[edit] Background information
When At the Gates began recording The Red In The Sky Is Ours, the group had been together for a mere year.[1] In comparison to 1991 EP Gardens Of Grief, guitarist Anders Björler feels that The Red In The Sky Is Ours is more structured. In certain instances, Björler deems the record "experimental" nonetheless.[1] At this time, the group's members started to learn about one another musically. Björler dismissed guitarist Alf Svensson's ideas as "over the top", and "very strange music". Björler went on to comment that the group "tried too hard to impress people with too many riffs and weird songwriting".[1]
Björler has criticised the production also, dubbing it "weird" and "very weak".[1]
