==Reception==
'''''Ultraviolet''''' is the eighth studio album by Finnish alternative rock band [[Poets of the Fall]], released on 05 October 2018 through Insomniac.
Reviews from critics have been relatively positive. Though a bit of a departure from their rock sound and containing more pop elements, the album does still contain rock and also some prog elements that are comparable to the [[Von Hertzen Brothers]], and the band was praised as such by critics. A reviewer from Maximum Volume Music applauded them for "not simply sticking to what was a winning formula and for mixing styles up", while also stating how this would be very dividing for fans from the early days, but how it will also win a few new ones.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://maximumvolumemusic.com/review-poets-of-the-fall-ultraviolet-2018/|title=Review: Poets of the Fall – Ultraviolet (2018)|first=Keith|last=Tracy|newspaper=Maximum Volume Music |date=24 September 2018|access-date=20 September 2022}}</ref>
