I don't doubt this will be in my top ten for the year


Probably top 5 for me. Album hasn't worn off at all.

Man I feel like I missed the boat on this one. I love Static Tensions, but this album just isn't that exciting to me. Songs like "Don't Look Back" sound like Kylesa covering something off Hybrid Theory...or maybe I'm just another elitist Sputniker who hates anything that sounds mainstream = But as a whole, Spiral Shadow just doesn't have the oomph of their previous releases. It's not all bad by any means; I love Spiral Shadow and Tired Climb. Just seems very uneven overall.

But hey, at least I can plug it into the car stereo as a stepping stone to get people interested in Kylesa.

agreed with a lot of what you said pedro, especially about Don't Look Back -- god I hate that song.

there are some genuinely awesome moments on here, and for the most part this is an enjoyable record.

haha, absolutely vice versa for me.

And I agree with 36 and the man who sells me wallets, this is top 5 material for me, quite easily even.

I think Static Tensions and Time Will Fuse It's Worth are better, but that's just me.

and yeah 36, I do hate the shit out of that song lol

not just the chorus melody (which does bug the crap out of me) but also the main guitar riff -- sounds like something Creed would've released a decade ago.

This record is only so-so, but I've never been high on these guys so that's quite understandable.

I am listening to this record for the first time. As a lover of all of their albums, I am going to really have to sink this one. Tired Climb is one killer opener just as Scapegoat was for Static Tension.

Another thing I must add to is that the guitar tone is really thick and sexy. Production-wise, they keep getting better.

A solid album that has grown on me lately. I don't know if it's that good though.
