Review Summary: Amaranthe’s album with the riffs

This was Amaranthe’s last truly special album. The synths and the guitars went together in a magical formula that can only be described as a magical formula. Kinda like how Lucky Charms are magically delicious except more like Fruit Loops cause I like those better. Also, those drums were pretty spastastic, and on top of that there’s impressive guitar solos and amazing singing. It’s like a cocktail of perfect items going together perfectly and is therefore the best cocktail you’ve had, and the cocktail stands out from the crowd and wins the prize at the town fair for its originality as well as it’s delicious taste that is unparalleled, dubbing it “the taste of the century that everyone is talking about!”.

There is much debate on the genre of this album. What I mean is I debate it, cause it is many genres. But due to strict Sputnik rules I must attempt to tell you what they are. So here are some genres I hear: power metal, melodic death metal, pop, alternative metal, techno, industrial. Not bad eh? I haven’t even listened to the album in weeks! But yeah, this combo of flavours makes a very new flavour kind of like how Iron Man created a new element and he was like, “oh *** I’m pretty good”. Indeed, there are not many bands that are exactly like Amaranthe because they are not Amaranthe, which is a shame because there are some truly ass bands out there like Skillet and uhhhh Skillet. Skillet sucks y’all, don’t even pretend to like them is my captain’s order.

Kind of like how an old but reliable car keeps driving, Amaranthe’s secret sauce just keeps kicking. You can’t say anything is bad here, because every element is GOOD. It’s like how you need all the numbers in a math equation, except I hate math so this is the only metaphor that has failed me. In conclusion, if I were to summarize my thought on this album succinctly and proficiently I would. So therefore, in conclusive conclusions, I hereby dub this Amaranthe’s best album ever, but you already knew that and therefore this review is useless and I just wasted a few minutes of your life before you die… cheers!

I conclude this to be a fun time. It has plentiful riffage, it has impressive singing, it has catchy musics. It is very musical and you know that I, a musical reviewer enjoy music so you know that you may enjoy the music that I enjoy because I am a professional music reviewer. I am Sputnik certified and previously held the sacred title of Contributor, and I wasn’t paid for it. Anywho, it behooves you to not pretend to hate this album, because this stuff is funkier than hippies having an orgy at a festival in a barn.

Conclusion: 5/5

I’m not a huge fan of Charli XCX’s new music. The Letter Black’s new album is kinda boring. Idc just a couple new examples lol
