Just listened, and I still think the more melodic side is tons better then the heavier side (and I'm a metalhead).

I initially didn't look at who had written this review...then halfway through I was like "this HAS to be Davey!" And sure enough...!

Your writing style is becoming recognizable, dude. Good work as usual.

LOL... Am I the Arjen Robben of SputnikMusic? Haha. Hey, Jake just stomped on me... Ouch. Red card him & send him home.



Ok Jake, you felt the need to write so much (longer than your reviews), so I should take the time to respond.



On the length aspect, you have a point... But the main reason for it was that the album grew on me quite a bit. I am not surprised that the ratings coming in at present are low, because on my initial listen it was a 2 for me as well. But the album grew (obviously the latter half especially) & I tried to convey that in the way I wrote the review. But yes, it did turn out a little longer than I wanted.



On reviewing a "metal" album, the first thing I will say is that everyone should give different genres of music a go... It's the best way you'll get better at writing. But more importantly, this is hardly inaccessible metal. Their previous album wasn't even metal (it was hard-rock) & I'd say the same thing about 5 of the 10 songs here also (tracks 3,4,5,7 & 10). Have you heard the album Jake? Either way, you don't have to concern yourself, I won't be reviewing DEP or Immolation any time soon.



"an attempt to cash in on a userbase inherently comprised of metalheads" This made me laugh so much. You're entitled to your opinion, but you are so wrong on this that it's not even funny.



Oh well, to each their own... Apollo seems to like the review... Thanks mate.

Hehe. Nah, I have been writing for long enough to know that any piece of constructive criticism can be useful... Even if it's surrounded by some garbage.



"Your writing style is becoming recognizable, dude. Good work as usual."



I know this can be seen as a good and bad thing (due to adaptability issues), but I prefer to have this due to consistency, comparability, etc... That's the thing that made it so easy for Jake to aim his "observation" at me. Most around here know I would prefer the more melodic hard-rock side of the band & I'd hope they'd be sensible enough to take that into account. Hell, I even ended the review with 2 sets of Recommended Tracks.
