I really only listen to Insomnium's first three albums. Is this and the newest album worth a shot?

For you this one maybe, the new one hardly.

The first 3 are my favorite by a long shot. STDIACD is a masterpiece to me. That being said Winter's Gate was IMO the best thing they've released since ATWW, however, it is a bit more atmospheric and stretched out then ATWW. Not in a bad way, but just in a way. The new one has some great tracks, if you haven't listened to it yet, jam

Thanks guys. Pale Morning Star is pretty good, but it does sound like Insomnium by the numbers a bit. I'll check out Winter's Gate.

I really don't know how to explain what is happening with this album. I mean, it's not innovative or something nor an album that we haven't heard before. But, damn, every note counts! The crescendo moments, the mellow stuff, the refrains, the bridges, the riffs, the production, everything is well executed and it really works as a whole. Even the lyrical concept, that little simple Viking story, is good. The only fault I find and I don't 5 it is the drumming. Not that it's bad. It's just flat without moments of breakthrough out of the box. Just like in last Borknagar album.

I'd be interested in these guys making 8+ minute songs more frequently. This is so fucking good but never been sold on their other stuff

Really love the first half of Pt3, so soothing and melodic

"Really love the first half of Pt3, so soothing and melodic"

Interesting. I find pts 2 and 3 the weakest. Love 4, 5 and 7 the most

I've only ever heard this as one 40-minute piece since that's how the promo came (and how it was played both times I saw them). I'm not sure I'd enjoy having it broken down.

I haven't given this a proper listen since I've never seemed to be in the right mood to listen to it in one go

It's quite a seamless listen in one go. I either listen to it all at once or from 4 onwards
