If some of you are die hard fans of the times when Dark Tranquillity used to play real death metal, then you don's have to read further, because this album is the more likely to disturb you. Some would call them sellouts, would cry for the nostalgy of the fast riffs and the flow of violence that you could find on Skydancer or on The Gallery, or even insult them because of the clean vocals and the piano parts, but for myself I think I'm going to talk about evolution and about the courage of a band that has not been afraid to lose a part of their fans just to explore a new side of the metal spectrum... This is an artistic move, that even if it cannot be understood by all, at least it has to be respected. Read more ›› |

I have a soft spots for bands that dare to go against the expectations of their fans and pursue their own way of art. That's why I love Dark Tranquillity and I love this album. Besides, if I ever decide to put down my own list of top 10 most beautiful metal albums, Projector will definitely be on it.

Strong album. Interesting mix of growls and very characteristic clean vocals. Only Damage Done outperforms it by a margin, the Gallery pretty much at par. There in and undo control are probably my all-time fav DT songs. Dobermann also stands out here.

Great album indeed - one of DT's best - but for me "Nether Novas" outshines all songs here (that said, I like them all songs, except Auctioned)

Written by Darkside Momo on 20.02.2017 at 22:57 I have a sweet spot for "The Sun Fired Blanks" I must say but I like pretty much every song on this album. "ThereIn" is one of the greatest metal tracks ever

Written by BloodTears on 29.01.2018 at 13:20 great songs both, and ThereIn still kicks ass live (also had "The Sun Fired Blanks" on the Damage Done tour, that was awesome)
