WooooooooooooooW ! Great album

I'm still waiting for the original CD to arrive, why is it taking so long? Anyway, I have high expectations.

Really a good album,,,,at last a good release in 2010

anyway in this album they sound more like Opeth!!

I just got the album and will give it a listen soon

Loving this album right now, a lot more progressive and varied than their first, even without a classic track such as "The Black Lodge". I do however feel that "For You To Know" and "The Final Solution" are a perfect intro and closing track.

Superb !

Listened to the album about 20 times now and I'm still discovering something new, that's art for you.
I'm still deciding between 9 and 10 at this point. I'm also mentally comparing it to their first release and trying to understand why it stands out so much.

I can say for now that In Mourning proved that their first album wasn't a fling, that they actually have something special to give. That's how I see them anyway.

Great album...very good

I am very impressed so far with just the first song
A lot of stuff progressive fans will be drawn to in this album
[the final solution ]Apply the meaning
good work

It's great. I've got to try not to listen to this too much like i might have done with Shrouded Divine, otherewise i'll wear it out.. haha. But a very good band.

Hello, Opeth and Dark Tranquillity. good, but originality - 0

Are you serious? Really? Where do you hear Dark Tranquillity in this record? Really would like to know.

Maybe not entirely original, but as i read a comment by some wise person on youtube saying, "There is something refreshing about this band, even if they aren't original," I certainly agree with them...

I think people are biased towards this band, most of them will listen to them because someone told them it sounds like Opeth and they listen to their records with that in mind. And when you want to find something so badly, you will.

I came to that conclusion long ago. It's why I ignore their opinions, alongside their overrated praise of Opeth in general. Album of the year for me so far.

good thing I never heard the Opeth comparison before listening to their debut, or else I probably wouldn't even listen to them

That aside, I think I prefer "Monolith" slightly over to "Shrouded Divine" after a couple more spins. Defo among the best of 2010 so far

Great release indeed...I don't know, but if you ask me I found this stuff sounding quite original. However, yet I'm not sure if it has outs the ''Shrouded Divine'', which is also an exellent album, but the path takes place in the right way.

I've been listening to this a lot. Its a very original piece and it always amazes me. I think these guys have the potential to stand out through the Death metal scene. I cant say progressive-wise cause there's a lot of great new bands out there right now, but when it comes to death... the style needs a new refresh sound and this is very good example.

LOVE this album. The first song annoys me a bit because the clean vocals sounds like Jonathan Davis! Luckily it doesnt happen again...the music is fucking stellar though. Just goes to show you dont need crazy solos to make a good melodic death album. All you need is good songwriting, interesting structure and some innovation. Super album which should rate way higher than 8.2/10 imo.

No for the Jonathan Davis comparison, yes for the rest of your post.

No... and no. Opeth = 'Opeth', Dark Tranquillity = 'Dark Tranquillity'. In Mourning, sounds like their own band... it would be advisable to listen to a band without making comparisons every single time - generally speaking, not just aimed at you. For what makes them sound like Dark Tranquillity or Opeth?

Clean passages mixed with heavy parts? I don't hear the comparison and I listen to all three of those bands quite extensively.

The Opeth comparison to a degree, but not to the degree that you are referring to - not to the point of In Mourning being unoriginal. They have their own sound. If you want complete Opeth rip-off listen to Ikuinen Kaamos, thats just blatant.

I dont hear any DT in In Mourning, not even the slightest bit. You might be confused.

Strange that i listened to Ikuinen Kaamos and i thought just the same...anyway i think Opeth influence appears in their song structure a lot ...listen to The Final Solution song it is seemlier to a lot of Opeth songs in terms in song structure ,,anyway i think they done well with their songwriting.

This album is better than I expected.

Im fucking addicted to this album!

Not good as previous album !

Easily superior to their previous album. If someone drew Opeth comparisons at Shrouded Divine I would've understood but this album is a beast of it's own, completely different in style and inflection.

This album is like an opium!Songs are so good,and lyrics are amazing!I can't help but wonder who julia is,and if somebody knows anything please tell me!Most of the songs,if not all,are about her!And the music fits incredibly with the dark atmosphere of lyrics!!maybe it's a weird conclusion but i don't know better to describe this album:) too bad it's not better rated,because of the few voters who don't even listen to this type of music,but never mind!

Great..
Thats what i expected!!

I can't understand how some ppl voted 1,2,3 on this album. I can understand ppl thinking ts average or even "ok", but that's purely negativism toward the band because they are obviously talented whether you like them or not.
