The last two Insomnium releases received adulatory reviews from self-proclaimed fanboys. I am not an Insomnium fanboy, but there is a longstanding tradition of Metal Storm reviewers enthusiastically waxing lyrical about their albums, and in this instance, I am happy to follow the example set by others.

Unlike any other Insomnium album (Winter's Gate doesn't count), there are no unnecessary or repetitive songs here. Each is very different and brings something unique, including the bonus EP tracks. Realising this has tipped my rating to a 9, its probably their most consistently enjoyable for me (again, excluding Winter's Gate).
