'“Follow Me” draws you in with a lighter acoustic introduction and simpler structure, building up to an anthemic hook that’s deceptively uplifting, and “We Will Remember” offers a feel similar to a Hats Off to the Bull-era Chevelle cut that leads to another infectious, upbeat hook.'
Sentences like this are why I negged, don't cry to the meds about getting ratio'd.

I was on the fence about even mentioning it in the meds forum, Nazz. I was just confused by the reception; five negs in the span of a few minutes seems like a calculated effect.

Part of that could have been people just neg-bombing a positive review of what they assumed (correctly) would be a bad album.

I gave a similar review to Battles and that's got an 11/13 ratio, but I digress. I wasn't about to blame the folks who had actual grievances.

The only line that irked me was "While I was softer on that album than the majority of the In Flames fanbase, it doesn’t change the fact that fans did not take kindly to the album." Probably because this info is just not necessary, unless your opinion is the one of a renowned long-time running critic.

The rest is fine, I don't think it deserves the negs. I counter pos'd. I'm probably gonna pass on this one, don't think this band is gonna blow my head at this point.

@Dewi: Thanks, and yeah I don't blame you.

@Frip: isn't that thread practically dead? I could easily go through and make necessary changes on the spot.

I posted on that proofread thread at the beginning of February Frip, it's dead.

It's only dead because most people seem to think they are beyond having their work proofread. Could guarantee you I and anyone else would be more than interested in helping you.

So how shit is this compared to the last two? Are there laughs to be had?

I'm not beyond having it proofread, but I'm at a loss as to what needs to change. I mean you'd think being this many reviews in that I'd be able to figure it out myself but I'm sincerely not seeing it.

You seem to have issues wrapping up a sentence and your paragraph structure is way off. A paragraph can be as long or short as it needs to be as long as everything contained in it is part of the same thought or topic, one of your paragraphs pivots from being about inconsistencies in song quality into the bleak lyrics of the album. I'll happily remove my neg tomorrow morning if I wake up and it reads even marginally better.

Is this anything like Come Clarity/Sense of Purpose era? Would check if so

@joshieboy: Some tracks have Come Clarity vibes, but the majority of this is ASoP/SoaPF esque
