Title: Agree with bronxlord 100%
Review: This album is a huge letdown. Some people call this album maturation of the band. I call it appeasing to the mainstream and regressing musically. Long gone is the intensity of Alive or Just Breathing (which was actually a metal album), which was only sporadically present on The End of Heartache. Even though the melody aspect of the band is beat to death on this album, some of it isn't half bad and that's why I give the album two stars but it's way too formulaic and repetitive and offers no variation. AOJB offered something different with every song and even with Jesse's piercing vocals and the crunching riffs, the guys still knew when and how to incorporate melody which made that album special.
Is the review positive or negative?
