Pale Morning Star is phenomenal. I'm hoping we get more of that quality on the album. That was really something special.

Unlike many, I didn't like Winter's Gate because 1) it failed at what it aimed at, I clearly heard seven pieces, not a single song. Yes they shared a melody progression but the structures never really connected 2) even if we take it as seven tracks they are really below Insomnium level, there's barely anything standing out, yes they sounded good but Insomnium is not about good 3) nothing hit me in the heart up until the very finale, that spoken verse carried by the ultra subtle piano line is really something 4) incredibly poor production, I mean, it really hurts. Insomnium have a longtime habit of having every second album produced like shit. So just in case, be ready for the next one after HLAG.

Now, that is a hell of an album. Best gem off their career. Never felt that this band is capable of something essential (i mean other than just a couple of songs here and there) but with Winter's Gate they entered Melodeath's Hall of Fame. The new one is totally inferior to this.

Well I understand why people praise WG and while it's not as far as praising Metallica for LuLu, still...

"incredibly poor production, I mean, it really hurts."

what do you value about production that isn't there? WG is balanced, clear, and full...I'm not sure how a different treatment could improve it.

Agreed, production is balanced. Can't find anything wrong.

It's terribly muddy. I'd really like to enjoy at least those lead guitars that are here but I can't because everything is blurred all the time.

That is possible.
