We really had opposite reactions to this album (making you instantly in the wrong). I feel like it’s overly familiar in fact the cliche “the more things change, the more they stay the same” seems to apply very strongly here, as the small changes they HAVE made just emphasise how similar/familiar the rest of it is.
Even the addition of more melodeath leanings just make them sound more like a 3rd generation band influenced by OG, rather than a band with a sound in their own right. “Ephemeral” was downright boring too. Although that last track now that’s one of the best things they’ve ever done. A saving grace, if ever there was one.
Unfortunately I can’t listen to the album yet since it isn’t officially out at the moment, but reading this review I think I’m going to love it. I was sceptical before but While We Sleep and Revelations have grown on me the last one or two weeks, and Insomnium usually saves the best tracks for last. Finally this review itself makes me fucking stoked for the album. It words 100% accurately how I feel about Insomnium’s music so there’s hardly any doubt now from my part that I’ll love this album like I’ve loved every other album too.
