The best from Dark Tranquillity.

""The Mind's I" is my favourite album from Dark Tranquillity. I'm not intending to go into all the painful details of my "Projector" review, rather just simply to say that this album; having heard "Damage Done", remains my outright favourite.
It's fast, complex, aggressive and most importantly very pure. Songs average just below 4 minutes, with one lengthy epic "Insanity's Crescendo" a brilliant song placed in the middle of the album, featuring impressive female vocals.
Superb dual guitars, outstanding lively basswork, faultless drumming and Stanne's typical throaty onslaught make for the best album by Dark Tranquillity.
My favourite songs on here would be "Zodijackyl Light", "Insanity's Crescendo", "Atom Heart 243.5" and "Still Moving Sinews".
One of my favourite albums of all time."

Wonderful, just wonderful

"This is an album from the Gothenburg scene, and all great bands from there, they each bring something a little different to the table. This album is one of those albums.Though this album clearly has an At The Gates influence, this album also takes many other passages to get the points across. The fast parts somewhat reminds me of At The Gates (not in a cliche kinda way), but this album has many slower, softer parts. There is something about this album that is difficult to describe, an underlying melancholy that doesn't obscure the beauty of the music, and doesn't contradict the faster and heavier parts. Spanning fast, technical thrash, to slower, melodic acoustic parts, with piercng screams, harsh growls, and beautiful female vocals, this album is in no way "just another Gothenburg album". A very good band, with all members being very talented, and amazing songs that have creative structure and great variation, and using other metal cliches like solos and blast beats sparingly. I think I've said enough."

This is real metal
