There's nothing really bad about this album, except the occasional clean breakdown that just doesn't work, but there's also nothing great. At least when Bleeding Through was making aggressive, atmospheric metalcore they had some charm. As a generic deathcore band, they're on par with pretty much every other deathcore band. There are good and heavy riffs and the drumming is intense, but none of it stands out in any way.
Bleeding Through at their best. Marta is WAY more prominent on this CD than any other BT release, in part by the production skill of Devin Townsend. "Declaration," "Sister Charlatan," and "There Was A Flood" are awesome blast-beat infused tracks. If only they continued this trend with their self-titled...
