Interesting, since Above The Weeping World has the better rating. Where should I go next with this band, Pika?

In the Halls of Awaiting and Since the Day It All Came Down aren't bad next-stops either.

Randomly got While We Sleep suggested on Yt and checked it out. Normally i tend to avoid Scandinavian melodeath since it often gets to cheesy for me. But suprisingly, i really liked it, i kind of even hear traces of post rock and more modern prog metal a la Cloudkicker, AAL etc

Also helps that it doesn't feel to dark, i would even argue there is a subdued uplifting feel to it

Was on a long road trip this weekend and listened to a handful of Insomnium albums I hadn't heard in a while. This one really surprised me how much I enjoyed it years later. I feel like when it came out I was kinda burnt out on their modern sound at that point, but I found it to be remarkably more enjoyable than I had previously thought. Anyways, just had to bump my rating up a bit.

Hot take: this is one of the band’s worst albums.

I feel like I'd have to put this somewhere in the middle of their discography. Not one of their best but certainly not one of their worst either.

I do really love the album though. All of Insomnium’s stuff is top tier and are one of my very favorite bands. Black heart rebellion is one helluva song.

Have been revisiting and listening to this album a bunch lately. I’ve done a 180 on my previous comments about this being the band’s weakest.
