Way better than Incarnate, and a lot more meaningful than
Disarm the Descent and KSE '09. I'd say this is easily
their best album since 2006's As Daylight Dies.

It's better than Incarnate but i need to listen the Atonement a couple times more. Drums in As Sure As The Sun Will Rise are kickass.

About what you'd expect from a new KSE album and that's fine by me. Some good hooks means it'll
probably get better with more listens too.

they call their new record atonement, yet they don't seem to feel so bad about releasing the same
album for the 4th time in a row

Yup, that's a KSE record. Just more of the same and it only gets more tiresome with each release
that they refuse to try anything new on.

I?m so hyped for this. Killswitch Engage always brings it and the Unleashed single continues to prove it. August r16th can?t come fast enough.rEdit: Well my preorder came in a day early and I got to listen... and damn I was not disappointed. Signal Fire and Crownless rKings are instant Killswitch staples, and tracks like Unleashed, Know Your Enemy, and Ravenous are also top tier material rfrom KSE. It's been a great year so far, and this album certainly makes it better.

Nothing on this album is terrible, but nothing sticks out. I listened to the album and couldn't recall a single melody days later. Have to give it another listen but the album as a while is very underwhelming, safe, and pretty boringrThat's hard for myself to say as KSE has always been one of my favorite bands..

Solid, dependable, relatable core which plays safely to the bands strengths. I really enjoy it.

Us against the world best killswitch song
since in due time and album is full of
memorable music. Some early killswitch sound
is reminiscent here. Killswitch still the
metalcore kings, particularly when jesse leach
is on vocals

I've always been a fan of Jesse Leech-fronted Killswitch Engage. What people seem to forget is that Alive or Just Breathing was pretty ground breaking when it came out way back in 2002. Granted, the band have evolved very little since those initial steps, but they've always been excellent (With Jesse, at least). To me, Atonement almost reminds me of a collection of metalcore power ballads. Every song is dominated by clean vocals, epic choruses, and melodic guitar leads which makes the album feel more accessible and tame than it actually is. There are still guttural growls and piercing shrieks as well as fast-paced tempos and shredding riffs, but at the end of the day the most memorable thing is all the melody and clean singing. While not exactly a new direction for the band, they're actually doing it better than ever before.

It is a killswitch album, take that as you will.

Much like Incarnate the band seems to be in full auto-pilot, not bad since there are some strong performances but still disappointing given their perceived (by me) potencial

Love it! Best album since Daylight! Jesses best album since Alive IMO.

Absolutely wonderful music, this is their best work, just ahead of Incarnate and Alive or Just Breathing

Signal Fire was the best song in this album. Fast-paced, Howard voice doesn't change since he leaving KSE

The Signal Fire and The Crownless King are cool jams but almost everything else is just been-there-done-that metalcore. Nothing awful other than the fact that KSE are stuck in their own complacency
