Anyone else think the mix on here is really muddy? Everything sounds compressed to hell.

Interesting, I don't think that's something that has been brought up yet in this thread

Great review.

Listened to the first couple of songs, good stuff, even though I'm not a fan of metal walls of sound.

Back half is better. Most tracks beg for melodic vocals. They could be onto something here. Leaning to a 3.5 but will keep listening.

Feel like they peaked hard around 2004-06, maybe 09, and have been pretty hit or miss since. Still a great live act though

The solo in White Christ is the only exceptional part about the song tbh.



After playing this album a lot since release, I have to say Godforsaken and Starless Paths are among my favourite songs of the band. Still not to the heights of Winter's Gate, While We Sleep and The Lay of Autumn but still, they are fantastic.

Chilling. Jamming the final track as we speak. Wadup?

This is pretty damn good to me. Haven't listened to this band at all since AtWW. Production is muddy as fuck and the drums all blend together, but how many melodic death metal bands really have good production? Guitar melodies are really fun and I love the atmosphere, which are the main two things I ever tune into for this band.

God, White Christ is so fucking boring. Album is very mid, I probably won't ever come back to it. Definitely bottom 3 Insomnium
