DT has a fantastic discography overall. Projector might be my favourite and I strongly disagree about filler tracks on the album. The band made some bold choices for the album and is arguably their most inspired and creative work to date. I get why people were turned off to clean vocals initially, but a large part of that was immaturity in the audience thinking that all metal needed to be brutal all the time. Finding the balance between crushing riffs and melodic vocals / keys is what makes DT stand above the rest of the genre imo. They were ahead of their time in that regard. Also, dude give a like to My Negation on Character!! That song rocks!!

I can't say whether I like Construct or Atoma more. The first DT song I listened to was For Broken Words back when I was in friggin middle school. I listened to that song every day on repeat. I always hated listening to new music because if I liked the music, I needed to buy the whole album and when I had my own music library, I was spending my father's money and he would yell at me for buying music. So in 2016 when they came out with Atoma, I was instantly hooked and bought the album. Then I was like well I have a song from Construct so might as well check that out too. I really liked Construct and then bought that too. I haven't listened to Moment yet; I don't think I'm ready to stop listening to Construct or Atoma yet.

But after 2000 the tide turned more and more to other great bands like DT, Soilwork and now Insomnium and more great new stuff. Personally I love most of those bands but some aged better than others for me. Dark Tranquillity did great in the 2010s and is still going strong as Soilwork and At The Gates are. Great list. Enjoyed it very much. Atoma is my number one

i think you mentioned it between the lines. the different likes concerning the different albums are based on what time you learned about them. guys like me in the age of dark tranquallity themselves "grew up" with swedish death metal in the early 90s. stuff like nihilist / unanimated / gates of ishtar...but nothing, not even today, came/comes close to what dark tranquillity gave the metal world with the gallery. its just the definition of perfection. when i hear now kids between 14-20 they are mostly used to more modern music, not only in production, but as well on stilistics. for me, when projector was released, late 90s i guess, i liked the album, though it did hardly sound like dark t. and then came the era of losing sound (productions were weak, no more heavy bassdrum, too much keys) and adding enterntaining elements, but the ones from my generation didnt really follow the evolution of them. not that they were bad, but just not interesting anymore. so, i only have 3 albums i can rate, because the rest is to me all the same with hardly any change. and yes, i do own every album physically ;) the gallery - best album of all times, ahead of maiden, metallica and the cardigans skydancer - shadow duet, a bolt of blazing gold, through ebony archways....aparty from the poor production the minds i - changed the sound for more riff oriented heavy metal songwriting. still precious. and the production is pure awesomeness. nr4 projector. hmm, yes, its good, but well....to me still the better sound than the one they play now.

Well, my Dark Tranquillity trilogy is Haven / Damage Done / Character. These albums sound powerful, are musically outstanding and have brilliant songwriting. It's best at its best in melodic death metal. When it comes to Fiction though, I have some issues. It isn't a bad album but I still see it as kind of collection of B-side tracks from Character. It also is the last DT album I can enjoy. I don't understand the later ones.
