Haven is the fifth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity, released on 25 July 2000. This release is the first recorded as a six-piece, the first to feature Mikael Niklasson and Martin Brändström, and the first release with Martin Henriksson on guitar, switching from his previous position on bass.

Style

Haven retains some of the death metal elements of past albums, adding more electronics and more polished production. Mikael Stanne mostly uses harsh vocals, but his clean vocals that were prominent on the previous album, Projector, are used on "Emptier Still" and bonus track "In Sight", the latter showing more of a cleanly-sung rock style.

Reception

Like the previous album, Projector, critical reception was mixed. Guitarist Niklas Sundin has been quite critical of the album, stating that this is his least favourite Dark Tranquillity album, considering it "too safe in places" and stating that the album "could probably benefit from more variation".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Despite the mixed feelings towards Haven, MetalGuru listed it #5 in its "Retro 2000 Top 5 Albums."<ref>[1] Template:Dead link</ref> AllMusic called it "inspired" and a "career milestone".<ref name=AllMusic/> Template:Music ratings
