I just got the album today and I think it's great. I didn't mind some of the songs from their previous album, but after hearing the lead single 'Scream Aim Fire' on TV I instantly feel in love with it. I never expected them to go in this direction after the huge success of 'The Poison' most bands after a popular album stick with the same sound or make it more mainstream. But Bullet did the opposite. Don't expect to hear songs like 'Tears Don't Fall' this takes a much more heavier and uptempo route. Though the album is a bit too much like Metallica and Trivium for it's own good. One song especially sounded too much like Trivium. The classic rock elements are obvious, like in the song "Hearts Burst into Fire'. I guess you can say that is the main criticism with the album, it's nothing all that original. I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews. Granted that the 1/5 by one website was an Indie site, so them doing a metal review was questionable. I say it's a solid 4/5. =D Fans of the first album, look with caution.
I like some of their songs. My brother already has the album, he cownloaded it from their myspace when they had it up, he was the last one to because they removed it. So yea, my brother bootleged it. err.. that's good...^_^
Personally, I think The Poision is better. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great album, but the singer's vocals seem a bit weaker than they were in the first album. Maybe it's just me. I still love their guitar and drumming work. So awesome. "End of Days" is my favorite song on the album. =D
Love the new album, I think his song style isn't as great as what it was before Laryngitus struck him, but my ****ing god if he didn't take his new voice to the limits, 4.5/4.8 for me.
