Dark Tranquillity -- Raleigh, NC -- May 11th, 2010

[The Green and Black]

Dark Tranquility should be proud of (The Gallery) instead of being bitchy because they can not and will never live up to it or top it.

Get over yourselves already, and play the material people actually want to hear.

The Gallery is hella overrated. Their recent albums and their first album are much better.

Not bad. Take out Haunting and put in Faceless and take out Counterbalance and put in Inane and it would be a pretty good setlist.

And really CapnAwesome, Threat Signal being metalcore....

Threat Signal sounded like a more sped up All That Remains, which are...alas...metalcore. They don't sound like a melodic death metal band, regardless of what they're classified under

I'm beginning to think you and Fonzbear are sharing the same stash.

As much as I love The Gallery, Fiction is still my favorite DT album that I have. The Gallery is probably number two.

This post should be directed at In Flames. I think DT does embrace their past and I'm sure they are proud of their early records.

That other band I mentioned... not so much.

I'm fine with most of the set being from We Are The Void, I mean after all, it's the "We Are The Void Tour" so I expect to see a good amount of new material

The problem lies with trying to play too many songs from the most recent album not counting the newest. Most bands succumb to this whenever they have released multiple records measuring a long time span. In this case, WAYYY TOO MANY Fiction songs. While Fiction is one of their better works imo, this is not a Fiction tour, and there should only be 2-3 Fiction songs MAX. I say this because they have a rather extensive catalog, and with 6 WATV songs and 4 Fiction songs the set list has no room for creativity. I'm satisfied with this show because I wanted to A) See DT again, and B) see the new songs performed live, and those did not disappoint. However "long setlist filled with difficult old and new songs" does not mean play 1 song from pre-1999 when 1/3 of your discography is from that era. I could go on about how they lack creativity from choosing songs from each album (ie why is Wonders at Your Feet the only Haven song played, same with ThereIn from Projector) but I don't want to complain TOO much

i don't know why everyone always says Threat Signal is a shitty metalcore band. if you've listened to their stuff at all you'd see they're not metalcore.

i'm not a big fan of them but i really wish they'd play When All is Said is Done.

I actually like the new one a lot.
