out of all their pop metal songs... dying in your arms is a shameless banger, feast of fire is also quite good... not big on the heart from your hate but its their most popular song these days and that counts for something
outside of those three they just don't do it very well imo. i think the biggest problem is even in the above tracks, it feels like they're dumbing themselves down... whereas i feel like bands like avenged sevenfold and slipknot for instance are able to retain their identity when they go more melodic/radio-focused. like compare "almost easy" or "dead memories" to something like "built to fall" or anything on vengeance falls
"no way back just through" is a perfect example of trivium making something very melodic while not neutering themselves. hope if they go more that direction it sounds more like that

"dumbing themselves down"
I think that's EXACTLY why half their material since Shogun is a miss for me. But hey, at this point they are a fucking metal institution and I'm proud as hell of them. If dudes wanna chill for a track or four live and sing some choruses and cash some checks, I say go for it.

They just finished their 208-event world tour and are taking a break until 2025.
Hope that means a new album 🥳

Listening through again and never really understood why people find Feast of Fire to be the weakest here. As far as their radio-template songs go, it's far and away their best one. No Way Back But Through and From Dawn to Decadence are worse offenders that disguise themselves in fast tempos.

Agreed there, I like Feast of Fire better than those other two--not that they're bad by any means, just a bit less memorable

I like No Way Back Just Through quite a bit, but yeah, From Dawn to Decadence is probably the worst here. The track placement doesn't help either, as the song happens right before the epic finish with The Phalanx... honestly, I would have preferred if Fall Into Your Hands and The Phalanx finished the album as back-to-back mini epics

I liked this initially but then it plunged steeply into mediocrity for me

Honestly, just remove Feast of Fire, No Way Back Just Through and From Dawn to Decadence, slightly rearrange the song order and you have a 40 minute banger of an album.

Loved The Sin and the Sentence but thought What the Dead Men Say was pretty mediocre. About to spin this, curious how it stacks up

This is far and away the best thing they've ever done
Edit: okay maybe not far and away this is like a 3.5 and shogun and sin and the sentence are at least 3s

Nah, not gud. Shogun is their best
Sin and Dead Men are complete garbage
|

Does it sound anything like Shogun or Ascendency?

^ It's like a combination of both, with some extra progginess and fantasy shit thrown in

I see. Haven’t listened to anything since Vengeance Falls. Might give this a spin.

Their last three albums have brought back some of that Shogun heaviness and energy. Give them a spin for sure.

yeah, and Sin has imo more poignant lyrical content than this.

The lyrics are literally fine on this my dude. If anything the lyrics on Sin and the Sentence are way too obvious and blunt to me. They're kinda cringe. I much prefer the more vague and creative fantasy stuff on here and Shogun. I'm pretty sure you've always been on your own in that opinion veninblazer haha, especially putting so much stock in Trivium lyrics.
