2.5 averagefurpa | July 12th 16

Pretty underwhelming album. Every track you've heard before and done better on previous records. Overall just a collection of slightly-above-average hard rock tunes and nothing more.

Billy Talent sounds like Billy Talent. Nothing more, nothing less. The riffs are solid, the lyrics are average. It's got some jams tho. BT fans will probably like this. Since I'm a BT fan, I like this

Yeah this is a Billy Talent album by-the-numbers: their formula of alt rock-infused punk is still kicking, with no filler but few bona fide BT bangers.

2.0 poorFire Breathin Yokel | December 11th 22

their worst most generic boring album for sure, an infection of songs with a few good chords but mired in total filler with the crutch being the only mostly complete track, some fun synth work on horses n chariots but doesnt save it

3.5 greatTheMoonchild | July 30th 16

Dead Silence was the kick in the jaw this band needed after a horribly mediocre third album.

This album is more or less more Dead Silence-type stuff. It's not quite as good but it still has the catchy riffs and hooks and scream-along vocal melodies we've come to expect in recent years.rAdditionally, there's some new stuff here. Time Bomb Ticking Away, suitably titled, is a great exercise in keeping the incredibly tense momentum going for a whole track, as is Rabbit Down the Hole, and Cannibal Rats is a great throwback to 90s grunge. Horses and Chariots has a post-2000s Maiden vibe to it I LOVE.

This album grows on ya with every listen. My actual review may be a 4.

They just don't have it anymore.

3.5 greatterriblekonrad | July 13th 16

I know it's predictable as f*** but every song give me so much joy. In my opinion, when u start your journey with Billy Talent, you should listen first "Hits" then "Afraids of Heights" ;)
