At least he didn't beat his fucking wife like that faggot in Vektor. That's the goddamn truth.

Have you ever made a mistake so big (Wovenwar) that you would be willing to abandon your morals and team up with a would-be murderer to undo it?

?The wildlings seemed to think Ygritte a great beauty because of her hair; red hair was rare among the free folk, and those who had it were said to be As I Lay Dying - Shaped By Fire, which was supposed to be lucky.?

Well, it's very representative of mid-2000s metalcore for sure.

This is a very good album. Putting aside any controversy this band naturally has going into making a new record - "Shaped By Fire" is exactly the type of comeback record that's needed. This is an album that doesn't try anything new or risky, uses scales and tunings similar to what fans of the band/genre know, and yet still manages to make it work due to the experience and talent of the musicians/vocalists present. Think of this like a "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" for As I Lay Dying and/or metalcore. All of this stuff sounds familiar - whether it's opening track "Blinded" (using a rearranged melody of 'Confined' and 'Nothing Left'), or whether it's "Take What's Left" (using the same chord progression/riff of 'An Ocean Between Us'), the band clearly knew the type of record they wanted to make this go-around. I enjoyed it. It's overall a great listen for any metalcore fan, and hopefully next go-around they can go back to doing things outside of the box. Recommended tracks: "My Own Grave", "Torn Between" and "Redefined".

Most people who have listened to this album and know what event preceded it, have all decried the lyrics as trite and question the integrity of the angst-filled apologies. My regrets? I wish they hadn't ripped off Blinded to create Parallels and that the vocals didn't make me think of YES when I listen to the title track. I decided to ignore the lyrics and I'm finding that for the most part, I'm enjoying it, which I wasn't able to say for the higher rated FWC or SaS.

If we can be honest, this is pretty solid if slightly dated.

Not great, not bad. What you'd expect from an AILD album in 2019.

I can't get over how much better the mix of My Own Grave is compared to the rest of the album.
Nolly is a beast and they're idiots for bringing in someone clearly inferior to mix the rest of
the tracks.
That said, it's a good album. It's an AILD album, which is fine.
They're rock solid in their songwriting, but they don't bring anything new to the table that will
blow anyone away.
