 | | Realistically, the tightly constructed production was to be expected, and the real driving force behind Arch Enemy 's success -- Amott's guitar work -- is definitely present. |
 | | On the negative side, vocalist Johan Liiva doesn't do much except stay out of the way, and the addition of Peter Wildoer on drums (in place of Daniel Erlandsson) doesn't help either. |
 | | These problems are really minor when balanced against Amott's massive playing and songwriting, so while Stigmata is a fraction off from the band's debut form, Arch Enemy still delivers some nice melodic death metal on the sophomore effort. |
