Agreed
A New Dawn is overrated, Fear is the Weakness and Where the Dead Ships Dwell are easily the best here

Don't see where they will go from here, as this is the worst since soundtrack.

Album Rating: 3.0

This is much better than A Sense of Purpose says me.

I get A LOTTTTTT of shit for it, but thats actually my favorite album to listen to. Here comes the shit.

Album Rating: 5.0

lol a sense of purpose

You really think this album is a 5 though?

yeah its a 5

Well whatever floats your boat, but I think it much more uninspired than a majority of their releases.

a sense of purpose is pretty good, hate is completely unjustified

Not kidding, I'm pretty biased because it was the first IF album I bought. But if you couldn't tell by my avatar they are my favorite band, and Anders' whiny sing/scream makes my heart feel warm. Why is it exactly you hate ASOP so much?

And you think Soundtrack is better? That does not make sense either.

Because it is shit. Easily the worst thing they've ever made. Soundtrack at least had Fiend, The Quiet Place and a few other gems.

Still think there would be a few gems comparable to TQP, F(r)iend, My sweet shadow. Such as Mirrors Truth, Eraser, Alias, and March to the Shore. What makes all of those songs so bad?

All of those tracks aren't horrible, but they sound like Reroute to Remain B-Sides.

Ehhh maybe, Reroute is so hard to listen to because the production is bad. Ive always been really fond of ASOP production too, and always thought it was their best prodution effort. I am perfectly aware that I am a part of the few who think so highly of that record.

Aw man, why do you have Whoracle and Lunar Strain rated so low? Those are their best!

Im actually going to bump Whoracle up, cause Ive been jammin that a good bit lately. But Lunar Strain didnt really feel like a band, because it really wasnt yet. Although I like Mikael Stanne, and it started it all, I just dont enjoy listening to it. Wtf is a crowraven, because im assuming thats me.

Album Rating: 3.0

Alias is a horrendous song.

Album Rating: 2.5

a really, really, really, really MEH album

^^^Although my rating suggests differently I will tentatively agree.
