Hymns for the broken

"Evergrey have done what very few others have: return from the wretched land of perpetual mediocrity to release an album that in many ways is stunning given where they've been of late. It is the culmination of their entire career and the result of everything the band has endured. They inadvertently created inspiration for themselves by continuing the project when there wasn't sufficient reason for doing so; now there is a reason. There is no magic formula for writing great music and there are always intangibles that are hard to identify when it does happen; Hymns for the Broken has plenty of them. Evergrey took bits and pieces of what made them special in the late '90s and early 00's and forged it into a new experience that could reasonably be called their best work to date".

"Ved første gennemlytning lyder pladen som en 61 minutter lang powerballade, med storladne vokalmelodier, blæsende heltesoloer og masser af vind i håret. Men efter at have dykket dybere ned i musikken, bliver det tydeligt at der gemmer sig stor prog-metal kompetence under facaden af helterock ... Hymns for the Broken er én lang episk powerballade, hvor progressiv kompetence og kreativ sangskrivning skinner i gennem flere steder".
