This sounds like an album 'released in panic'.

Everyone, don't be quick to dismiss this album. From what I've heard of the previews, it sounds... well, way better than Until We Have Faces. The strings are still there so you don't have to worry about that, it's just the first two singles didn't have strings. I'll have a review up for this the day that it's streaming / released depending on which comes first.

As a fan who loves the aspects that make this band unique, this project is very hard to listen to. The first half of this project, it sound like the band was trying too hard. On the second half, it seems like they're trying to compete with Skillet. (The bonus tracks are enjoyable, but drag on a little too long.) I've had to just step back and just enjoy some songs for what they are (like "Same Disease"), but it will be always hard for me to get over the cheesiness of the lyrics of some songs (namely "Damage").

when a band releases a redux version of the album as an apology not even a year after the album
came out, it's never a good sign of the quality of the album. The poor mix does not help, and this
album has the effect of getting worse and worse on every re-listen

It is HILARIOUS that anyone thinks Red was ever anything more than a typical alternative metal/nu-metal-y band. Nostalgia goggles, I guess. Like people who look back on Linkin Park, people look back on Red with the same feelings. They're just what they are. And that's good enough.

A different direction than what Red is used to, but it's definitely for the better. Even though the remix tracks on the deluxe album hold this back from overtaking Innocence and Instinct as Red's best album, it is still a very cohesive album, and it's nice to see a band trying something different.

Not as bad as expected, but still not what we expect from Red. This is disappointing in ways that I hadn't initially expected.

Damage is one of my favorite tracks they've done hands down. Howard Benson is a fucker for sure, and there definitely not enough strings, but they're still present at times. Glass House, As You Go, and If We Only are other decent tracks. As a whole, definitely disappointing.

This is pretty boring. Its primary weakness is the lack of strings. Its sole strength is the vocals.

RED prove that they are getting incrementally more generic and boring and the Guillotine dubstep remixes particularly accentuate this point.

Have you actually heard it? I've just got it leaked and posted it on youtube. I know I'm also going to buy it. You can't judge a band on its singles. Now considering that the album wasn't leaked until 31st January any reviews before it are bullshit. This album is A CLASSIC. Close your eyes and listen to the smooth tracks like hold me now and The Moment We Come Alive and Headbang to the rocky, grimy tunes such as Release the Panic and Damage. I would also tell you the 2 songs on the deluxe CD are worth listening to and the 3 bonus remixes aren't bad.

They want you to play their game and then their music. The game is indeed lazy, and so is the music. There's no salvation for this band, it's awful since their first record. They released it in 6/6/6 because they are Slipknot fans, arghhh. So what, Nirvana is awful too and makes a lot of success nowadays. Maybe they want it too and Accedia will give them for sure. Release The Fight Inside, Release The Duality, Release The Panic... release the same thing from the past and make new money. They just know what pleases the rock public because they know what pleases themselves. Play some Slipknot or Sevendust and you'll make them happy. Behind those masks of good christians, that's what you're going to find.... a bunch of pseudo-religious frustration and confrontation vain talking. It's less nocive listening to those bands than listening to a band whose members are members of a "religious" cult too. These people need seriously to learn to be themselves and stop playacting to silly kids.

I've heard worse things in my days, but considering that Innocence & Instinct is one of my favorite alt rock albums of all time this is kind of depressing. That's not to say it's all bad: Red are still some of the best in the business at mid-tempo rockers with super catchy choruses (see "Glass House"), but the difference here is that the heavy tracks are utter shit. We know that Red can make awesome heavy songs (Feed the Machine, Out from Under, etc), but this is just sad. Also, there are not enough strings here. Howard Benson is a fucking bastard.
