Too much pop
Above The Weeping World - Insomnium
Classic Gothenburg sound revisited, with a faithful and creative performance.
Second half of the album runs out of ideas.
Angl - Ihsahn
Classical influences, picks up from where the last album left off.
Small sounds that don't seem like to belong in place, but that's what makes the sound complete.
At The Heart Of Winter - Immortal
More developed and enjoyable sound.
Guitar borrows distinctly from classic heavy metal, sounding a little out of place.

Heavy and relentless, if that's your bag.
Tediously repetitive and lacking in ideas.

Some fun heavy metal.
Weak vocals and dull instruments.

Excellent song structure, riffs, vocals and lyrics
Whilst fitting the songs very well, the simplistic and repetitive drums may irritate some.
