Perhaps more aggressive and straightforward than its predecessor, but Versus is still The Haunted going through their own motions. Solid and sometimes great as the music is here, it shares the same flaws with much of the band's discography in that the experience gets tiresome too quickly, resulting in a mixed bag of an effort once again. Songs do stand out-notably "Pieces" and "Trenches"-but they don't make up for an otherwise fairly average effort.

Contrary to the matter, Versus can't be likened to some all-out war; it's not even a string of battle cries. Melodic death metal outfit The Haunted begin this album fighting valiantly (i.e. the first three songs), only to later sustain both minor and rather grim casualties on their part as the record draws closer and closer to the end. Although the band's instrumental weapons alongside a pretty indecisive admiral in Peter Dolving prove to be sufficient enough, the songwriting infantry leaves a whole lot to be desired. These guys were super generic troopers even with commander Marco Aro, but unlike Dolving here, at least Marco had a burning spirit within him.
