    The best works from Amorphis in my opinion, Tales from the Thousand Lakes and Elegy, have a certain exoticism and folk atmosphere (not as in folk metal, but a feeling of real connection with the foundations of northern Europe). This isn't just in the lyrics, but also the melodies and tone. 

    With Queen of Time, I'm hearing a modern commercial album in the vein of Nightwish and other Finnish melodic bands that is very well put together, but doesn't have much more than that. As I'm getting to know the album better, I can say that The Bee, The Golden Elk and Wrong Direction are really stunning, emotional songs in the best of the modern Amorphis tradition. But at the same time there just seems to be so much filler or sub-par material on here, especially on the back half of the album. I've also noticed (for a few albums now) that the music written by keyboardist Santeri Kallio is significantly better than that written by Esa Holopainen. Not every time, but most of it. Same deal here. As they split the writing about 50/50 you end up with a lopsided release. 

    If there is one main criticism of the albums from Skyforger through to Queen of Time, it's that each album has Iron Maiden levels of filler - about three or four killer tracks with the same number of mediocre cuts. 

    Req I also owned queen of time  its  great record I just think they are getting the timing back with Ollie that rejoined them plus the fact it has great stuff  i heard three tracks from youtube it’s great  I enjoyed it immediately  wait till they starting writing with Ollie again they will good  buddy wait and see  lappa will be in a major force in the song waiting category
