Some bands catch Magic in a bottle on their 1st release,and never reach those levels again,While others,.. build and improve on their previous albums and continually deliver excellent releases. Death Metal pioneers, Dark Tranquillity are one of those bands that have been around A Long Time..They have refined & perfected their Sound,And rarely disappoint. FICTION is no exception...Perfect balance of Brutality,& melody..with lots of diversity.The songs are extremely well written with,Great riffs,catchy hooks,keyboards that add extra atmosphere,Without being obtrusive.DARK TRANQUILLITY has infused alot of variety into this album,with Songs ranging from....Fast Thrash,to Medium Tempo, Death Metal to eventual, Slow Goth Metal. Mikael,As Always, does excellence with Vocals...Varied w/aggression,and understandable Rasp. DARK TRANQUILLITY are the Godfathers of the Gothenburg Metal Sound,& could easily rest on them Laurels alone,But...they still prove, They Are The Best.FICTION, Very Impressive And Memorable Album.Read full review
I bought this product because I like genre of melodic death metal. Dark Tranquillity, along with In Flames and Opeth (all Swedish bands, where the style originated, incidentally) are some of the most prominent bands to pioneer melo-death metal. I own other CD's by DT and they are easily my favorite band. Fiction, their latest work, is Good. I don't rate it Excellent as it didn't meet all my expectations. But overall it's a great album, a worthy addition to my library. Some specific songs on the album actually deserve the rating of Excellent, but that's from the realm of idiosyncracies of one's taste. Highly recommend this product.
bought this CD for my daughter's boyfriend, because she couldn't find it anywhere in any CD shops; actually was very hard to find anywhere - so i turned to the internet. was very well priced and came quickly!
