4.5 superb | thewired | July 25th 12 | a few years ago, back when they released take to the skies, this band didn't appeal much to me, i thought
they were shit, the electronic parts felt forced and the whole feel of their songs sounded too ambitious, it
gave off an aura of "trying too hard to transcend the usual post hardcore gimmick"
But then i came across this album, was about to dismiss it if it weren't for reliable sources recommending it,
and i have to admit, it blew my mind, i didn't think a band that once wrote weak songs like "sorry you're not a
winner/ok time for plan b" were able to pull off this work of art
Saturated arena rock-type wall of sound, catchy lyrics you can sing along to (even though they might come off
as a bit childish or pseudo political), good experimentation with electronics (surpasses that of most of their
peers to say the least), good songflow, i don't see what's not to like.
4.5/5 bordering on a full 5/5

4.5 superb | SteeleShikari | June 12th 11 | Realized this is just not a band to me. It has gotten me through the worst and hardest times. I listen to them everyday. Enter Shikari is arguably the best band ever in my opinion from lyrics, message, and music.

0.0 | ConorMichaelJoseph | June 25th 09 | Barely passable instrumentation, boring songs, stupid lyrics, awful vox, I mean what is this shi...oh that's right it's Enter Shikari, that explains everything.

4.0 excellent | ANJ45 | February 11th 14 | The first few tracks are amazing, and the rest of the album is surprisingly really good. Not incredible by any means, but insanely fun nonetheless.

2.0 poor | Pennywise_M | June 6th 12 | Again, not quite there yet. Throughout the album it may get puzzling at times, but i'm sure expecting more from a band that tours with some of the best bands in the metalcore scene.

2.5 average | Serpento | June 1st 09 | Despite their self-avowed classification as "trancecore," Enter Shikari are anything but innovative, but at least they don't sound gimmicky anymore. Fairly consistent songs, overall polished vocals, and an actual purpose to the instrumentation as a whole make Common Dreads their most solid release to date.
