All covers? Bold approach to a new release.

I did not know two artists here and looked them up, but I'm intrigued, i'll definitely listen to this when it comes out.

After a first listen I am very impressed, close to an all killer no filler album, but the Mike Oldfield cover does nothing for me, I also think the (original) song was not great in the first place.

All songs get the Anubis Gate treatment, not simple rendition of the original songs. The covers sound quite unique I dare say, quite a few surprises, I did not expect to love this so much.

Absolutely. Initially I was (most likely distracted) underwhelmed. Now, I'm all in. It's great. They really make these classic songs their own while, at the same time, respecting the originals.

I was sceptical at first, but Covered In Colours is actually really good cover album. Not only are the performances top notch, but the songs are very wisely chosen lesser known high quality stuff you wouldn't necessarily start comparing to the originals in your mind while listening. They even added lots of their own personality into the mix instead of just performing someone else's music note to note.

You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!

Oh man, is 'To France' ever mega reminiscence of the exact sound of what we know and love about Amorphis. So good.

Old albums was good, but this is well, when you lost inspirations and half changed original music, I did not like it so much, I know all original ones, but Only ozzy and Ac/Dc I like moust, but here recording was bad, I did not like it, disappointment to me.

Life is to short for LOVE, there is many great things to do online !!!

Just discovering this album three years later, it's pretty sweet. That Pink Floyd inspired version of AC/DC's Back In Black is gold, among others.
