'Haven' is still good, but I prefer this one, but I can understand why it was met with such hostility. What needs to be addressed immediately are the glaring departures in approach that are "UnDo Control" and "Day to End". I will say this - Stanne is one my fav vocalists of all time (at least his growling vocals). So if you love DT, get this and you'll probably come to like it after a few listens.
Amazing work by all musicians in terms of the songwriting. For the most part it works, except for the clean vocals. 1.
But, its pretty good for what it is..........a metal Depeche Mode. This is the oldest goth/melodic death album I’ve ever heard, I certainly know that some of their most devoted fans didn't like this change of sound, thats why I think it was a huge risk, but worth it, they also gain many many new fans. I'll go get this later on today. When melodic death is played right, it comes in the form that Dark Tranquillity plays here on this "Projector" release.
Therein, easily the best track of the entire album is absolutely wonderful. He puts much sincere emotion into the deep vocals. No weak points on any of the songs. Some of the music here is undeniably superior to everything else they've done. The albums that followed this were much better, IMO. Projector marks a bit of a change in Dark Tranquillity's direction, though it isn't exactly a major departure from the band's older songs. $25.00 VIEW. 8. Not a good review in my book. I thinkDoberman is the only song I heard here.
Unfortunately, the only bad details of the album are these long atmospheric passages that some songs have, like “There in” from 3:47 to 4:26 where is just a repetitive atmosphere piece. Talk about an amazing vocalist! But, I must admit that this did grow on me where I now enjoy spinning this disc quite often. Projector is their most melodic album yet released. The guys can obviously play well and the production is perfect (thank you, Fredrik Nordstrom), but the material is lacking variety and energy in my opinion. This album is really good, I'm going to give this another spin tonight to refresh my memory of it. (though imo Undo Control is one of the worst) Good, but nothing exceptional. To A Bitter Halt 6. The good news is, the band moved on after this cd back into a heavier direction, as evidenced by Haven and Damage Done. Between these “goth” elements there’s the low tone of the clean vocals of Mikael Stanne, who switches to the death metal growls that he has done in the last albums; there’s also acoustic guitars, atmospheric synths, and a lot of delay and reverb effects for guitar.
It’s one of the catchiest Dark Tranquillity songs ever written, complete with melodic guitar hooks and Stanne vocal work. A lot has changed since “The Gallery”, one of their greatest albums where the sound was harsh, fast but yet melodic. Well, it is. Again, proceed with exteme caution with this one, even if you are a DT fan. They managed to mix some obscure goth – rock (perhaps goth metal) elements to melodic death metal. The vocals never get soft and same goes for the guitar, it is always heavy and the guitarist throws in a nice solo halfway through the song. Of course there's variety, he mixes clean vocals with raspy ones according to the music. Digging: Greg Puciato - Child Soldier: Creator of God. The crunch tone distortion from the guitars features riffs that are original and innovative. The upbeat string intro is followed by a majestic guitar riff, after which vocalist Michael Stanne steps in with some powerful roaring to throw everything into high gear. On the other songs there is more of a mixture of the vocal styles, and it sounds magnificent all the way. Tracks three, four, five, seven, eight and ten has that great feeling going, while "Freecard", "There In" and "Dobermann" are on the mediocre side of things. In order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading. Take it as that, a mediorce release, but followed up by 2 good cds. The changes made from previous records are partly in their song structure, with more open arrangements, more space in the songs, a slight change of pace and overall shorter songs. It is the last Dark Tranquillity release with Fredrik Johansson.
Its standable, but not all that likable. At any rate, Johnansson gets an effective sendoff in the form of "The Sun Fired Blanks", which wouldn't sound out of place on The Gallery. Dark Tranquillity started out with a more heavier, and brutal sound, but they would later go on to mature and evolve into a brilliant and incredible melodic death metal powerhouse, and their fourth album "Projector" is a fine example of that. For example in the haunting and very melodic and Metallica/"The Unforgiven" sounding song "Auctioned" you have "...my lip was venom/words formed in my mouth/hid beneath the tounge/never to be seen.
I rarely judge albums solely by heaviness, but always by quality of the songs, and I think that here DT reached the peak of their songwriting abilities. The best songs and most representative ones are “Free card”, “There in” and “Undo Control”, where the parts of clean vocals sound like well done gothmetal, and the growled parts sound like darkened melodeath. After viewing product detail pages, look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in. No longer aiming for the aggressive riff-fest which acts such as Arsis or The Absence draw inspiration from today, Dark Tranquillity instead opts for a deeper, more complete offering. As the album progresses, it just keeps growing on you. Having finally listened, re-listened, analyzed, and cherished this disc, I can say with certainty that “Projector” is one of Dark Tranquillity's finest. So that's it, a very good CD, with a quite unique style and at least 2 great and 4 good songs. Anyhow, the band improved eventually and evolved into something more agressive (Damage Done, Character).
An album that was so well mixed, nothing is left out. It's not that I don't like heavier Metal, or I didn't hear previous Dark Tranquility CDs. If you can stomach that check out the rest of Projector, as it certainly has it's moments. Please try again. However, despite my hate for Gothenburg-sounding bands this CD still leaves me impressed. And "Projector" unfortunately lacks the kind of dynamics that would make it a really killer album. of "Undo Control" and "Auctioned" is definitely the best couple of songs this band ever wrote. Clean vocals, thats what. This cd shouldn't be totally slagged nor loved. "Projector" used to be one of my absolute favourites before I got sick of easy listening metal. I never was able to get into that song, in my opinion; it is the weakest of the album. I would not like it too if I was a hardcore fan of them _before_ hearing this album, but I became a fan _after_ hearing it, and that explains the difference of this review from the previous one.
So, assuming that whoever reads it doesn't know who DT are and what do they play on this album, I'll try to give a brief description. None of them were half-assed or unskilled.
This album saw the band moving into new territory with cleaner vocal sections, stronger hooks, and overall, a more orchestrated sound. In a personal opinion I really enjoy this album, it has very deep vocals, catchy but introspective lyrics, and I like the sound of depression and aggression in the same song. Also a great introduction to whoever wants to approach Death Metal from its softer side. Where this albums successor, "Haven", has very little appeal beyond catchiness, this has depth. from $25.00 VIEW. DARK TRANQUILLITY Construct CD. Heck, the first time I listened to the piano intro that starts "Freecard", I raised my eyebrow like the Rock and when the clean vocals of "Therein" kicked in, I put this thing away immediately. But at the same time, I fail to see why it's considered so great. It starts off with a nice piano introduction and then goes on to the heavy guitar riffs, and returns in the end to conclude with the same piano as in the beginning. 10 tracks (50:04). FreeCard 2. DARK TRANQUILLITY Old School Gothenburg T-Shirt. Very emotional song. Now, one would instantly think that the pussy side of a melodic band like this would be terrible at best. They remind me of that band for 2 reasons: Stanne's clean vocals and some of the keyboard atomosheric material on the album. One song that only I seem to like is 'Day to end'.
The latter features Stanne's burly clean inflection alongside throbbing swells of electronics.
There's a problem loading this menu right now. This is the one DT album I have still yet to check out. It opens with female vocals, until the usual DT vocals kick in, but only for a short period before the female vox come back. The next song, Nether Novas, is one of the most solid tracks of the album. Sorry to say it, but it's too soft for me. A lot of it falls flat though, as some of the heavier songs like "Nether Novas" seem less sure of themselves, wafting back and forth between heavy and subdued. Some bands do it basically every cd, like Amorphis or the Gathering, while others take a few cds, like In Flames. One of my friends said it sucked big time. The best part of the song is when there is the slow guitar riff (I wouldn’t call it a solo), it is so catchy, I heard the song once, and a week later, I was singing that small guitar riff, but could not remember where I heard it. DarkDryad. That would be musically, as well as with Michael's use of clean and growled vocals. Dark Tranquillity’s fourth studio album is, in my opinion, their best.
Since you are speaking about "his is definitely a good album, it's just missing something" and their change in direction. The sticky leads coexist marvelously with the grooving verses, making this one a keeper at the end of the day. I'm not even kidding, the biggest appeal of this album is centered around the slower, moodier stylistic departures like "UnDo Control". Best viewed without Internet Explorer, in 1280 x 960 resolution or higher.
This band really was creative in this offering and probably in my opinion their best work, surely surpassing "The Minds I" for sure. It is not excellent, but still is a good song. The songs themselves are so well played to perfection. I originally listened to this album with low expectations.

A big reason for this is that Mikael Stanne is a clean vocalist of high class. I can say that he actually sings with such passion.
FreeCard (“Projector”, 1999) Gothic pianos and melancholy drives this song more than anything else, making it a great introduction to the “Projector” album. Using the clean and “growly” vocals, these are nice songs to end Projector. "UnDo Control" is a horse of another color, featuring saccharine female vocals alongside more agitated verses. Hell, on the two tracks “Day to End” and “Auctioned” he sings clean vocals throughout, and with great result. Highlights : Freecard, Therein, Undo Control, Auctioned, The Sun Fired Blanks, Day to End. The main riff of that song is very catchy; it is what made me like this song and what made me want to get further into Dark Tranquillity. And I really prefer Mikael's menacing snarl on the vocal front, he sounds distinctive and more coherent than the average grunter/growler.
