Yeah, metalcore is most definietly alive and well. You also forgot to mention Trivium, who is one of the metal world's biggest acts going around.

This album definitely blows all of those other bands away, though. I have yet to hear a metalcore album I like more than this.

^^ Yeah I love Bled Dry and Sanctity of Brothers annnd So it goes. Hell, I like the whole album.
Could someone explain to me what a "breakdown" is. I'm not huge on metalcore and when i use the word "breakdown" people always accuse me i use it wrong.

[quote=]LoG (if you consider them metalcore) are a giant, and they have a new disc coming out soon.[/quote]
Lamb of God isn't as big as everyone wants to think really. They're major label and the sales they had with their last album almost weren't good enough for the big leagues. I'm surprised they weren't dropped.

Blokus, I looked it up on Wikipedia and this is what they had to say about it. I must say, it's right on.
Stereotypically, a breakdown consists of slowing a song down, giving the guitars room to play a set of rhythmically oriented riffs, usually on open strings so as to achieve the lowest sound for which the guitars are tuned. These riffs are often accented by the drummer through double bass drums and the overuse of the china cymbal. Breakdowns are usually responded to by an audience by hardcore dancing. Vocalists also tend to throw in a single, repeated statement throughout the breakdown, giving those who are not dancing an opportunity to sing along. Many metalcore bands rely on having memorable breakdowns rather than memorable choruses. Songs with breakdowns have become more common, and some bands have used them far more often than was previously the norm, with some songs even resembling one elongated breakdown.

Eh, I've never been a fan of KsE since Jesse left, and LoG is overrated IMO as well, so it looks like we'll have to disagree on this. This is great music though, without a doubt.

Ah thanks Thor. Well this album does have memorable breakdowns for sure.

I couldn't agree more. Unearth really does write the best breakdowns. The best breakdown of all time has been written by them. Just listen to the last one in "This Lying World" and you'll know what I mean. "Bled Dry" rivals it, though.
Unearth's breakdowns FTW.

Unearth is really good band in the metalcore scene, and I agree; one of the best the genre has to offer. Great review of a good album.

It actually reminded me of Iron Maiden more than Metallica, but I can see what you mean.

This cd is pretty consistent throughout the whole album.
I love consistency. And I love Unearth.
Great review.

[QUOTE=mudvaynian]Unearth's latest is very well done. I don't think I have seen Thor so giddy. [/QUOTE]
 I just can't help it.
And sadly, I haven't heard the new ATR either.
