Great review, I agreed with everything you said in it... "It’s easy to headbang to and get a feel for; I just was hoping for more variation, especially towards the end of the album." basically sums up the whole album for me. Now they just need to make the rest of their music as cool as their solos :X

Not at all a bad album but it doesn't deserve all the hype (best melo-death/thrash album ever) that it got. Still a great album to :dio:

to.

Good review indeed and the score is also spot-on. I'd give it a 75 just because it sounds better.

Thanks for the props guys. And yeah, giving it a 73 instead of a 75 was rather asshole-ish of me. :wacko:

I've actually heard many good things about this band. A buddy of mine loves them. I'll look into this.

Not exaclty my cup of tea, but they did put on a good show. Got the mosh pit going.

Huh,Ass.

J/K dude.

Seriously though I just can't get into these guys,too much peer worship going on and nothing really strikes me as new or innovative,and they're too soft for me,but then again I get off on B4uut00L s#ite soo yeah.I mean lyrics mainly,but I think they would do well too Arch Enemy it up a little with some more grit to the production and vocals,and they need to do something to make me remember them.I dunno,maybe they're just too basic for me,I got they're cd's hoping to enjoy what I heard people were saying was so great,but maybe it was a case of the hype bug.At least I can safely say I gave them a chance though,and still will.Nice review! :dio:

Sounds quite similar to what I thought. :dio:

back at you.

If Soilwork gets a 72, then a 73 doesn't seem to justify this album.

83 for me.
