Throw the cd in the player and let it go, or your computerized music player...whatever just listen to it beginning to end. This album is fucking awsome. I love how it feels like one long song, and the violins are an interesting but much aproved addition to the dreary atmosphere of this album. Am I alone in saying this is by far At the Gates best album? (yes IMO better than Slaughter of Souls...by ALOT).

Ive only heard a few songs from it and i liked them. Its definitly different.

:P

the real prize is the demos on their suicidal final art album. i dont know what the dudes problem is, but , man, when he says EVER OPENING FLOWER it sounds ridiculously gay

__________________

Hahaha, he does have some very gay sounding vocal stuff. On the song slaughter of the soul, every time he says "and we have sawn" or whatever, he ends it with such a gay accent. And he also ruined the burning darkness...

No no no no, gardens of grief was. "The Red...." is one of my favourtie at the gates albums and windows is one of their best songs.

Im not a fan of thier older shit. Slaughter Of THe Soul Definitely raped major ass

This review of slaughter of the soul sums up my opinion perfectly,

Slaughter of the Soul (Earache,1996)
Despite the sleek package and amazing production, this is the At the Gates sellout album. It has not fallen to the depths of later Carcass or new Metallica, but it has dropped the progressive stylings in favor of very typical speed metal done with a slight technical flair but mostly, through its rough permutations and basic sense of pentatonic harmonics, it remains dressed-up heavy metal as a sad coda to the career of the Gothenburg band. The same self-unravelling harmonizing riffs, liquid solos and strong sense of color of sound are here, but each has gone through a sanitizing process to be brought closer to mainstream music, demonstrating that what is technique is far from what constitutes the artistic content of each song. For most At the Gates listeners, they will believe this album is their favorite until they hear it ten years from now in the context of other At the Gates works, in which case they will see this as a transparent commercial album made to pander to the middle of the metal audience.

It's so true that it makes me laugh with joy.
