Negative Positive
Title: Eh.
Review: It's an ok album. I wasn't expecting much from it to begin with, and aside from Stream of Consciousness and In The Name of God, I don't really hear anything interesting on here. The band just sounds like they ran out of ideas and took a bunch of them from the Metallica/Megadeth playbook. I don't mind constant change and progression, even occasional tributes to influences (but not as blatant as the "Blackened" vocal section in "This Dying Soul"). But this... just doesn't do it for me. "Going metal" does not equal tuning down, playing uninteresting, unmelodic solos and trying to sound like a tough guy. It's like they're not even trying anymore.
Is the review positive or negative?
