Title: Terrible attempt at death metal
Review: Oh man. Haunted was bad. This is just complete garbage. How can Barnes go from a great band like Cannibal Corpse to a band with such a complete lack of skill? There is no originality here, every song uses the same THREE power chords, which, oddly, are the exact same three chords used in almost every Obituary song. Now that I think about it, every song on this album and Haunted sounds like an Obituary song. The drumming is boring. Bass is non-existent. Same verse/chorus song structure in every song. No interesting time changes. No breakdowns or memorable solos. I can't understand why so many people think this band is so great. This is the Korn/Limp Bizkit fans death metal. If you want TRUE, original death metal, with members that can actually PLAY their instruments, check out Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy, Suffocation, Incantation, Morbid Angel, Angelcorpse, actually, check out ANY band other than this one.
