| 3.0 good | Futures CONTRIBUTOR | May 16th 24 |
this is one of those albums that i wish i liked more. all of the ingredients are there for something great but sadly it doesn't fully come together for me. the main issue for me is the crooning deftones-esque alternative metal clean vocals that were in vogue at the time which are present in almost every song. "voila" being the worst offender with cries of murderrrrrrrrrr becoming incredibly grating. tim williams has a really impressive raw, throat shredding scream that perfectly fits with the hardcore parts but the singing just doesn't work. it's not that it is poorly performed, i just don't think it fits with the hard hitting grooves.
i find myself alternate between nodding to the great grooves and then shaking it to the melodic singing. musically it is pretty simple but the mosh sections and breakdowns deliver what they should for an album of this style. plenty of memorable lyrics and lines that will get stuck in your head such as CRUMBLE CRUMBLE LEVEL LEVEL from "ways to destroy one's ambition". there are also sections that repeat the first few words in line with different endings that are incredibly catchy especially on "zone zero". an album that's certainly worth a listen and maybe the mix of genres will come together more for you than it did for me.
check out: "zone zero" and "element"

| 3.5 great | Hanusko | January 20th 17 |
Decent 3.5 - To explain my rating... Let me start with: ,,Vision of disorder'' is very ambitious mix of metalcore/Hardcore and Nu-metal/alt. metal. They are blending these genres together into very cohesive and solid sound, the vocal mix of moody cleans and extremely heavy screams would be perfect example of this, the instrumentation is slightly underwhelming in comparison to the ,,always so colourful vocal work'', but instrumentally it is not bad in any way shape or form, just slightly forgettable...but it doesn't change anything on the flow of the record, ,,Vision of Disorder'' flows perfectly, there is easily just something about the band that sounds fresh, catchy and likeable.
