The journey from Palm Desert to Halmstad is shorter than one might have imagined. What strikes the most about 'Another way to shine' is its absolute compactness: never a note out of place or a missed passage.

The riffs and the general atmospheres of their latest CD appear all too easy listening: the bar is shifting heavily towards a pop/metal devoid of stimulus. Everything is in its place, all the pieces are well thought out and played: yet this is precisely the weak point of the CD, which too often gets lost in keyboard effusions that are indeed evocative but add nothing to the glorious career of Amorphis.

Amorphis' 'The Beginning Of Times' delivers a polished and atmospheric metal album continuing their melodic direction. While the musicianship and production shine, the album leans too much toward accessible, easy-listening metal, losing some of the band's original edge. Although the band's class remains evident in key tracks, the overall freshness is somewhat undermined by familiar formulas and keyboard overuse. It's a solid but not fully convincing addition to their catalog, hinting they need to reconnect with a more heartfelt style. Discover Amorphis' latest blend of melody and metal—listen now and decide if 'The Beginning Of Times' hits the mark!

Jordan’s film is a strange and quirky reflection on immortality which doesn’t fit well in two hours where nothing happens but smiles and giggles while drinking the blood of some unfortunate prostitute. I found the performances by Pitt and Cruise frankly ridiculous, as in their roles as handsome and self-indulgent vampires, they seem like hysterical queens bickering over a handful of flies.
