]I liked some of AAL's songs but about a third of the way through the album it started to faff about and seemed like mostly filler.

Not a fan of Boris, gojira, or periphery.

I used to listen to Anubis gate but I got bored of them.

Check out their latest if you haven't. I believe its a cut above. What about Symphony X's Iconoclast and Leprous Bilateral (still on GuitarWorld to listen too).

Has some interesting comments about each track.

New Machine Head is solid.

Currently listening it, but so far I have to comment that the production is TERRIBLE! Piercing compressed mess that almost rivals Death Magnetic. Oh god I really hope the actual disc doesnt sound like this and is caused by really low mp3 compression, because so far the songs have been really good.
 
 
*edit* Scratch that a bit, I was listening it with my Ultrasone Proline 750 which overhypes treble and upper midrange. HE5 is bit calmer, but sound quality is still bad.

i agree, listening to a cd rip, it sounds like total $hit...which is sad, cause i agree, i liked most of the songs on the cd... :/

I hate saying it but yeah, what is up with the production on this CD? I was upset about it when they released "Unsung."

This is easily Insomnium's best CD to date IMO (its WAY more dynamic than Above and Across even though I love those CDs too. However, at about 4-5 songs in on both of those discs, things start to sound the generally the same (good but formulaic), not so with Sorrow. Variety IS the spice of life! :)

I will await my copy which is being shipped from Finland for final judgement.

We got signed by Season of Mist!

"We are very proud to be on SOM's roster!" the band comments. "This covenant will enable us to release more haunting upon the world in the years to come. Furthermore we want to thank everyone (crew, friends, fans) for supporting us over the years, especially Phil / Maddening Media who put us on the map! A new horrific concept album is being written this autumn and recordings will start in less than two weeks. We promise you it will be darker and more epic than ever before!"

So first off...totally congrats...this is awesome...

Negakinu your recommendations have always been appreciated and you are my GO TO BME!

But now this means you must tour in the US...

And that means I should get a free ticket to a show...

In summary, your NEW goal is to play a show in the Tri-State and buy me a drink! :)
