Sounds pretty good so far. Some of Jesper's guitar parts wouldn't have sounded out of place in In Flames songs. Good to hear that he hasn't lost it.

Jake E's vocals leave me a bit cold. He is a good singer, but everything he sings sounds a bit phoned in. There's no emotional depth to his delivery. I'm kind of glad he's left Amaranthe; they needed a shake up after four very similar albums and I'm keen to hear what they can do with a different singer.
 
Wow - this sounds really good. I have always wondered what Amaranthe would sound like without growls. This is it. Good stuff - will be buying.
 
Another solid release. I am a fan of Jake's vocals and he sounds good here. Solid debut and nothing fancy here. Solid and melodic songs that are easy on the ears. Good release.
