This is good, but I just can't bring myself to care about it that much at all.

I have to say this album has to be one of Norma Jean's most cohesive efforts. An excellent follow-up to Meridional and a well-executed statement album given the new additions of Hickey, Holyoak, and Finnegan.

Wrongdoers is the sum of the parts Norma Jean have been quietly collecting throughout rtheir entire career. Barring a few setbacks over the years, the band have not stayed rstagnant in a genre renowned for recycled ideas from most of the bands. Finally the longer rtracks have a palatable experimental feel to them; "Hive Minds" is one of the band's best rofferings with eerie distortion building up to immense riffs. The album itself is a rcombination of their most frenzied aggression matched up with a strong focus on continuity. rVocalist Cory Brandan has never been more on point both vocally and lyrically; "Funeral rSinger" is certainly proof of that. Wrongdoers proves that an already-established rband can eschew self-made constrictions and put out an album that is miles above and beyond rwhat was anticipated by fans.

Even though I have listened to this a few times over, I'm still shocked that Norma Jean is able to maintain such ferocity and fury for the entire length of this album. Just when you think it's about to let up, it doesn't. Possible metalcore/hardcore AOTY

Super cool metalcore whose violence is never dampened by clean vox or melodies - yay. What ultimately makes Wrongdoers a front-to-back bangerfest is the songwriting, each track packing a different punch.

Wrongdoers is a masterfully crafted record from beginning to end. A ferocious display of Norma Jean's true potential.

It took them four tries, but melodic hardcore/metalcore band Norma Jean were finally able to surpass the bar they set for themselves with 2003's O' God: The Aftermath. We hear them at their most concise, focused, and pissed all at once, which naturally leads to some of the best songs they've ever written, including "If You've Got It At Five, You've Got It At Fifty", "The Potter Has No Hands", "The Lash Whistled Like A Singing Wind", and "Funeral Singer". You have some nice variety here as well, with some slow-burners ("Hive Minds", "Sun Dies, Blood Moon"), some punches to the gut ("Neck In The Hemp", "Triffids"), and some more melodic tracks to boot ("Wrongdoers", "Sword In Mouth, Fire Eyes"). The production gives a thick sound to the guitars and bass, the drums hit very hard, and Cory Brandan is at his best here as well. In all, Norma Jean creates what is the defining record of their careers in Wrongdoers.

Norma Jean's best album in years. Not since O God The Aftermath has this band managed to retain the aggressive nature of their sound. This isn't a return to their mathcore roots, but it's definitely a quality hardcore album that crushes their previous releases by a long shot. A great return to form.

While it's not an album that pushes the Metalcore genre forward, it is an album that showcases the best aspects of contemporary MetalCore. Tracks like 'The Lash Whistled Like a Singing Wind' And "Neck Deep in the Hemp' really stand out to me. Finishes very strong with 'Sun Dies, Blood Moon'. 4.6/5

Less mathy than I was expecting, but exceptionally well-balanced. Some pieces are nothing short of breathtakingly catchy, which is something I wouldn't hae expected to ever say about Norma Jean material.

Was never really able to get into Norma Jean, but Wrongdoers has certainly changed that. Heavy yet melodic. Love the production. Will be listening to this avidly in the future.

"...martyr..." is overrated and i never got the hype but this is a very surprising fun record u can jam all day to. just listen to "traffids" and you know what i mean

Norma Jean's Wrongdoers takes all the band's best elements and fuses them into a cohesive and focused effort, and it pays off in dividends. While perhaps not their best effort, as it would be hard for them to touch Bless the Martyr... or O'God the Aftermath, their newest release sends a message that the band can still churn out pummeling and fantastic tunes even this late into their career.

Kinda funny that that ballad they did sounds almost exactly like "my light unseen" from Impending Doom last
year, even down to the Ryan Clark-esque singing. Otherwise pretty good, definitely the best they've done in
years. It pales in comparison to other metalcore releases this year though.
