    Second full-length coming from swedish metal band Dark Tranquillity. It's death metal, in its best form: Swedish west coast melodic death metal - with all its ingredients: perhaps the best melodies ever heard in metal, great riffs, solos you name it. And of course a wonderful growler of a vocalist named Mikael Stanne.
    Excellent album, can't really complain about anything though I know one DT album that beats it (but not with many millimetres) - "Projector". If you're a fan of the newer DT recordings or just S.W.C.M.D.M. in general, get this album.
    If you're NOT well.. get it anyway damnit. Everyone who calls himself a smart human being should own this.
    Even the In Flames fans who constantly claim that IF is the best band on earth. I have nothing against IF but how can they be the best if DT have made several albums which beat IF's work so easily?
