I'll probably give it one more go but it's not hitting. Last couple tracks were better. ATWW is my go-to Insomnium

Yeah to me pretty much every song on here is good if not great, and I wasn't really hooked on their last one



Also, art, they obviously peaked in 2016

anyone else think the drums are too low in the mix? super muffled and I think it takes a lot of power away from the tracks

Yes, the mix is overall very muddy and has no impact whatsoever. Very weird for such a long running band to sound this bad.

I think the mix was always a sticking point for a lot of people on Insomnium, right up until Heart Like a Grave which seemed to have a much cleaner mix. It seems like they've gone backward a bit in that regard, which, honestly doesn't bother me since I'm still going to be a shameless fanboi either way. White Christ has also started growing on me. I've been humming it to myself all week. Lilian and The Rapids have also stuck around in my head.

Just listening to this for the first time now, and this was my first thought. Why are producers mixing drums like this nowadays?

Melodic death metal is often produced with the guitars front and center with everything else kind of in the background. Can't say I'm a big fan of it.
