Negative Positive
Title: A return to form for Hypocrisy.
Review: This seems to be the best Hypocrisy album to come out in a while. Their last, self-titled album was okay, but the production struck me as a little thin and the songs unmemorable (with the exception of the slower, melancholy ones).On "Into the Abyss" I was immediately struck by the improved production and songwriting. The guitar tone sounds thicker and the crunch heftier. Peter Tagtgren also uses a variety of vocal styles, from his black-metalish screams, to his death growl, to weird, modulated singing. The songs are much more immediate on this album; excellent riffs abound and the songs stand out from one another. Standout tracks here are the slow, lumbering "Resurrected" and the chugging "Digital Prophecy."
Is the review positive or negative?
