This is a very ironic album. Metallica tried to record Stoner metal, and failed, Entombed gives it a shot and well...Mission accomplished. Inferno is not the skullcrusher that Morning Star is but it is a great album. Inferno has the band slightly angling in the same direction as the last few C.O.C albums and the Black Label Society. "NoboDaddy" is a perfect example, followed up by a straight up thrasher "Young and Dead". The production is different but it works well, drums sounds great, vocals are strong as expected, the guitars are loose, but mixed together they have some great weight, nice bottom end to the whole album. This is a fun ride, it is not a Death metal standard like Morning Star but the core of the Entombed sound is still there. I still expect another Morning Star effort out of Entombed, but this is a good detour. It's got and good beat, I can dance to it... I give it 4 out of 5.

4.0 out of 5 stars great songs, duff production, August 9, 2003

When I listened to this in-store I thought, mmmm, waste of Ł13.However when I got it on my stereo and played for some time with the graphic equalisers I managed to get a decent sound. This is somewhere near to Rising on sound terms but with a few slower sections reminding me of Cathedral, definatley old school.
The songs are great, from the catchy Nobodaddy to the bruising Fix is in. Petrovs vocal talents excel, he's just got a great 60 cigs - a day drawl.
If you can be patient with the poor sound on some tracks they will grow on you. I can't see Entombed fans ranking this as highly as Morning Star, but they have the right to alter their style as have have done before. As long as they stay heavy and write good songs, I couldn't care less. So what if the guitars don't pound your face in quite the same way as Clandestine, they still pound you, one way or another!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, not great, August 8, 2003

Hmmm...are we still allowed to call it Death n' Roll? Entombed is great because they try to be a rocking metal band, mixing crushing guitars with actual rock rhythms. Wolverine Blues, To Ride..., and Uprising are all great examples of that - 3-4 minute songs, verse-chorus-verse structure, and a little rock n' roll hoochy-coo in the beats. On Morning Star, Entombed went for more straight-up Slayer-style metal, which was great in its own way. "Inferno" seems like a swing back to the Death n' Roll style, but I don't know, something's missing. It's mainly the songs. They aren't really that good - not many hooks and generally pretty unmemorable. The band seems a little off, too. You know those awesome moments when Entombed goes on a monstrous roll like a speeding train headed for a brick wall (think "Eye for an Eye," "Wreckage" and most of Uprising)? That doesn't happen much on this album. The band doesn't really click - it's like they weren't really listening to each other when they were playing or something. The production is pretty blah, too. It's no St. Anger-style disaster, but it's pretty uninspired. There are some nice moments ("That's When I Became A Satanist"), but a lot of the record seems like filler. I give Inferno three stars because I'm sentimental. And hey, it's Entombed, so it's still better than much of the [stuff] that gets passed off as heavy these days. But I'll put it this way: if I updated my "Best o' Entombed" mix today, it would only include one or two songs from Inferno. I'd look elsewhere for my Entombed fix.
