Halo

"Halo is an extraordinary achievement in the history of a band already known for some of the most consistently great output in metal. It's a true quantum leap in hook writing and melding epic pop construction with prog and jazz passages seamlessly and effortlessly. AMORPHIS are working at the height of their powers on this record, and although it's early and there's a lot of year and a lot of metal left to hear, its easily a top album of the year contender, and a serious one at that. AMORPHIS have delivered an immaculate album that offers passage out of this world and into one where myth and beauty reign supreme. Halo is what metal can be at its very best, and nothing less".

"Det er et godt album. Det er velskrevet og flere melodier vil sætte sig eller i hvert fald vække genkendelsens glæde, fordi det minder meget om andre, som Amorphis er lykkedes med. Og Amorphis er altså et band langt langt over middelmådigheden. Nu er det bare tid til, at de kommer videre i teksten".

"Another reliably sublime effort from the Kings of Karelia, "Halo" further cements Amorphis as one of metal's most consistently excellent bands".

"Der er ingen tvivl om, at det lydbillede, Amorphis leverer, kan virke en smule spøjst for nogles vedkommende, da det er en masse genrer, vokaler og instrumenter, som mikses. Men er man et metalhoved og en generel musikentusiast, som værdsætter progressiv metal, dødsmetal, folkemusik, traditionel, egnsbestemt musik og meget mere, så er det smør for ørerne at lytte til dette album".
