sorry i had a screw up on my last comment….. KsE is hands down my favorite band and will be for my life but this new album really made me think if these guys are really starting to become more mainstream. This album was good but i truely do prefer there original sound. this album is a little to soft for me. It is still old killswitch but they definatley went softer. I honestly think for there next album they need to bring go back to there heavey music but do new kick ass music that makes you pumped and want to fight somebody (dont get me wrong i love the parts like the main corus like end of heartache). I agree 100% witht the guy above me , the old albums like end of heart ache, as daylight dies and most definatley the songs that jessy wrote but howard soung on the 2005 tour like temple within , is the stuff that got me into killswitch. this album has changed there sound in this new album, and its a good one, but they really need to change back but with new songs. thanx for reading wat i had to say. KSE FAN FOR LIFE!!!

I REALLY disagree with this review… Forgetable songs, poor guitar sound and it sounds like something they just came up with and recorded in a day. The lyrics are SO cliché and the melodies are far from the standards of the old albums. As Daylight Dies was the album that got me into KsE and no song has ever reached the high quality as My Curse – in my opinion.

I dig the album. Sounds like Killswitch. Obviously, Adam had veto power over O’Brien. Adam D doesn’t need the help….how much did they pay O’Brien? Only complaint: songs are too short=album’s too short. Justin Foley is the man.

Well, I think that KSE made mistakes with producing with somoene else than AD…AD is producer ever!!!That is for sure! Just listen to Parkway Drive,Unearth,MyChildren MyBride,Burn Your Wishes, all these bands are perfect!So this change is caused by their producer change.I wish for KSE to come back in time fck mainstream love kse…old fan

I am not really impressed so far. I will have to really sit down and listen to it a few times before I can make a final judgement but I see this like I see Wrath, some new things but “cruise control” for the most part.

I totally disagree. This album is mediocre at best. I’m not sure if the band was bored, but the guitars sound muddy, the songs are forgettable and it is DEFINITELY different than their other albums in that it is actually BAD. Go read the Amazon reviews if you want a real picture of this failed attempt. What a shame, I really liked these guys.
