I'm going to change the name of the album on this review to whatever the new one is called and repost it. I bet it will still be spot-on.

I knew I'd bring you out of hiding... jokes about Insomnium will always let me see your smiling avatar (it's there, you just have to look hard).

The full songs released so far aren't that good but Amazon has previews of all the tracks and there are several that sound very promising.

@Tyraelxy: The only thing that I can promise is an honest review and rating (even if it's a '3' like this one).



@Crysis: Based on your rating for this, I'm surprised to see you write that.

I flat out do not like the clean vocals on the new album, plus the songs released seem like they are all fast-paced and less intricate. I like their more doomy songs exponentially better. Also, the riffs seem pretty boring, there were no hooks like the ones on "Against The Stream" or "Down With The Sun".



I'm hoping the full album has some slower tracks. It should be streaming in about 20 minutes.

If I remember correctly, the clean vocals are only on two songs (maybe three) and they're hardly used except on one track. The songs, IMO, are actually more intricate but they're more dense and layered. The melodies, especially, benefitted. There are some faster tracks, but diversity is good.



I would never say they sound like Metallica.

But rule what?
If I want some Thrash I listen to Sadus, Overkill, Testament or Sodom, not that lame Shitallica crap; they are fucking weak.
