Dark Tranquillity, season 11.

Three years ago we had Construct, a so-so album - a mostly failed experiment at redefining themselves. Sure, these last few years haven't been easy on DT as far as line-up was concerned, particularly 2016 with the departure of founding member Martin Henriksson.

Dark Tranquillity are on a forward momentum again. Their best since Character, no less.

This album is pretty good, finally gave it some spins since it's rated so well. It's better than plenty of MDM but the score on metalstorm is definitely overrated imo. It can't shake a stick at The Gallery. I also like B'elakor or Mors Principium Est much better than this when it comes to MDM.

Having revisited this album time and again, I finally felt that it is worth a 10. I used to just like the first two tracks, Faithless by Default and Clearing Skies to a really high degree, but now I find Forward Momentum and Proof of Life to be the best. I think now there is not a single track I don't love. But then again, my music taste has developed to more calm music and singer songwriter, pop, etc, compared to when this was released.
