good album, but not overwhelming

With "Construct" deliver the heroes of Melodic Death Metal Dark Tranquillity their latest album - and after publication of the first tracks it was clear that this in no way a direct descendant of the last works is might be expected. Dark Tranquillity present themselves rather by their gloomy and atmospheric side and give the clear vocals of Mikael Stanne in some songs more space. In any case, you have to praise the courage of the band, not again neuzuveröffentlichen an old album but to make something new - what is the band mostly well done.

Besides catchy hits like the ingenious "Endtime Hearts", my personal favorite, there are many great songs for which it is worth buying the album. "State Of Trust" lives of the absolutely successful combination of clean vocals and growls, "Uniformity" is has a catchy sing-along chorus and has deservedly by the band donated a video bekokmmen. Then building up and atmospheric songs like "Becoming None" or "For Broken Words" and titles like "Weight Of The End", which offer great guitar work and strengthen the manifest of the band. By contrast, there are unfortunately some songs which can not be measured with about mentioned. Songs such as "Apathetic" or even "What Only You Know" are more interchangeable and standard for the band. The tracklist of the album while listening also affects "The Science Of Noise" as the second title a bit out of place, since it partly quite similar with the opener and the suspense flips something, even if the song to fallen quite white. The bonus tracks "Immemorial" and "Photon Dreams" are also rather unnecessary and can convince hardly - a purchase of the Limited Edition should therefore be reconsidered ... more

The album is quite find many friends, also I like it overall quite good - some fans will be but that encounter rather stunned. Listen definitely times in the pre-release songs on Youtube and form an opinion! For basically the modern melodic death metal inclined towards listeners - with the emphasis rather is on the "Melodic" - recommended definitely - but not a must-buy.
