Dark Tranquillity

[Rascian Warrior]

I've got two of their albums.. Damage Done and "Skydancer/Of Eternal Chaos and Night," and I've been planning on buying some more. I was thinking of either "Projector" or "Haven." Which one's more like Damage Done? And which one's overall better?

BTW.. what do you guys think of soon-to-be-released Opeth's "Damnation?"

 

[Psychonaut]

Haven is probably more like Damage Done than Projector. Although different, both are good. I would go with Haven for the better of the two.

Haven't heard Damnation (yet)

 

[plfffffft]

The Mind's I is their best album though, but of those two, I'd say Haven. Mikael Stanne's clean vocals might turn you off a bit from Projector.

projector is one of the best albums ever. mikael sings on projector, and his voice is great.

Projector is an amazing album, I'm listening to it right now, actually. But Mikael's singing has been known to turn people off of the album.

Damnation is further evidence of opeth's transformation into pink floyd


(I think The Gallery is my favorite dark tranquillity album)

 

[Immortality]

Get Haven, that album farkin rules.

 

[SculptedCold]

I'll go for Haven too. Most diehard DT fans would say Projector hands down; admittedly it's much more ethereal and subversive, but I prefer Haven because of it's variations in pace and structure that Projector lacks somewhat. It's also got much better artwork.

 

[Lycanthrope]

I love Projector, largely due to the clean vox. Damage Done is great too, but I was really disappointed that there weren't more of the singing vox. Mikael's got a fantastic voice and he should use it much more than he does. He reminds me very much of the singer for Depeche Mode, whom I also really like.

I'd like to see DT going in a similar direction to Soilwork, experimenting with more harmonious elements rather than just the death-type vox.
btw, DT is great live. I saw them with Sentenced last year and they kicked ass!

for The Love Of God Man Buy The Gallery

for The Love Of God Man Buy The Gallery

Agreed..Pick up The Gallery instead..it is by far their best effort

Me too, in Rhode Island. I got to meet the band after; I went outside after their set. Screw In Flames, IMHO.

Both Haven or Projector are awesome. But go with the Gallery.
Damnation is awesome!!!!!!!!

 

[Aggressor]

I would go with Haven, it really kicks ass

 

[asphyXy]

stanne's clean singing is one of my favorite parts of Projector

 

[~UlvedaL~]

I bought "Damage Done" the day before yesterday, and its fairly good, though I like music a bit more brutal - Overall its a good album though; nice melodies, cool structure but I cannot answer your question, since its the only album I have from these guys...

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

first of all i agree with those who said get the gallery. i prefer damage done but the gallery is a mammoth album punish my heaven owns !!! Projecter is another fanatastic album the clean vocals are superb so if you like clean vocals you better get projecter. If you going to get projecter you should get haven to because its equally good lot of electronics in it too. In Conclusion dark tranquillity own and you should buy all the albums.

 

[Lethe78]

I think that sums it up quite accurately.

 

[Wanderingblade]

I believe that Dark Tranquillity are as incapable of putting out a bad album as any one band can be, haven't done it yet, and you should get all their albums.

THE MIND'S I!!!!!!!!
