Once the tiny instrumental filler "Nexion 218" ends, "Beyond The Horizon" kicks off the album. The riff is catchy and heavy, yet seems rather dull. By the sound of the riff, it's clear that Dissection has lost all black metal elements and gone pure melodic death. Jon's vocals are powerful and forceful as usual, but that's all "Beyond The Horizon" has going for it. The drumming is remarkably easy with simple bass-snare patterns, the same riff continues for the entire track, and there is even a breakdown. "Beyond The Horizon" is nothing less than a disaster.

"Starless Aeon" is up next, and its nothing better then "Beyond The Horizon." The double bass parts and the opening riff give the song a promising start, but it soon fades into pure crap. The guitars change into a riff that is almost identical with "Beyond The Horizon," and this same riff continues until the song ends.There are leads in here, which are pretty scarce throughout the rest of the album, but they are short and boring.

"Black Dragon" is thankfully breathing room from the s*** that has previously been displayed. The acoustic intro leads right into Jon's gruff vocals, which soon explodes into an amazing solo and awesome instrumental work. The drums are filled with great double bass work and the mix of the heavy and acoustic guitars really makes "Black Dragon" a
standout. The chorus is catchy, the leads are technical, and it's very heavy! "Black Dragon" is the best song on "Reinkaos," by a long shot. "Dark Mother Divine" is a big step down from "Black Dragon." To my disdain, the riffs are melodic and sound pretty typical to "Beyond The Horizon" and "Starless Aeon." Towards the end of the song, the guitars turn thrashy and goes into a flock of solos. Beside this change toward the end, "Dark Mother Divine" is just another weak track on "Reinkaos."

"Xeper-I-Set" is just awful. Filled with the same lame riffs and drum patterns as before, "Xeper-I-Set" is just another dreadful attempt to try to save this horrendous letdown. "Chaosophia" is just a worthless acoustic instrumental that isn't even worth mentioning, but "God Of Forbidden Light" is! The riffing is much more different then the previous songs; its still melodic, but it does change many times. The backing vocals compliment Jon's vocals very well as they echo every Satanic verse he delivers; the drumming is good as well. The chorus is memorable and Jon's vocals drive "God Of Forbidden Light" to one of the best songs on "Reinkaos."

The title track is an instrumental that sounds somewhat different from the rest of the album. The atmospheric guitars are combined well with the heavy drumming, and the harmonics are dark and piece together nicely. The solo here is pretty technical and atmospheric, which really adds a mellow effect to the song. The guitars change to a slight
groovish riff toward the end, which connects smoothly with the solo.

"Internal Fire" falls into the familiar vein of the repetitive melodic riffing that never changes and usual drum patterns that are boring as hell. Once "Internal Fire" finally stops, the album closes "Maha Kali," which contains the similar melodic riffs and drums as before. Toward the end, there is this strange addition of acoustic guitars and female
vocals that really don't fit with the mood of the song. The female vocals are rather faint and hard to hear; it is a clever idea to try something new, they just didn't do it very well.

And Fredrik....you can suck my balls.

This is the problem with folks who can´t seperate the bands from an image..

Same thing with Metallica, when their "St Anger" came almost everyone said it sucked, but is that really the case?? I rather want to think that people who always has been listening to Metallica has picture om Metallica being a certain band, and then when changing things they become bad???

Nope St Anger is also a very good album, as is Reinkaos...

You say that the vocals from the female in Maha Kali doesnt fit the song. It couldnt be better. With some fantasy you can imagine a litter indian girl who shows her adoration for Maha Kali.

You also claims that Starless aeon sounds like beyond the horizon, so?? whats wrong with that. When you make an album the riffs can be similar. Listen to all slayer albums or listen to "The somberlain" and you will understand.

Your review is actually the most worthless one ever.

The reason why so many dislikes it is because they dont dare to say its good. When band change their style "you have to dislike it". Same with many other bands...People who make rewiev, please save us your words, and instead of writing crap, write what you think about it not what the mass say.
