Mar 18, 2021This is probably their best album and I fell in love with "Shot in the Dark", which is one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Among the others I find also enjoyable "Fire and Ice", "Sinéad" and "Faster".

May 9, 2011Generally excellent throughout. It features a straightforward but fresh and bombastic approach rather than the refined sound of their previous albums and the story telling through imaginative lyrics and mixing light and dark themes works terrifically.
Fantastic album -

Q MagazineMay 18, 2011The Unforgiving's rampaging orchestral stabs and hysterical synths, coupled with Sharon den Adel's fevered vocal flourishes, make for awful Euro-pop with the odd distorted guitar. [May 2011, p.115]

May 9, 2011Coupled with the short films and the comic book that are companion pieces to the album, The Unforgiving is much more than just an excellent record. It is an all-encompassing audio-visual experience that will leave its audience breathless for a long time to come.

Apr 8, 2011The end result is that The Unforgiving is easily Within Temptation's most ambitious record, an album that benefits from an increased energy level and strong songwriting in order to deliver a collection of the band's strongest songs to date.
