I have Insomnium
Went back through these guys discog after not listening to any of their stuff for a while. Results were actually pretty surprising. |
1 | | Insomnium In the Halls of Awaiting
A good start. Atmospheric. Interesting. But not quite exceptional. 3.5 |
2 | | Insomnium Since the Day It All Came Down
Not as good as I remember. Gets kinda boring/reparative, but still very well done overall. I slight step up from their debut. 3.7 |
3 | | Insomnium Above the Weeping World
Even better then I remember. Oozing with atmosphere, and some really amazing guitar work, this is still the most emotionally charged and utterly engaging of their albums. The Killjoy and Last Statement is one of the most powerful stretches of meoldeath in history. 4.7 |
4 | | Insomnium Across the Dark
Better than I remember. Still has a powerful atmosphere but the songs just aren't nearly as interesting as much of their previous work. Some really powerful moments. 3.6 |
5 | | Insomnium One for Sorrow
Kicks ass. Some people like this least why I don't understand. The most energetic of their releases, it sacrifices a bit of atmosphere and fluidity (though it still has a good deal of both) for some really exciting individual songwriting. Lay the Ghost to Rest is just amazing. 4.3 |
6 | | Insomnium Shadows of the Dying Sun
Better than I remember. The improvements and changes to the overall album structuring are subtle but they're there. They risk getting boring again to bring back some of the atmosphere they lost on their previous offering and it works. Mostly. Out to the Sea is their best closer. 3.9 |
