Title: God Forbid really must be Gone Forever.
Product review: Yes, the album title is quite appropriate because everything that made this band amazing on previous releases (the shining example being Determination) is far beyond gone. God Forbid traded all of their originality for popularity and a new streamlined sound. Gone are the amazing and catchy two-part guitar harmonies and the incredible breakdowns. Gone are the amazing lyrics that used to accompany thier music. Gone are God Forbid as far as I'm concerned.I gave this album two stars for effort. The band is still and incredibly talented band, and I can respect the risks involved in introducing clean vocals into music that used to have almost none. The vocals are quite impressive, and the instrumentalists are still rather talented. This album is far too streamlined and hackneyed for this fan. If you want to hear a really stellar album, check out Determination.
