| One of the best 2007 albums, and an amazing Amorphis album. |
|
|
|
totally agree with the review.
one of the best albums of '07. grat songs like towards and against, a servant and weaving the incantation, it's just addictive.  |

Hmm, "death vocals here and there"? To my mind there's at least 50% of them 
And it's good indeed! |
|
|
|
| Good but not better than Eclipse at all |
|
|
|
| I've never really got into Eclipse and never got what the hype about the album was about. As a matter of fact I've never entirely got into Amorphis at all save for a few songs from each album. The more I was surprised when I gave Silent Waters a try and got totally blown away! I still can't get into the opening track, but DAMN, everything afterwards just totally owns! Especially "Her Alone" is such an utterly beautiful song and "Towards and Against" might just be the best tune I've heard last year. Definitely a 9! |
|
|
|
| If we have the same opinion about good songs I have to get this album (found like half of the songs on eclipse amazing) |
|
|
|
The album is good, same style than eclipse, but not better. If you like it and haven't listen eclipse, give it a try!  |
|
|
|
| For i while i couldn't pallet Pasi Koskinen's vocals. Even on legendary tracks like Against Widows, Pasi was the only factor that I never fully grasped. Where I still prefer to listen to the karelian isthmus melo-death era, I still love amorphis for their incredibly distinct sound, progressive takes on genre, and captivating melodies. I thought both eclipse and silent waters were great albums. |
|
|
|
| Despite having a doomish feeling in a few of their songs (particularly Weaving The Incantation), I enjoyed this album a lot. Good review. |

Thought that eclipse was "the" album from Amorphis, but no, it's Silent Waters.  |
|
|
|
| I bit overrated IMO, but still a good album |

This one is full of epic element,
I agree, even in the "accoustic" tracks like "Enigma". Speaking of it, is it based on a Kalevala story?
They're dark btu they're still epic, and they're still catchy, and full of strenght.
I've been relistening to this album this week and it's amazing, TBH I hadn't listened to it carefully enough. |

Amazing album. Voices are just perfect. And the melodic side is really nice. Nothing to say about the prod.
It's heavy, melodic, sometimes death, in a word, beautiful.
9/10 |
|
|
|
| In my opinion it´s the best album of 2007 and best of Amorphis ever! |
|
|
|
| Not much different from the already successful Eclipse. But its true, this one presents more memorable songs. One of the best in Amorphis discography since the early days. |
|
|
|
| I loved Eclipse, so I guess there's no way getting around this, I must listen this one too... |
|
|
|
| Silent Waters is an incredible and magical album. Every song shines with a beam of confidence, wonder, and enchantment. Tomi Joutsen's vocals are elegant and breathtaking, The keyboard and acoustic guitar work are phenomenal, I am proud to own this album on CD. Best album of 2007 next to Ulver's Shadows of the Sun. 9/10 |
