Album Rating: 3.5

I wouldn't say awful, just different.

Digging: Between The Buried And Me - The Great Misdirect

Album Rating: 3.5

SIDE NOTE: I kind of didn't expect this to have a higher rating than the new LoG album. Of course, not as many people have rated this one, but nonetheless.
Good job, THA.

I heard these guys on MusicChoice and i liked what i heard. It was quite technical and seemed kinda progressive. Your right when you said it brings a new sound to the genre.

Album Rating: 3.5

Their progressiveness comes in different degrees. They are for the most part kind of like an off-metalcore band. The extra musicianship and more intricate songwriting make up the prog touch they have.

I'll have to check this out. You said All That Remains The Fall Of Ideals was great and I love it. Good review!

I bought the album and I liked it a lot.. Just as you said mudvaynian they bring a new sound to the metal genre.. I love the way the guitars never stop :D

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah, they always seem to be doing something; usually something interesting too.

Album Rating: 4.5

Got another band to recommend?

Album Rating: 3.5

For something similar to THA, I can't think of anything. But for another band in general that will kick your ass, check out Arsis.

Album Rating: 4.5

I think I heard someone talking about Arsis... I'll check it out

I really got into this album. For me they bring a unique sound to the table (at least in comparison to many other metal acts). I can't help but to at least partially agree with the "overuse of arpeggios" comments. It doesn't hinder the initial quality and attraction of a great album, but it did lower the replay value.

Album Rating: 3.5

I don't think so. Yeah, there are a lot of arpeggios, but it is just their style, just like Alexi Laiho with neoclassical and Kirk Hammet with a blues flavor. They are still really good, and the work on the album is great.

Dude, I just checked out Arsis new album... OMG Teh kickass

Album Rating: 3.5

The drumming on here is great.

Album Rating: 3.5

I lowered my rating to a 4 solely for the fact that some of the less good tracks get a little boring after a while. The album has good balance, but the first half is better than the first.

"some of the LESS GOOD tracks" rolfz

anyway, this band is good. a mix between Between the buried and me and Protest the hero. I like it

Digging: Touche Amore - ...To The Beat Of A Dead Horse

Album Rating: 3.5

Yeah.
I think I may have underrated the drumming. If you only pay attention to the drums when you are listening, some good action is going on. The bass is good too (if you can hear it).

i cant believe it took me so long to find out about these guys, i love the music. good review too
