| Dark Tranquillity - Fiction Ranked
Probably their second best album behind The Gallery. I've also
decided that this is the hardest
album to rank ever. If I listened again right now it'd probably be
different but this is generally
what it is. | | 1 | Dark Tranquillity
Blind At Heart
Arguably Dark Tranquillity's most aggressive song. The blistering riffs and anthem-like chorus make
this
Arguably Dark Tranquillity's most aggressive song. The blistering riffs and anthem-like chorus make
this
my personal favorite on the album. The album's best guitar solo is also featured on this track. Really
pumps me up this track does. | | 2 | Inside the Particle Storm
The imagery portrayed by the lyrics fit the doomy, at times downright evil atmosphere the music
creates.
The bridge is very Opethian (a good thing). Can't really think of anything else to say, amazing song. | | 3 | Misery's Crown
The clean singing is very well-done in the verses, and the lead in to the chorus makes it even more
he clean singing is very well-done in the verses, and the lead in to the chorus makes it even more
powerful. One of the album's simplest songs, but without a doubt the most moving. That's saying
something for a melodic death metal band. | | 4 | Focus Shift
The first single and shortest song on the album. This is probably the song that most resembles the
band's
older sound as well as gothenberg melodic death metal as a whole. This song features the best riffs on
the
album and is ridiculously catchy. A song that I feel gets under-appreciated. | | 5 | Nothing to No One
One of the rare occasions where the verse of the song supercedes the chorus, at least in my opinion.
The
verses really rev me up, and while the chorus definitely would be a crowd favorite at live concerts, it
doesn't seem quite as powerful as it could be on the cd. | | 6 | Empty Me
These next few songs are the most difficult for me to order. I absolutely love the chorus and riffing
during
the verse here, but it doesn't make the top 5 because the bridge with the keys is a little too drawn out. | | 7 | Terminus (Where Death is Most Alive)
When the album initially came out, this was my favorite. It's a tailor-made single really, from the
infectious riffs to the shout-along chorus. It begins to lose it's original charm after a while but it's still
a great track. | | 8 | The Mundane and the Magic
I must be the only person on the site that doesn't consider this one of the album highlights. It's really
good, sure, but it's not as powerful to me as say, "My Negation." | | 9 | Icipher
One of the album's best choruses here, but the lyrics turn me off slightly. Nice solo though. | | 10 | The Lesser Faith
I feel bad putting this at the bottom because it's still an excellent song, but it lacks any real stand-out
element. | |

02.03.10 | i knew this would be your list. | Crysis
02.03.10 | I like them all, I could never choose a favorite or least favorite tbh | Yazz_Flute
02.03.10 | So I tried to do reverse order and fucked that up haha. I fixed it now though. Blind At Heart is number 1 and The Lesser Faith is number 10. | BallsToTheWall
02.03.10 | 10 sucks, 1 is terrific. Icipher is also pretty awesome. nevermind, don't really agree with tracking. | Yazz_Flute
02.03.10 | I was going to make this yesterday and Icipher was in the top 5 then. 1, 2, and 10 remain stationary usually but the rest frequently changes. | FadeToBlack
02.03.10 | For me it's Empty Me last with everything else changing with each listen. Terminus, Miserys Crown and The Mundane And The Magic are usually my favourites | Crysis
02.04.10 | Empty Me is one of the best songs | FadeToBlack
02.04.10 | Tis a great song like all the rest, but I probably come back to it the least out of all of them | Motiv3
02.04.10 | 9 is way too fucking low. | Yazz_Flute
02.04.10 | All of the songs here are really good so yeah. Surprised nobody's bitched about 8 being too low. | Crysis
02.04.10 | 8 is too low
/bitch | ninjuice
02.04.10 | I forgot that I forgot to comment...
I think mine would go:
The Mundane and the Magic
Nothing to No One
Focus Shift (that riff is gold, seriously)
Terminus
Misery's Crown
Inside the Particle Storm
Blind at Heart
The Lesser Faith
Icipher
Empty Me
My Negation probably isn't even in my top 30 DT songs. | FadeToBlack
02.04.10 | im not a huge fan of My Negation either, as far Dark Tranquillity closers go its probably my least favourite | Yazz_Flute
02.04.10 | I guess i'm just indifferent then. Their best closer is ...Of Melancholy Burning though and I think I'd put Iridium just behind it. | Phrike
02.04.10 | Blind At Heart is at the top so the list is win. Simple as that | lucazade22
02.09.10 | ^yesss
Blind at Heart is defo the best on the album. On the whole though I prefer Character cos it has more standout tracks..."Lost to Apathy", "The New Build" and "Dry Run" are insane!! | FadeToBlack
02.09.10 | The Gallery is so amazing it lacks standouts; every song is pretty much prefect | jingledeath
02.09.10 | lol my ranking would be completely different
7

02.09.10 | YES someone else likes terminus as much as I | FadeToBlack
02.09.10 | I thought Terminus was everyone's favourite off Fiction | Yazz_Flute
02.09.10 | Yeah the general favorites seem to be Terminus and The Mundane and the Magic, at least on sputnik. Terminus used to be my favorite but it got old.
123 on the gallery. Except Midway Through Infinity always came off as filler to me. Not that it's bad. |
