Derivative and one-sided as they all were, Bury Your Dead's earlier albums (and Mosh n Roll) featured Mat Bruso as the band's vocalist. On top of this, the hardcore disposition of the releases were quick and painless to get into. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, It's Nothing Personal is neither an enjoyable record nor is it one BYD fans will gradually grow on. Myke Terry had the capability of being a great frontman, though he's more concerned on here about replicating an emotionless Lajon Witherspoon than anything else; the overall tone of this band's fifth studio recording isn't much better, as it's practically in the same vein of all the other metalcore acts who concentrate on half-hearted melody and mediocre-sounding brutality.
