I love the experimentation and the increased melody, but this isn't sitting as well with me
as it is for everyone else. It blurred together a bit toward the middle and never quite made
it back, but maybe a few more listens will fix that and boost my rating. |

This is really underrated (my personal rating is more of a solid 3.7). The lyrics are,
admittedly, overwrought break-up ramblings, but Embrace the End had a great, heavy, dynamic
sound on their debut, drawing more prominently from death metal than the Dillinger Escape
Plan (as on the lesser "Ley Lines"). Give it a shot. |

They groove hard, taking cues from Slipknot and Korn yet miraculously (and narrowly) avoid
the nu-metal tag. Overall, they're a bit too derivative
to be called great, but they are good fun, especially on songs like "Four Walls" and
"Exterminate." |

| While not a terrible band or album, Twisted Method's main weaknesses lie in the writing: in rlyrics and song structure alike, they too often descend into cliches. My take on their sound ris either a very aggressive 311 or a lankier, lukewarm Limp Bizkit, although their sound rmore accurately rests in a gray area between the two. |
