I see you're not a fan of DT. I have been fortunate enough to have heard their entire discography, and I must say that their evolution from when they began back in 89 up to now is just extraordinary, sorry but it sounds like you obviously haven't heard enough to know what you are talking about.

Dude seriously....of COURSE they sounded different back then but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the argument at hand and I can show you 100 bands that sounded different way back when - hell what about In Flames. They sound nothing at all like they used to but are they keeping the scene alive? Hell no, theve sucked for the past 8 years.
And fair enough, DT obviously seems to be one of your favorites, but fans have very short memories. When a band is very versatile thats cool and all but if their last 3 albums pretty much sound exactly the same then thats not keeping it interesting. And when u listen to them bringing out the same stuff for 6 years then all of a sudden one forgets about the good old days where they were fresh and interesting.
So ur right...Im not a big fan of DT - Im a big fan of Damage Done and The Gallery, but seriously I need a little more stimulation and originality to keep me interested in a band. Bringing out the same albums dont really keep me satisfied - perhaps you like the fact that theyve at least stayed on a plato and didnt nose-dive like some other bands. Not my cup of tea, I want bands to evolve and become better and I dont want to wait 20 years for it to happen

That's exactly my point, you're not a big DT fan, so it doesn't surprise me that it all sounds the same to you, hell im not a big Iron Maiden fan, so a lot of the music i've heard from them recently all sounds the same to me as well. What about Amon Amarth, they've brought nothing new to the table over the last decade and are somehow constantly releasing great albums. Anyway this arguement is obviously going nowhere so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

Overall this is a darn good album, but still behind S.T.D.I.A.C.D..

An absolutely phenomenal album and one of my all-time favorites. .Pretty much flawless, IMO. Insomnium's second best after Since the Day it All Came Down.

'The Night Has A Thousand Eyes' is a one-hit wonder. If you really want to appreciate English poetry, look no further than William Blake (especially 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger' from "Songs Of Innocence And Of Experience").
Oh ya, and this album is amazing.

I only know The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, but I've never read it. Shame on me! I'll read the ones you suggested first. Still, I know William Shakespeare will always be my favorite poet.

Shakespeare's the man/renegade/holy ghost/whatever the latest conspiracy is. He is the holder of my favorite quote after all:
Quote:
Our doubts are traitors
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.
A man after my own heart...

It's got a favorite-A/favorite-B spot on my all-time melodic death metal albums list, alongside Be'lakor's "Stone's Reach".

Not a bad review. Definitely made some good points there but I must ask I understand why you rated originality 8, BUT the songwriting is a sure 10. It's unarguable it's a 10 and you should re-listen the album and re-read the lyrics if you cant hear them.

Wow, amazing record. One of the best Insomnium álbums for sure.
"Devoid of Caring" and "In The Groves Of Death" are masterpieces.
