Arch Enemy - Angela Gossow is OUT, Alissa White Gluz IN

[AeonicSlumber]

Admittedly, I'm not up what what Metalsucks thinks is good. Unlike yourself of course

Your insult generator broke because it spat out a really illogical sentence. You can't know where my opinions come from if you don't follow Metalsucks now can you sherlock?

Another new song, I like this one even better than War Eternal. This album sounds very promising!

 

[jem777az]

Yet another new song. This album is shaping up to be really, really good!

All of the songs they've put out so far have A) sounded like Arch Enemy and B) been pretty entertaining. Should be a solid disk. Alissa fits like a glove for them.

Indeed. It's still very much recognizable as AE.

I just (finally) finished my first play through the new album.

It's nice to hear Arch Enemy back in prime shape. This is a monster record!!!!

Yep, I'm digging it. Though I liked the last few as well.

Had some store credit so got it from iTunes. Musically is quite good. Vocally it has that standard growly Abbath rasp that permeates modern metal.

Busy month. Going to pass on this one.

The vocals were never really the part I cared about in Arch Enemy anyway, I always thought Gossow was overrated and the new singer is pretty much more of the same generic vocals. It's always been about the guitar work for me, so even though I don't like the vox, I don't care because the songs are good anyway.

That said, the new album is pretty damn cool, I like the symphonic elements that show up in some of the songs, like "Time is Black" and "Avalanche", that's a new thing for them and it suits me just fine. Great riffing and solos, and the vocals are adequate as always.

 

[Mardoch]

The guitars are actually what's old about AE to me. You know exactly who it is immediately and he always sounds kinda samey. That might just be me, though.
