4.5 superb | fromrows | October 20th 14 | Really impressed by this, basically what In Flames should have done the last 10 years or so in imo.

3.5 great | Alex Newton | October 18th 14 | A lot more mid-paced stuff here like on With Fear. Pleasantly surprised by this, definitely not Slaughter 2.0

4.0 excellent | Armandoman12 | October 27th 14 | This album is really well done. Sounds like they took a break for a couple years and went right back at it. Solid.

2.0 poor | Wizard | October 19th 14 | What do you get when you play an album with 19 years of hype behind it and it doesn't live up to expectations?

3.5 great | StormChaser | October 16th 14 | After the first listen I felt like some of the songs shouldn't have ended where they did and that at some parts they just lose their cohesiveness they had on Slaughter. On the other hand, this is a very brave outing and a strong musical statement from a band that's been 19 years on hiatus. Should this album have been released? Absolutely. It feels like they needed it, it feels real.

3.5 great | Jared Floryan | January 3rd 15 | Once you get past the coarse production style, At War with Reality ends up being an overall consistent melodeath album. It's understandable how many At the Gates boy and girl scouts assume that this is by far the band's weakest effort; though you could get away with saying the same for Siren Charms, courtesy of another melodic death metal veteran In Flames. Beat down the nostalgia boner you've earned years after jamming the likes of Slaughter of the Soul and With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness, and AtG's fifth studio recording will be smooth sailing.

2.5 average | zaruyache | February 13th 15 | It feels bored. It feels tired. Like they had some good songs, but then got lazy and forewent any studio magic to make their guitars sound forceful.

2.5 average | Xenophanes EMERITUS | December 16th 14 | If this had come out 15 years ago it would probably be seen as a masterpiece rather than a pretty good melodeath record.

3.5 great | Fernando Alves STAFF | November 15th 14 | A catchy comeback. Personal highlights: Death and the Labyrinth, At War with Reality, The Circular Ruins, Eater of Gods and Upon Pillars of Dust. Rating: 3.7/5.

3.5 great | BRAman22 | November 10th 14 | Better than I expected after hearing all of the negative reactions. If you can get past the fact that this isn't Slaughter of the Soul 2, it's a rather enjoyable listen.

3.0 good | Smok3mon | November 8th 14 | You will be disappointed if you've worshipped Slaughter of the Soul the past 20 years...pretty average album...
