If three words were to describe one of my favorite bands from Finland then this specific act has done it before in a far better way, it's all about "Gloom, Beauty And Despair". I'm referring to Swallow The Sun and I never thought they would ever surpass themselves after The Morning Never Came, well, to tell the truth I liked their course so far, yet I've always concidered their debut album to be their most expressive work. And then came New Moon, no, I don't think it's better than their first work in terms of atmosphere, but it justifies its existence as their most important work since then, bringing the band in the game once again, stronger and more mature.

Dare to say. Best Swallow The Sun album imo. The production is perfect, and the vocals better than ever. Im not a huge fan of their discography, only a couple of good songs for album. This is the best to me

I love this album, it's fantastic, though I actually like their new album a tad bit more. That's just me though.

Hard to say whether this or The Morning Never Came is their best album. 'Falling World' is one of the best songs they've written, so melodic yet dark.
