Dark Tranquillity's output is nothing if not consistent in quality, and this is true of The Mind's I as much as any album. Back then, the band were still searching for what would become the formula put to such expert use on the likes of We Are The Void, and it's interesting to hear The Mind's I and compare for fans who want to follow the band's development. That is, of course, melodic death metal as it should be, and Dark Tranquillity are one of the favourites out of that much-maligned subgenre. The Mind's I is a complex and important part of their career path, containing songs worth the price of the album on their own.
