The new DT album is fucking awesome

 

[Spiff]

Yup. Album of the year!

 

[mattt]

yeah the new Dark Tranquillity album is pretty good.

 

[Spiff]

Heh.

I haven't listened to one of their albums since Damage Done. Not sure why, because I loved that one.

 

[Goreripper]

Fiction is a masterpiece! A masterpiece, I tell you!

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah new DT is good...
Everyone is raving about In The Presence of Enemies 1 & 2 but they are the only one's that heven't really grown on me yet

I'm sure they will... Just the instrumental section in Pt 2 seems a bit out of place... Same with the Instrumental section on Ministry of Lost Souls... Probably could have done without that part... Or maybe make it a bit more melodic and less crazy 'LTE' crazy.

My early favorites are Prophets of War and Repentence. Very Opeth sounding and a coool JP solo

Mikael Akerfeldt actually appears on Repentence. As well as Steve Wilson, Steve Vai, Daniel Gildenlow, Corey Taylor, Jon Anderson, David Ellefson, Steve Hogarth, Chris Jericho, & Neal Morse!

Talk about an all-star line-up!

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah but they don't really contribute to the music or anything.
Just spoken word parts.... Whilst it is pretty cool, it is not the contributing factor that gives the song that Opeth vibe.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Als0, ya forgot Satch

 

[Spiff]

Ministry of Lost Souls rocks.

I'm very surprised at how much I like this album. It's awesome. The last time I liked a DT album a great deal was Falling Into Infinity.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I love Dark Tranquillity, but am yet to pick up Fiction. When money permits.

 

[Southy]

The whole of the new DT album is good, I can't get a fav song amongst it yet

 

[Spruce Goose]

OK, In The Presence of Enemies grew on me.
It's my favorite from the album with Prophets of War a close second.

I was thinking the other day that Muse are probably in my top 3 bands list... so that probably explains why I like POW so much... It's DT meets Muse but not in a total rip off way like Never Enough
