Edge of Sanity

^Twilight is a great track. One of their best IMO.

As for the second question, Crimson is one solitary track with no breaks or dividisions. I am sure that their intention was not to "force" the 40 minutes on you... you will be more than willing to hear the album in its entirety. There are NO sections worth skipping. -Jeff

^some, but ultimately Crimson sound very different from Opeth. A comparison in some respects is valid enough though.

Yep Caio that would be Arch Enemy.

While extremely gifted most melodic death metal acts that I have heard sound generic and way too polished for my taste. There are of course always exceptions where the concept works ( I do enjoy several melodic death metal acts and that includes some of the G�thenburg acts too). The rough singing in the vers/ clean melodic singing in the chorus kind of melodic death metal has grown extremely stale by now IMO but Edge of Sanity was never a part of that scene even though their brand of death metal is certainly melodic.

We'll do the reviewing

True, but there are melodic death metal bands with good overall records, like Opeth. EoS (or Dan Sw�no actually) apparently focused all their efforts in Crmson. Many of Dan Sw�no's solo efforts are also great melodic DM albums, like his solo album Moontower (which has some minor prog influences, IMO at least).

That's because they are melodic death metal.

I don't like any of their albums besides Crimson I & II, because they sound waaaaaaaaay too much like melodic death metal. BTW, am i the only one here that thinks that Swede melodic DM sucks? I really can't stand it .
