the first and last cd are way better than this, there's too much repetition in the riff style

all of them are awesome, although I do like Above The Weeping World more than this.

I could understand someone rating this low, though. It's really repetitive. Every song follows pretty much the same formula. Much like Kalmah, I can only handle this band for one listen every now and then because I get bored otherwise.

I think I'm slowly caring less for this band, while I agree with what Crysis said - "if you listen to this at the right moment, there is nothing better in the world" I just don't listen to these guys as much, but they are still awesome.

I really don't find this repetitive at all. If I called this repetitive I could call more than half the albums I've heard repetitive. But whatever, your opinion. To me, Insomnium is the best band in the scene.This Message Edited On 11.15.08

I just have to say -- I downloaded this album after reading this review, and promptly forgot about it. I mean no offense to the review -- it did get me to obtain the music. I just also had downloaded something at the same time, and so I forgot about it. In a similar fashion I let it slip under my radar.



Anyway, so I have my Ipod on shuffle and I find this amazing song. I'm always super cheery to find something stupendous that I feel like I discovered in the cramped corner of my 120gb ipod.



Anyway, I started listening to Insomnium on my own, and had only good things to say.



It sounded very familiar -- like a mix of my favorite bands. I would point out to myself the folk interludes and melodies that sounded like old In Flames. The touches of atmosphere which conjure up Amorphisesque echoes. And the vocals remind me of Miko from Swallow the Sun -- who sounds very similar to Akerfield, now that I think about it.



So impressed, but without the time on my hands to look up the band, here I finally am. The memory of Reading this review for the first time rang in my brain, and I remembered exactly where I had stopped reading and just went and downloaded it.



I'm not sure if I even finished the review, haha.



But either way, your description is spot on. After reading so many reviews and having them all sort of congeal into one long monotonous and repetitive review, it excites me to see one that takes the thoughts right out of my brain and presents them to me.



Thanks a ton for this review. Can't say enough about it.

DotM is the best track here, but I love the whole album. Took over a year for me to really begin loving this though.
