Change is a double edged sword. Will you be the one wielding that sword, or will you fall upon it?

Trivium has always been awesome. But I can say without a doubt that this newest release shows a much more mature band embracing who they have always wanted to be.

It's nowhere near as intelligent as Shogun or as fresh as Ascendancy, but something of a balance between the
two - and shows Trivium at their absolute catchiest. Nothing in here reaches the heights of, say, Torn
Between Scylla and Charybdis or Pull Harder, but if this doesn't get them some serious radio play, nothing
short of selling out completely ever will.
Still, it's painfully obvious that Trivium themselves seem not to know their strengths, as they distance
themselves from the technicality of their masterpiece, Shogun, as if it were some flaw. Instead they turn back
to the mass appeal tactics that brought down The Crusade, and the only reason why In Waves doesn't repeat
that disappointment is that Trivium are far better at writing riffs than before. This isn't a band "finding their
sound" - they had one already and dumbed it down.

Only a genius like Matt Heafy could combine Metalcore, Heavy, Thrash, progressive and melodeath metal and sound so original. Not as perfect as "Shogun", but definitely a great effort by one of the best metal bands of the last 20 years. Favorite songs: "Caustic Are the Ties That Bind", " Forsake Not the Dream", "Drowning in Slow Motion", "Of All These Yesterdays" and the title track.

I used to like this a lot and it's still very solid and fun melodic mainstream metal. This record is diverse, full of great melodies and riffs, despite obvious flaws (Whatch The World Burn. Could this song be any more repetitive?) All this being said, I feel like I grew out of this kind of music.

A spectacularly limp radio metal album. In Waves shows that Trivium have become one of the many faux-metal outfits-- a la Bullet for My Valentine and Slipknot-- that sanitizes metal to the point of losing the entire genre's purpose.

I feel like the songs on this record could stand out a lot better if not for the half-assed production. This album has the most poorly distorted bass I have ever heard, courtesy of album producer Jason Suecof, who had previously produced albums much better than he did with this album. Even though it's only heard on about five tracks, it still ruins their potential to become great songs. Also, the album gets off to a piss poor start with the title track In Waves, which immediately starts off with an annoying shouting of the title while not getting to its point. Now, there are good things about this album, such as the solo in A Grey So Dark, which is probably the highlight of the album, especially at the 1:35 mark. But overall, In Waves is my least favorite Trivium record to date.

One of my favorite albums by this band. It's the perfect mix of heavy and melody. The vocals and drumming are much better on this album than past releases. While the guitar/bass playing may not be as technical as on albums like "The Crusade" or "Shogun", they still do the job. There are a lot of stand out songs, like "Dusk Dismantled", "Caustic Are The Ties That Bind", "A Skyline's Severance" that push the band's sound into different territories. This album was the first album with drummer Nick Augusto, thus being a transitional phase for the band. Even though I see no major flaws in this album, I still think they can do better and make a masterpiece of an album. I can tell that their next album will most likely be the best in the band's discography, knowing what they can do musically now.

I love Trivium, but this CD isnt as good as Shogun. Its still a great CD dont get me wrong, but it just doesnt pack the punch of Shogun. The screamed vocals and clean vocals are good, but it seems like they dont do long guitar solos as often like they have in previous CDs. Overall good CD though, and I would recommend it.

not nearly as intense as their first 4 cd's. i was hoping they would improve upon the sound they had with shogun but it looks like they're going for a much more mainstream audience. this is there most "metalcore" sounding album which is dissapointing in itself.

still not sure how i feel about the obvious radio-play songs but the rest is pretty good. tied with shogun but definitely not better.

I've had the album for a couple days now. I'll say that it takes a couple full listens to really get behind it. It's nothing
like Shogun though, and I like that. The songs all have the raw power of Ascendency, and the clean sections are very
nice. The 30 second samples that came out a month ago really didn't do any of the songs justice. Really the only
song without any screaming is A Grey So Dark. All of the others are heavy and have their own flair to them. The only
criticism I have is that I felt unfulfilled at the end of each listen to the album. Of All These Yesterdays gets me ready
to explode right at the end and its the perfect place to have a balls to the wall explosion of screaming and drums
with a mindblowing riff. But it just ends there really.

Not really sure what to think so far. There's nothing particularly wrong with it but god damn is there a lack of punch that would propel it from being anything really good. Also, it's long as hell.

besides a few dud tracks this is actually really good. It's undeniably a pop metal album, but it's both musically superior and lyrically more intelligent than competitors, such as BFMV.
