  • Week #8 Insomnium - Above the Weeping World Selected by Marcus Overall Score: 8 ______________________________________________________________________________ Jason’s Review: Creativity/Artistry: 8Talent/Instrument Skill: 8Structure/ Composition: 8Replayability: 9Growth/ Maturity: 8 Average: 8.1 Comment: I got really heavy into Finnish metal around this time last year, so listening to Insomnium takes me back, even though this is my first time with this band. It’s not particularly inventive in terms of the current metal scene, and I can think of a couple of other Finnish metal bands I’d listen to over these guys, but there’s definitely a sound here that agrees with my flavor of metal. I love it. It’s almost like modern-day metal viking dirges. If you like these guys, I would definitely recommend checking out Before the Dawn and Omnium Gatherum among others. Best Songs: “Change of Heart” & “The Killjoy” ______________________________________________________________________________ Marcus’s Review: Creativity/Artistry: 8Talent/Instrument Skill: 7Structure/ Composition: 8Replayability: 9Growth/ Maturity: 7 Average: 7.8 Comment: Love it. Solid song structures. Above average instruments. No one really stands out so they mesh well together as a whole. My only wish would be for more melodic, recognizable chorus’s. I’m really enjoying metal week. Best Songs: “In the Groves of Death” ________________________________________________________________________________ EDIT THIS POST TO ADD YOUR REVIEW BELOW.
