co-sign.
that album blew in my opinion, the only redeeming thing to me was Invisible Kid...not because that was a good song, in fact it may be the worst track they ever put out, its redeeming for its comedic value...
These guys stood out to me, as I have reason to believe metal hasn't been very good these days, I mean it all just seems the same to me.
and then comes the absences that has alot of great metal and melody. normally when i hear melodic metal it degenerates into singing about elves and dragons...
