Amorphis, Under a red cloud

Amorphis is one of those bands that you either love for giving up "that death metal shit" and starting to play something more intelligible, either hate for turning mainstream when they were able to produce such a wonderful Tales from the Thousand Lakes. With Under a red cloud it almost looks like they're trying to please both sides, but when the two sides are irreconcilable, the result is a somewhat incoherent record, with sparkling highs and murky lows.
