"Amok" is the last full-length album of "Sentenced" with the singer Taneli Jarva which ended their Death Metal chapter. It was followed by a last EP ("Love & Death"), later that year which officially closed this era. Both albums can be found today as one compilation, which includes remastered, all fourteen songs (nine from "Amok" and five from "Love & Death") and the two original booklets in a one new. It's considered by many fans, as the best album in their Death Metal era; it's also included, by many magazines, in "The best albums ever" lists. Comparing to older albums of the band, it's by far their best, since here the sound and the vocals are significantly improved. The melodic guitar riffs and the female vocals give a different atmosphere and the sense of a professional band, a band that is one of the best in its kind.

Just re listen actually good one , this is how DM can go actually if band want some success, not grows, a bit calmer singing and good lyrics, its fits into nature, in Oulu, area. In some point sad Taneri left or was he kicked out? but it was best for a band, one of rare bands what don't suck after style changes actually

Top 10 albums ever for me, this one. It's practically flawless and also the pinnacle of Sentenced. I like what they did afterwards too but Amok just combines the best of both worlds.
