Best album since Projector, always loved the "normal" voice of Mikael so much more than his snarls. Finally they brought back the keys, the slowness, the atmosphere of their masterpiece Projector.

"gonna assume im gonna love this no matter what because it's DT"

Precisely

Except We Are the Void, but I still like that one. I am the Void, Surface the Infinte, Fatalist, Iridium...plenty of great tracks

Projector had way more good riffs than this does. Most of the songs are far more guitar-focused than any track here. Keyboards are the death of good metal bands.



There is more quality riffage from 2:00 to 2:35 of "Nether Novas" than there is on this entire record, and there are no "Freecard" quality leads on this.

Well, to each his own opinion, but I love keyboards in metal, just imagine all those Black Metal giants without the use of keyboards, alot of the atmosphere would vanish into thin air.



And the mix of Mikaels "normal" voice with the keyboard sound has something " new waveish",

and I am a sucker for new wave

the clean singing here is fantastic and easily the best of DT's career but the fact remains that this is melodic death metal and that means there has to be quality riffs, the keyboards cannot be sole source of atmosphere

Do not misunderstand me, I love riffs, I am digging stuff like Mithras, Ulcerate, Behemoth and so on.... but DT has made enough similar sounding albums in my opinion, it was time for a change and for me that change brought out an amazingly atmospheric album, I seriously do not give a rats ass, if they play melodic death metal or wave influenced atmospheric death metal, what counts is, that it pleases me.

"Encircled" has some nice guitar parts. The openers from the last two albums were moody, while they normally had energetic, fairly aggressive opening tracks; this song manages to mix both nicely and I love it.

Also, as I've said in another thread, they perfected the modern, more riff based sound on Fiction. While this could have been Fiction Pt. 2 and it probably would have rocked either way, I don't really want them to do that.

Well, I quite enjoyed Construct, so guess I can't miss this one either. Is it on Spotify already?

Very good review and I found the album very enjoyable based on a few listens. It does lack riffing and it sometimes feels like the songs were cut off a bit though. I think the atmosphere is great too.

Considering my favorite tracks from Construct were "Uniformity" and "None Becoming" (and "Immemorial" if we're counting that), I'm not too concerned about how much I'll enjoy it. Would take something truly impressive to make me give it a 4, but I'm willing to bet it'll be a comfortable 3.5. Either way, I'll be seeing them live on my birthday, so that's got me excited.

Damn, guess Crysis got beat by Jac to the review



@Xeno: None Becoming is probably my favourite off Construct. So damn good
