Construct is the tenth studio album by Swedish melodic death metal band Dark Tranquillity.

[2] The album was written during what the band described as their "darkest period"[3] and drew critical praise for its melodrama[4] and darkness.

I rarely want to talk about non-musical stuff in interviews, but as a science buff and skeptic I have to take the opportunity to recommend every UFO or conspiracy theorist to read Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World".

Henriksson reduced his role in arranging the songs, while keyboardist Martin Brandstrom, guitarist Niklas Sundin, and drummer Anders Jivarp served as the principal songwriting team.

[8] The band commented on the style of the album, saying, "While still bearing the unmistakable mark of the Dark Tranquillity, the record is probably our most different and diverse offering since 1999's Projector".

You don’t sing about being mildly skeptical of a certain amount of people behaving in a slightly disagreeable way and that you would prefer if they please could consider changing their behavior.

[9] Describing the band as "legendary", Chad Bowar of About.com remarked, "it's no surprise that Dark Tranquillity has delivered another quality album with Construct.

[11] Kyle Ward of Sputnikmusic compared Construct with the band's 1999 album Projector, due to the character of the experimentation, and praised the album's atmosphere as "the most palpable and poignant of their entire discography, due in large part to its focus on dark, melodramatic tones in the synths and the swift, tight melodies that make up the guitar leads".
