I think we should all wave goodbye to Ben now...he will soon be in the center of a massive fanboy attack.

Pfft! Fanboys are no match for us. We wield such devastating weapons as the Sword of Logic, the Banhammer (in Benny's case), the Holy Hand Grenade of Pwn, and a thorough grasp over the English language.This Message Edited On 12.04.06

Holy Hand Grenade of Pwn? :lol:



And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Pwn towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."This Message Edited On 12.04.06

Hahaha you remembered that whole bit from The Holy Grail?

This album sucks. Alot. The only saving grace is The Crusade which shows that Trivium do have some talent.

Great review.

Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

I'm kinda digging this, though there are some tracks pretty horrid to the point that I haven't listened to them more than once. No doubt unoriginal but it's music to my ears

My friend brought in some magazine into homeroom today at school, I can't recall which magazine it was, but on the front it had a large picture of Matt Heafy and Corey with the headline "TRIVIUM RESURRECTS THRASH!" Though I like the album I think this is far too overhyped in the media.This Message Edited On 12.04.06

From what I'v heard from this album, it sounds 100% like Metallica. Boo...

Good reveiw.

Album Rating: 2.5

^^^ 100% my butt. open your ears

Album Rating: 4.0

Ok personally I think this is a great album, the solos man THE SOLOS its only getting blammed by you guys because its different to their last effort, but this is how metal shud be, I loved Ascendency, but i didnt want trivium to ruin that album by making anuva one. How metal should be, standard tuned guitars, harsh (but not screamed) vocals, fast yet melodic duelling solos, galloping basslines and pounding double bass, so fuck they sound like metallica did 20 years ago, the mantle's gotta be passed somewhere down the line. good review though.

I wouldn't say this is like passing down the mantel from Metallica to Trivium. This isn't nearly as good.

the solos man THE SOLOS

its only getting blammed by you guys because its different to their last effort,

but this is how metal shud be,

standard tuned guitars,

harsh (but not screamed) vocals,

so **** they sound like metallica did 20 years ago, the mantle's gotta be passed somewhere down the line.

Album Rating: 2.5

I can't explain how disapointed I was when I first heard this album. I gave it a 2.5 only because I like trivium's other stuff, but seriously, what the hell happend? I heard people say that it sounds like metallica before I got the album but I didn't think trivium could tone down their great sound, but man was I wrong. The vocals are the most depressing factor about this album, which is ironic because on the contrary, Ascendency's vocals rocked. boo to this album *cry*

Album Rating: 1.5

I find the vocals on "The Crusade" to actually be better. On the last record, he sounded like a gargling frog.

And don't rate an album based on their past work. If you really think this album sucks, give it a lower rating. Don't hold back....it's Trivium, no one here will hold it against you.

Album Rating: 1.5

Ascendency's vocals rocked

Forgot to mention. Madmunch said metal was meant to have standard-tuned guitars. Now, I already established that this is patently false. But what I neglected to bring up the first time around is that Trivium writes exclusively in Drop D tuning.

Album Rating: 4.0

On Ascendancy yeh they did only use drop D tuning but on this album they use standard tuning for most of the songs most probably an attempt to make them sound like the bands they grew up listening to i.e Maiden nd Metallica. Some of the songs use seven string guitars aswell which is what alot of extreme metal bands do.

So basically they stopped doing a general element of metalcore, and did something to further emulate their idols. I normally wouldn't bitch about that too much, but in the context of this particular album...

This album is horrible bar 'Entrance of the Conflagration.' I think that song is well written, and shows alot of skill. But, that does not change the fact that the lyrics in 'To The Rats' could be written by angry 6 year old, and 'We Are The Fire' showcases the worst music i have heard in about 10 years.

God i hate this band/album

Ha I have a funny anecdote. In band class I was talking to the retard drummer who thinks he is awesome because he can play fast but can keep a rhythm. Basically a baby Ulrich. I went up to him and he was trying really fast double bass beats. Since he sucks I went up to him and said "dude listen to Under A Glass Moon by Dream Theater," and he said then he said "YOu know who is a really good double bassist? The guy from Trivium" then I said "Trivium sucks" then it got quiet at the perfect moment and he said "BIT ME!!" and then he got a JUG. Which means Justice Under God at my school and its an hour detention. Ha ha I laghed.

Crazy.
