| the whole album flows without many hick-ups. the melody in my opinion is a 5, not just because of the melody in in of itself, but the tempo changes with their picking structure, coupled with the the drums truly understanding what needs to be done with these changes....one of my favorite albums. if you listen to this album by skipping through tracks, you wont get it. you literally have to sit there and intentionally listen to every track from the first to last one....then again, and you will understand. if you play guitar, start on the first track, and learn it, then the next and so on and so forth.... you will truly see their brilliance. its ridiculously fun to play their songs. some of their riffs will throw you off, but once semi-mastered, you will see how this is their best album by far. this a melodic death metal opus. |
