After disappointing Tounela, Amorphis are trying to change their musical direction, but I think they have failed. Their next studio album - Am Universum is as predictable as its predecessor and full of radio-oriented and commercial songs. However, the positive is they are much more catchy and memorable than Tounela's. In some songs can be detected the elegant sax sound that's trying to break up the atmosphere with innovative ideas. For me, the vocal disappoints again as on the previous release. The music primary consists of vocal-oriented progressive/space rock with a couple of harder moments spread all over the album. I pay special attention to the fifth song - Crimson Wave. It's interesting and memorable and contains jazz theme at the end. The other solid song is Grieve Stricken Heart. As a conclusion: an album worth to be listened to! 2,5 stars
