their own legacy with rerecording their old songs isn't very convincing way of saying your own "opinion". Don't bother to answer if you can't say your point properly.
@Arctica14 I think it's quite obvious to everyone that I am much more adept at eloquently expressing my point than you are. The saddest thing about this is I have to listen to this awful cover every time I come back to retort you.
its ok , but i really cant imagine why they did this to theyr own music,amorphis its one of the best melodic metal in the world i started to listen their music since i was a kid , but thousand lakes never will be better than the original they maked back in time, remakes is not the amorphis style
@Arctica14 They're butchering their own work, thinking erroneously that this way they'll reach a wider audience. Same thing George Lucas did with the original Star Wars trilogy. Greedy fucks. Maybe they should release an album covering Lady Gaga's songs. No artistic integrity whatsoever.
The only thing I would say is bad that the guitar sounds to clean and the keyboards actually don't seem to done as well as the last one.
Everything else is done better, I think a lot of people will choose to hate remakes of a song because they either want to show opinion's that would appease metal elitists or fall victim to an "Original is always better way of thinking" that spawned of of people comparing books to movies.
I would say it's pointless to remake a song but it was done very well.
@matzchase I wouldn't say you have to like it but I am making a conjecture here that you are looking for something that isn't there. Something you wouldn't even begin to try and bother questioning or looking for when you listened to the old song.
You could say that it's not as empowering. This song is a remake, doesn't really convey as much of the message that it did when the song was first created but like composing doesn't mean a song is done poorly because Tchaikovsky doesn't orchestrate it.
@PaiMeiHefeweizen Sorry but I disagree. Different periods in a band's life make for different music.The band members, your age, financial situation, how angry you are, how experienced you are with your instrument, etc.....Ozzy's Crazy Train is shit live now as Aerosmith plays better than they've ever played. Why? Who knows. This performance is really good, but, like I said earlier, there's a little something missing.
It's a GREAT re-make in my opinion. Okey the original is a masterpiece and generally all the Tales of a Thousand lakes is a fuckin masterpiece but the re-makes are not bad at all. And personally I like that Tomi does some growling again (not just 5 seconds in Silent waters) and Joutsen's voice is good and suits their style.
Also what I like is that everyone contributes to the songs. it's not one that writes all the songs and the others just follow.
I prefer the original. The original had more of that doomdeath feel to it, with this versio i think they have given it more of the swedish/finnish melodic death metal feel.
Hahaha...... a really constructive post.... what are u a fucking fag? Wanna help me fuck mysealf?What are u 14yo?17yo?I really dont like this version, the voice is not enough deep for me....what is wron with u?Are u member of Amorphis, do u jack of when listening to this song?
Go fuck uresealf....WTF???? The same response as i get from people that listen to the new paradise lost, when i said, that for me the true band is the one that made Lost Paradise.
Another emo? No, i'm not deaf..... oh sorry it would be better if i was blind....u cant understand that i dont like this version and if u masturbate like hell on this new version...well good for u, u have the right to like it and i have the right to dislike it. This version is cleaner i like more original versions. U like Opeth like i do, yet u speak like a retarded guy....ok not every Opeth fan can be inteligent...
either old or new...this still amorphis...im still love it!

@blutundboden I appreciate the old version! I never said that i don't. But i prefer the new versions of their style. Live with it! I appreciate your point of view. And no, i didn't mean that voicing your own opinion is trolling. The way of you pointing out your opinion is what i meant was trolling.Saying that amorphis "fucked up" their own legacy with rerecording their old songs isn't very convincing way of saying your own "opinion". Don't bother to answer if you can't say your point properly.

@Arctica14 I think it's quite obvious to everyone that I am much more adept at eloquently expressing my point than you are. The saddest thing about this is I have to listen to this awful cover every time I come back to retort you.

its ok , but i really cant imagine why they did this to theyr own music,amorphis its one of the best melodic metal in the world i started to listen their music since i was a kid , but thousand lakes never will be better than the original they maked back in time, remakes is not the amorphis style

This is terrible. Are they trying to be the "George Lucas" of music?

@piter923 No, they are not trying to be George Lucas of music. And where in the fuck did you ripped that out?
Arctica14 10 months ago
@Arctica14 They're butchering their own work, thinking erroneously that this way they'll reach a wider audience. Same thing George Lucas did with the original Star Wars trilogy. Greedy fucks. Maybe they should release an album covering Lady Gaga's songs. No artistic integrity whatsoever.

The only thing I would say is bad that the guitar sounds to clean and the keyboards actually don't seem to done as well as the last one.
Everything else is done better, I think a lot of people will choose to hate remakes of a song because they either want to show opinion's that would appease metal elitists or fall victim to an "Original is always better way of thinking" that spawned of of people comparing books to movies.
I would say it's pointless to remake a song but it was done very well.

No. It lacks something that the original had.....

@matzchase I wouldn't say you have to like it but I am making a conjecture here that you are looking for something that isn't there. Something you wouldn't even begin to try and bother questioning or looking for when you listened to the old song.
You could say that it's not as empowering. This song is a remake, doesn't really convey as much of the message that it did when the song was first created but like composing doesn't mean a song is done poorly because Tchaikovsky doesn't orchestrate it.
PaiMeiHefeweizen 11 months ago
@PaiMeiHefeweizen Sorry but I disagree. Different periods in a band's life make for different music.The band members, your age, financial situation, how angry you are, how experienced you are with your instrument, etc.....Ozzy's Crazy Train is shit live now as Aerosmith plays better than they've ever played. Why? Who knows. This performance is really good, but, like I said earlier, there's a little something missing.

THIS IS A HYMN OF METAL... PLEASE PLAY IT AS IT DESERVE!!!!!!

It's a GREAT re-make in my opinion. Okey the original is a masterpiece and generally all the Tales of a Thousand lakes is a fuckin masterpiece but the re-makes are not bad at all. And personally I like that Tomi does some growling again (not just 5 seconds in Silent waters) and Joutsen's voice is good and suits their style.
Also what I like is that everyone contributes to the songs. it's not one that writes all the songs and the others just follow.

I prefer the original. The original had more of that doomdeath feel to it, with this versio i think they have given it more of the swedish/finnish melodic death metal feel.
