Can comfortably say the new AILD will be much better than this

No doubt, I'm really looking forward to that one

I didn't like it when it first came out but I came back to it about a month later and listened through several times and have come to really like it. There are some really strong singles here, the best being "Us Against the World". I think "Take Control" is a sleeper. Then "As Sure As The Sun Will Rise", "I Can't Be The Only One", and "I Am Broken Too" are real standouts from this album.
Downsides to the album: "Ravenous" is a great track but I think Jesse dropped the ball on this one. "Bite The Hand That Feeds" is not really a good song and "Know Your Enemy" isn't a great song, but better than the closer. I think "Unleashed" lyrics are also a bit rote but the song is good.
By my reckoning, over half of this album is decent or quite good but weaker than AOJB and EOH, certainly, and potentially weaker than a handful of their releases since 2006's As Daylight Dies.

Another thing, I didn't review The Crownless King but my comment there is Jesse ought to have just did the vocals himself. Chuck Billy is crap and they are not the same styles at all. Jesse is so much the superior vocalist I just don't know why they would have ruined a good song for some cheap cameo from a shit vocalist. There are so many people who would have been better for that like Jamey Jasta but then there are dozens more. Phil Fucking Labonte, come on. It's a great song but I don't like Chuck Billy's voice.

"As Sure As The Sun Will Rise" definitely is the most fun track here, "Us Against the World" is pretty solid, "The Signal Fire" is the top, "The Crownless King" is whatever but I thought Billy's cameo was a good shade for a necessary lower register, the rest I find to be whatever...

How is one "most fun" but another is "the top"? If one is the top is it not fun? Or is it just not as much fun but still fun?

I mean if music is about feeling and one gives the most fun feeling then why is that one not the top? What is in the top that isn't in the most fun. What is fun like going down a roller coaster and the top is like sitting in my bath tub crying?

cuz it's one thing to recognize that one is written a little better and is top, and another thing to find one riff of the other song to be the most fun they got but is not as well-written. that's what I meant without getting too deep with it. as for the bathtub thing, if that's your idea for fun then sure.

So is it like this broad is pretty fun, but this other broad I want to raise my children even though she's a bit boring?
|

Album Rating: 2.5
more like the broad I went out with when I was 13 for about 6 years before I realized she got generic around 2009 but I still have a soft spot for my heart for her after all of these years

You're not working with me. I'm trying to understand your comment but the closer I'm getting the further away you try to pull. Perhaps you do not want to be understood. I suppose that is true of a lot of musicians and artsy types. Anyway, I disagree with your review. The best song on the album is Us Against The World and Take Control is very possibly the second best. Chuck Billy does not even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Jesse Leach from a vocal perspective. It would be like saying William Hung is going to perform on stage with Placido Domingo without a hint of sarcasm. Howard Jones did an amazing job and they should have brought in Phil from Philswitch to do a cameo because Phil has respect and the fans have respect for Phil.

why are you so serious?? that's what I'm trying to understand (not really). you disagree with my "review" or my opinion, which is it? it's fine if you're not a fan of Billy, literally no need to reiterate it.

Going back to this and it's great. Novel? No, but honestly thank fuck for that. Like all OSDM fans love that sweet ol sound for a good reason the same applies for KsE. This band still hasn't failed to get my head bobbin over all these years and long may it last.

This has been growing on me. Really enjoy it, but I also enjoy it more as a guilty pelasure then as a solid release in their catalogue.
