Quite mid insomnium album imo, so still really solid stuff. Better than the last two and I'm really hoping for a another winters gate, even thou it seems like a fluke now. Still I don't think they have a bad album, but another peak would be awesome. At least they are very good live nowadays.

Pretty cool when a band’s “mid” albums still earn a 4.0. #Legends

Is Insomnium maybe the most consistent melodic death metal band ever? I'd be hard pressed to think of another band, a lot of the Gothenburgers fell of hard. And Dark Tranquility doesn't even do melodeath anymore

Or at least i'd argue they have switched up their style quite often

that would be Be'lakor probably, but they have a long way to go to catch up with these guys in sheer production

Yes, i was only thinking of bands with an output that is congruent with their years since their inception

And in contrast to Gothenburg their stuff does never get cheesy. Always down to earth, relatable lyrical content and imagery. I value that in a genre full of over fantastical elements

In addition to that, i love the slight post rock influence they have on here and probably on some of their newer records too

Would've loved the production to not sound like it is a 192 kbps album, and the harsh vocals sound a bit too whispery to me. But I love the melodies here, stellar record.

While We Sleep gets the goosebumps going. Probably their best song overall.
