Also enjoyed revisiting Dark Tranquillity's Construct. I don't think it's held in particularly high regard...I guess it's not quite as energetic as their usual...to me it's a bit like their "gothic metal" album. They always have melancholic undertones, but in this one the mood is almost consistently somber.
Interesting, I would give that title to
Projector, my favorite of theirs. I guess it's time to revisit this one. The "other" DT were one of my favorite bands in the 00s, but I kind of overplayed
Fiction, as much as I loved it, and burned out on them for awhile. Combined with a change in life circumstances, and I wasn't in the right mood for WATV and
Construct when they came out. I heard more positive things about
Atoma, so I spent a bit more time with that one, but the early 10s material has been the black hole in their discography that remains underexplored.
Edit: Just finished listening to
Construct for the first time in quite awhile. Definitely better than I remembered. I don't think the atmosphere is as thick as
Projector, with fewer of those shimmering clean guitars and clean vocals from Stanne, but "Uniformity", "The Silence In Between", and "Photon Dreams" stood out in particular and I should probably come back to it more often.
