User Reviews:		Your Review:
In comparison to latter day Edge of Sanity, Unorthodox comes across as much less godlike. While you can still hear the melodic guitar work, the music is generally more aggressive and less formidable than what I like. Unorthodox also lacks the songwriting that marks the majority of E.O.S.'s later material, as it is buried underneath blast beats and hyperspeed thrash riffs. When things do slow up, as in sections of "In the Veins/Darker Than Black", melodic snippets sneak out and do show some seriously sharp edges. Some of the other elements that add spice to later E.O.S. do appear here and there, such as slight keyboard undertones. But overall, this album just isn't gripping or strong enough to be anything but back catalogue filler for hardcore Edge of Sanity fanatics. Review by: Gravedaddy666 Ah, a classic! Most people appreicate Edge of Sanity more as the band who fused death metal with progressive and gothic forms, but here we have pure death metal with some atmospheric touches. THis album can stack up to any of the stokholm breed in my opinion. One this I like about this album is that its very focused and a bit less pretentious than later albums. It doesnt try to be some great experiment, just epic and well-structured songs that I find myself humming eternally. This was also when the band was truly focused as the songs from different members are nearly interchangable. Dans are of course the best! 5 out of 5 Review by: starchildo When I bought this one back in 98 I wasn't so much in Death Metal. I used to listen to Offspring and stuff like that (please don't spit on me :þ ). But I wasn't satisfied by those kind of music and I was seeking for something that could quench my thirst for a more heavy and melodic heavy music and guest what I found Edge of Sanity - Unorthodox. First the cover was so great that I almost bought it for that but when I listen to it it was a relief !! Damn this album is so great ! So dark and heavy with great melodic part in it. All the song are great on this one. You put it on your CD player and it flow like a dream. If you like Melodic Death Metal with an old school touch this one is for you !! A must have in all Death Metaller's collection !! Review by: darkann		Use the textarea below to write your review of this album.
