Like everything Insomnium has sent forth, this album is a must-have if you like melancholy melodic metal. With rifs to die for and a sombre atmosphere all the way through, the hair on your arms will inevitably stand when you hear some of the many truly memorable passages which cling to your ears and soon become a tune in your head that you can't get rid off. The skills of these young Fins are dazzling, and especially their talent for composing songs with variation and contrast is striking.
The other two albums they have out (Since The Day It All Came Down and Above The Weeping World) are equally good, if not slightly better, actually, and follow the same ingenious recipe: melancholy mood and memorable passages!
