 Im listening to it now! ( holiheadbanger6 )
This cd is great. Sentenced kills. I wish I could have seen them live. But, that's not going to happen. Wish they didn't break up. This is a well put together album. Buy it.

 buy odyssey into darkness by elegeion ( ramtam )
this album has got a kinda refreshing feel to it, like being at an open window at the top of a skyscraper in a city on a cool windy night. the song "crumbling down" is a great song, one of only a few that can give me goosebumps anymore. it has great lyrics, (which i think is somewhat of a rarety among most bands) music and female (and male) vocals. these qualities are present all the way through the album, apart from the female vocals which don't appear much (only twice in fact). in terms of genre i don't really care what they are because they're so good, but they're kinda nu-metal heaviness with much better music and fantastic lyrics about the S!£$ne*s of life. P.S.the word above this isn't a mistake it's censored(but this word is a mistake) obdviously.

 Not as good as previous albums ( nirgil )
This album marked a yet another transition in Sentenced career with the departure of singer / bassist Taneli Jarva and the introduction of new vocalist Ville.The vocals are in a rough James Hetfield style that may broaden appeal to traditional rock / metal fans. Musicaly speaking, songs have been greatly simplified in a verse-chorus rock format and use a similar formula. The pace is fast and reminiscent of Ride The Lightning era Metallica. This album is nowhere near Amok & the Love & Death EP - mainly because it falls into generic metal or dark rock. This is still a decent album and a fun listen. Highlights are: Noose, bleed, crumbling down, 0132, I'll throw the first rock.

Excellence ( wyld_stallyn )
Down is a blend of Crimson and Amok. Some of the deathy sound is still present, but Ville's (new vocalist) voice is still great. The female vocals on this album are a fresh change and the riffs are much heavier than Frozen and Crimson. A must buy for Sentenced fans and metal fans as well.

Sentenced's Best CD ( divinejustice )
This is one of the best cds I've ever heard. It is a fine example of dark melodic metal done the right way, the finnish way. Everything about this cd is perfect, from the dark suicidal lyrics to the almost pop-sounding riffs to Ville's amazing voice. And lets not forget Miika Tenkula's amazing songwriting talents. This is truly a band to be reckoned with. If you are at all interested in this kind of metal, I tell you to stop hesitating and buy this now. Every single track is good, but standout tracks include "Bleed", "Warrior Of Life" and "I'll Throw The First Rock". I also want to point out the excellent instrumentals, the intro "The Gate" and "0132". Most bands don't have many instrumentals these days and this is something we need to see more of. Frozen even has three!
