	Amorphis-Tuonela
		Tuonela is made up of shorter and more straightforward compositions, which sees the members of Amorphis concentrating their efforts into writing strong songs instead of experimentation.
		On Tuonela, the keyboards are used mainly as atmospheric enhancement rather than a lead instrumental and at times are barely noticeable.
		That's not to say that there are no harsh vocals on Tuonela, just that they are few and far between, only taking a leading role in "Greed", which sees Pasi handling the Death vocals with as much ease as he does his clean singing.

	Encyclopaedia Metallum - Reviews for Amorphis - Tuonela
		Tuonela is a slow song but too emotional thanks to the great vocal performance.
		Another good songs from Tuonela: Divinity, the single (even though is not the best song from the album); and Shining is one of the songs with an “old rock” style, just as Rusty Moon, but this includes some traditional flute melodies that will make you remember osme kind of jazz, new age, I don’t know.
		Upon hearing Tuonela for the first time, I was completely shocked at how great Tuonela is. I was slightly disappointed with Amorphis "Am Universum" and never gave this a listen until awhile ago and was pleased how it leaned more in Elegy's direction.

	Lemminkäinen
		During the 1890s Lemminkäinen in Tuonela was played as the second movement of the suite, but later Sibelius decided to replace it with The Swan of Tuonela.
		The Swan of Tuonela is a splendid example of dark orchestration and of Sibelius's way of substituting for the pedal of the piano by means of skilful orchestration.
		Sibelius omits the flutes, clarinets and trumpets and raises the strings to the high register, thus leaving room for a long and extremely fine cor anglais solo, which is supported by responses from the cello.

	AMORPHIS - Tuonela/Am universam
		Harder and heavier than the last album, Tuonela is possibly the band's best album so far, and certainly one which should also win them some new fans.
		While much of "Am Universum" is in fact a continuation of "Tuonela," which was a continuation of "Elegy" and more specifically the progressive nature of the "My Kantele" EP, it falls short not of expectation but of the "groundbreaking" acclaim that's been synonymous with their ongoing development.
		That album was a perfect balance of strength and harmony with enough emotive and traditional characteristics to rank as the true class of an ever broadening genre of music they stood at the forefront of for so long.

	ALTARS OF METAL REVIEWS: Amorphis - "Tuonela" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		According to Kalevala (the finnish national epos, as it is described), Tuonela is the underworld.
		As far as the music is concerned, "Tuonela"'s greatest difference to "Elegy" is that there is no keyboard player.
		The atmosphere is not at all melancholic, rather joyful and, although the music's relationship with heavy metal is not particularly strong, this album can be appreciated by those who enjoy the mixture of rock with folk and traditional elements.

	Truemetal.it - True Heavy Metal Online
		E questo Tuonela, diciamolo subito, è un album che non tradisce l’altissima qualità alla quale ci ha sempre abituato il leader Pasi Koskinen.
		Tuonela è un album molto “amorphis”; negli stilemi, ma al contempo prende grandi distanze dal precedente Elegy e dal seguente Am Universum.
		Poche parole, alle quali si contrappongono evoluzioni testuali di tutto rispetto, tra le quali spiccano la tristissima Tuonela (che qualche recensore “autoritario” ha osato accostare a qualche canzone strappalacrime tipiche dei gruppetti pop che infestano le televisioni pubbliche, niente di più falso) e la angosciante, decadente nonché quella forse emotivamente più carica, Summer’s End.

		Those of you who haven't heard 'Tuonela' yet will be glad to know that this is still the case.
		Although what they have given us is clearly heavy metal music, often structured around distorted guitars, beautiful solos, hard-hitting drum rhythms and the occasional welcome appearance of magnificent death metal vocals, they have elaborated on the oriental and northern European folk elements and further pushed the progressive component of their style.
		What makes me even more keenly fond of them though is their exceptional ability to orchestrate so well under what must be a veritable siege from all these ideas in their heads.

	[No title]
		When I first heard Tuonela, I was appalled, shocked, and felt betrayed by the new, softer version of Amorphis.
		Tuonela and now Am Universum have gone two steps beyond the level set on the aforementioned albums, and the band has now completely transitioned into “Amorphis Lite”, as I like to call it.
		Death vocals have been relegated to the role of accent notes, and the entire album is so similar to the last, I was unable to sort out which song belonged to which album when I saw them live last Friday at the Metal Meltdown.

	Reviews for Tuonela (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Tuonela proves the fact that Amorphis are not one of the bands that can be chained to a particular genre or style.
		Their creation is always surprising and even though this may cause a "recycle" of their fans from period to period, it doesn't lessen their artistic merits.
		I like all their creation but Tuonela and Am Universum are the highlights as far as I'm concerned.

	Amorphis Mp3 Albums Review
		The folk motifs on "Weeper on the Shore", the title track, and the instrumental piece "Relief" have also mined the band's next release Tuonela, which is basically a testimony to folk rock with Koskinen doing all clean vocals except one song.
		Tuonela saw the band abandoning its death-metal roots and moving towards a spacey, 70's prog-rock sound, incorporating saxophones and flutes into their already eclectic sound.
		While Tuonela was heavily folk-tinged, their last one, Far from the Sun displays their more modern and guitar-driven updated sound.

		Tuonela, although a dramatic change from 1996's Elegy, was foreshadowed in their My Kantele release, a 5-track EP featuring the two-part "The Brother Slayer".
		Thus, Tuonela ("Underworld" in Finnish) marked the start of a new era for the band, where they explored more folky sounds blending them with Floydian soundscapes and timeless melodies.
		Tuonela presents a more focused songwriting vision, functioning as a perfect transition from the band's new-found progressive roots on Elegy to a more stripped down yet more original sound.

		I think one thing for sure is that we used the same producer and engineer this time, as well.

	Amorphis - Tuonela
		Tuonela is the kind of album that makes you wonder how the band ever got from their primitive Death Metal days to this type of layered, neo-progressive state of affairs.
		However it happened, I'm glad it did because the band are far better for it and have truly placed themselves among the elite and unique of their country.
		Tuonela however, reveals the band shedding that element, save for one track, and blazing new trails.

		Tuonela is a definite change for Amorphis, although I think we've all seen it coming.

		Although the composer thought "Finlandia" (his most popular work) was overrated and obscured his reputation as a symphonist, it's without doubt a phenomenal work.
		Lesser known are his tone poems based on the mythic scenes from the Finnish Kalevala: "The Swan of Tuonela" and "Tapiola".
		Unlike "Finlandia" and his romantically-inspired Violin Concerto, these pieces are harmonically sparse, perhaps intended to reflect the starkly beautiful, monochrome Finnish landscape.

		It is a piece of premonition; there is an underlying malevolence, a disturbing evil lurking in the rolling bass drum and the low harp which turns it into a spectral beauty.
		Vänskä starts very, very slowly and maintains the mood of evil from the previous piece with waves of dark sound from the double basses moving gradually in an accelerando across the string sections with the amazing definition this recording permits.
		In order to win the hand of the daughter of the Northland, Lemminkäinen has been set the task of killing the Swan of Tuonela but is himself ambushed and killed by the son of the Lord of Tuonela who cut his corpse into eight pieces and threw them into the Tuonela river.
