Passable and overall sturdy in the craftsmanship department, American metalcore ensemble Bleed the Sky's sophomore full-length album isn't nearly as bad as the people who enjoyed Paradigm in Entropy say it is. Murder the Dance definitely doesn't break any new ground regarding the modern metal scene, and the songwriting on this record can be pretty weak at times, but at the very least, I'm able to get a decent quantity of enjoyment out of it here and there. "Sullivan" seriously takes me back. By the by, as far as the aforementioned musicianship goes, drummer Austin D'Amond is the MVP, and I also appreciate some of the vocals.
