It's their longest album, but the songs feel shorter than ever, because they have less musical material. Some sections feel so repetitive I almost fall asleep, but that also makes them fly by fast. I already lost any and all interest to I Hurt and IWC. Even Morrigan has only a couple sections I still like, and Suicide Bomber the same. They said it's gonna be dark and atmospheric, but only songs 3, 5, 8 are somewhat so. Well, it's not gonna be an album to worship, but we may still like it and get some kicks off it, maybe there's a good song or two still unheard. But it gets boring pretty quick when the songs are more about hammering noise than emotional leads and creative formulas. I come from a place where I have more interesting things to do than listen to barking vocals over average thrash. Just my personal taste maybe, but I said it a million times, they need more memorable leads, more darkness and more atmosphere, but they went the wrong way taking influences from Lamb of God or whatever. I've been trying to explain this a million times, but it seems Alexi is made of two completely different composers, and I just happen to like the other. It's like old Wild Child came as guest musician to drop a melody for Prayer for the Afflicted, like an apology for years of abscence, then disappeared again.
Feels pretty damn retarded when you think about it
