I’m reviving this topic because finally, despite the usual delay (I know, I know, it's not the first time this has happened, but I have too many groups to follow, and the fact that I listen to almost all metal genres doesn't make it easier XD), I’ve listened to “Fiction” by Dark Tranquillity. A preamble: The band has always been a separate entity in the rigid metal universe, capable of creating revolutionary and definitive works for Melodic Death Metal, only to then produce albums like “Projector” and “Haven,” marked by experimentation. The most nitpicky critics might argue that the expressive renewal has gone out the window in their recent works, “Fiction” included. This is partly true, but as long as Dark Tranquillity continues to produce such inspired music, we certainly can't complain: as is tradition, the encounter of diametrically opposed sounds is sealed. Thus, we have room for emphatic riffs, exhausting rhythms, and piano sensations. The result is a varied and immediate fresco, but this does not mean it lacks a substantial dose of refinement. Above it all looms the exceptional voice of Stanne, among the best clean/growl vocals alongside Aaron Stainthorpe (My Dying Bride) and Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth), unstoppable in growl, seductive in clean. Among the standout compositions, I can mention the furious bitterness of “Nothing To One,” the shock of “The Lesser Faith,” the almost apocalyptic “The Particle Storm,” and the duet with Neil, “The Mundane And The Magic,” where echoes of “Projector” emerge.
An additional confirmation.

but it's stunning!!! incredibly good as always

I’m posting on this topic to tell you that I’ve listened to “Karmacode.” I should preface that I’ve never particularly appreciated the band (not that I hated them, but still), perhaps due to the repetitiveness of their songs. Listening to Karmacode, which has consecrated the combo among the bands that matter, they are once again putting themselves to the test. The change in sound strikes immediately: Korn-like guitars and increasingly straightforward compositions. Unfortunately, this episode is also not free from monotony, and it becomes even more evident that each track, taken individually, has the potential to be a hit, but the rest lacks bite. Furthermore, 7 songs have practically similar intros!
Who knows what they will come up with for the next album.

I'm posting on this topic to tell you that I listened to "Karmacode." I must say I have never particularly appreciated the band (not that I disliked them, mind you), perhaps due to the repetitiveness of their songs. Upon listening to Karmacode, which has solidified the band's place among the notable acts, they once again challenge themselves. The immediate impact of the sound change is striking: guitars reminiscent of Korn and increasingly straightforward compositions. Unfortunately, this release is not without monotony; it becomes even more apparent that each song taken individually could be a potential hit, but the rest lacks bite. Moreover, 7 tracks have virtually identical intros!

With the listening of Karmacode, which consecrated the combo among the bands that matter, they are once again challenging themselves. The change in sound immediately strikes you at first listen: Korn-like guitars and increasingly straightforward compositions. Unfortunately, this episode is not free from monotony; it becomes even more evident that each song taken individually could be a potential hit, but the rest lacks bite. Moreover, 7 tracks have practically the same intro!

As for the review, I agree with some points, but a true reviewer does not resort to cheap insults (it’s crap) – that’s far too easy...

The review is written quite well, but there are too many clichés.
