After some very positive feedback from their last two albums, in particular the brilliant "Since The Day It All Came Down," Insomnium came back with a third album appropriately titled "Above the Weeping World." Now I say appropriately because the album portrays a strong atmosphere of sorrow, and even sometimes delight, achieved through excellent music and meaningful lyrics. Read more ›› |

It is hard to find right words to describe its beauty, so I won't even try. This is one of few albums which deserves 10 without hesitation. Live long Insomnium and thank you!

This album is just so incredibly good! Best album by this band IMO, though Since The Day It All Came Down is breathing Above The Weeping World in it's neck. Incredible band

I won't ever be able to rate Insomnium's albums over one another but I can definitely say - This album is one of the best albums in music history, it's melodies and lyrics haunt me to the day.

Their 2nd best album after Winter's Gate IMO. 8.9/10 for me - 'Mortal Share' and 'The Killjoy' are the standout songs. 'Drawn To Black', 'Devoid Of Caring' and 'In The Groves Of Death' are all also great.

A timeless melodeath classic, and most likely my favourite favourite Insomnium album. Every song is at least good, but range from good to excellent imo, with "Mortal Share", "At The Gates Of Sleep", "The Killjoy" and "Last Statement" as the main stand outs for me. But as great as this album is, I still prefer many Dark Tranquillity albums over it.

I really tried to like this album since its considered on of the best Insomnium release. For some reason I always get bored after 3-4 tracks.... Was never able to listened it from front to back... In fact the only album I enjoy from this band is Winter's Gate.

Their first two albums were good but this is where they hit a new peak with their writing and I think that's why it has always been considered one of their best. The metal hit harder, the atmosphere and lyrics were more engrossing, and it all still felt really genuine. Above The Weeping World is a near perfect album that all of Insomnium's subsequent albums, besides Winter's Gate, would later devalue by over saturating what they used to do very well with blander and weaker repetitions. I stopped caring about Insomnium many years ago but I can still return to this album and enjoy it after all this time because it is simply so good. Change Of Heart was always forgettable to me but I still love every single other song here.
