I agree completely on your stance with what the band is at it's core, and what they are trying to accomplish. I just expected a little more after how awesome I felt The Poison was.

gonna have to check em out then

where you live Trey?

Yesterday, actually. I've listened to them a lot recently because I wanted to make sure I wasn't

talking out of my butt for my first review. The big thing that I'm gonna disagree on you with here is

that this album has any more direction at all then The Poison. They're very similar at the core,

doing exactly what you stated in your review, making music to workout to.



The main fact is this band went in a direction that was similar to those bands that you mentioned in

your review: Metallica, Shadow's Fall, etc. They're not really melodic metalcore anymore, which is

probably the leading reason I didn't like this, besides the couple of songs I mentioned in my review.

I'd say that this has a lot more direction. The Poison, to me, seemed to be trying to be everything to everyone kind of thing (here's our poppy song, here's our heavy song, here's a ballad - repeat). This one has a more streamlined sound throughout and is way more developed as far as actual songwriting. They've definitely moved away from their original sound (I don't know if I'd call it metalcore, though), but they made that change on their second album, really.

Thanks for finally giving an honest review



Less screaming, but the clean vocals have been drastically improved over SAF

Are you saying my other reviews aren't honest??? ;)

And i would call this hard rock, as opposed to metalcore.

I would never call these guys metalcore at any point of their career.

Album Rating: 1.5

Thrash-influenced hard rock, emphasis on hard rock for The Poison and emphasis on thrash-influenced on Scream Aim Fire (as they tried to be Metallica, just like Trivium was at the same time). However, this is so poppy that I'd call it heavy pop or something. It's as close to pop-metal as anything.



I loved The Poison years ago, but have hated the band since Scream Aim Fire and this is even worse.

It's not worse, just not really any better then Scream Aim Fire.

I prefer Scream Aim Fire out of all three of their albums

Ya but your an odd one, maybe one day I'll figure you out.

That's their worst album

ehh. at least there's side boob on the cover.
might give this a listen once or twice.

This is a great review and you summarized the band flawlessly. I think my biggest problem with Bullet for My Valentine is that they aren't unique enough and their lyrical subject matter is so generic and unoriginal that they're boring to listen to. Plus it's hard to take a band seriously when the main reason they sell is because Matt is a pretty-boy.

This album was really enjoyable and catchy. Some people rate too hard on this band, of course they're not going to be everyone's favorite but this is a good addition to their past songs. A bit of a change of pace, but some songs still have some good solos. Love the song Pleasure and Pain.

I like to compare bands to Opeth because I see them as the gods of any genre of metal and BFMV is still far from there, but they could get up there and this is a start. This band's already extremely popular as it is.

hey Trey, good one. Listen to some of it, it's not god awful, but 2.5-3. Its alright. Band never was and never will be special. Ever. But they dont completely suck.
