Info:
"Elegy" saw Amorphis going explicitly for a psychedelic/folk sound, and "Tuonela" carries the band even further in that direction. While "Tales from the Thousand Lakes" remains by far my favorite Amorphis CD, "Elegy" and "Tuonela" each have unique things to offer.
"Tuonela" features a more direct songwriting approach than Amorphis has taken in the past. Also, the gruff vocals are almost completely gone, returning only on the song "Greed," where they fit the lyrics most adeptly, I might add!
While going for a more direct, simple approach to songwriting, the songs are also (paradoxically?) more diverse than on "Elegy."
